Master Bedroom

Hi!

I've been playing around with the master bedroom.

I finally filled in that little nook in the cedar wall.

I tried to find shingles that would match, but you can see some are darker and some not so grey. Perhaps I can do something- Bleach, Ocyclean- to fix it?

Here's the nook before (with my jewelry frame up beside it).

It doesn't look so bad there, but it was off center to the bed when it's on that wall.

I removed the moldings and framed out the opening with 2x3's. I put drywall up and then nailed on the cedar shingles.

A few months ago, we cut the top part of the footboard, so it fits right under the end of our homemade bed frame.

Still need to cut a board on the bed on the right side, so it won't be sticking out so much.

I'd like to add the top part of the footboard to the headboard.

Kinda like this, but I'll cut the headboard "arms" down, so it's not so tall!

I also cut a rug! LOL!

Here it is in the kitchen when I'd moved it out to work on the bedroom last March.

It's 5x8. I cut it in half lengthwise to make 2- 5x4 pieces which I put on both sides of the bed (with the cut ends under the bed).

We'll see how the cut ends hold up!

I changed out the fabric I was using for a bedskirt with a sheet.

I used the old bedskirt fabric to beef up the curtains.

I thought they should be wider so I took the material, and put it beside the black out curtains.

I guess they still need wider rods and it'd be nice to fix up the black outs as roman blinds...

When the bed was over here, I had a wall full of curtains!

This was before I did all the drywall work. I thought it would disguise the fact that the window was off center. BTW, that material came from a duvet cover and pillow shams. I got it when my dad and stepmom came to stay with us in 2012 before they got their trailer. They stayed in C's room when it looked like this (with the door going in from the kitchen).
