The master bedroom in our house has come a long way. We started with blue, flocked wallpaper (maybe it's nostalgia from when it was my Nanny's room, but I actually loved that wallpaper), turquoise green carpet and a huge hole in the floor.
Tiago took down the wallpaper and painted the room, and after a few months without any furniture, my mom bought us a great bedroom set. Everyone compliments us on our West Elm furniture, but it was actually a bargain, courtesy of Raymour and Flanigan. Great for us- since we love West Elm! The room color is Sherwin Williams Antique White, with Urbane Bronze as the accent wall.
This buddha was a gift from my dad. He bought it in Vietnam (after he was drafted for the war). The mirror was being trashed by my parents, so I spruced it up a bit and painted it with black and bronze.
These paintings are of my friends Natalie, Marta and Kelly. The artist is me!
Here is a (really bad quality) photo of my Nanny looking out of the window:
Here is a shot of the same spot while we were renovating:
And here is the same angle now:
This dresser was my Nanny's, and as much as it pained my mother that I painted the cherry wood with blue paint, I really like the results.
I'll leave you with an amazing photo of my uncle Tom in this room in the 80's. Amazing. Amazing. Amazing.
Ah, Uncle Tommy. Even then that outfit was hideous. At least we can laugh about it now. (When are you going to get to the backyard? I think I know I good pic for the end of that post...)
ReplyDeleteOh.. I'm just waiting until I have a good scanner... then all hell is going to break loose. And the photos of TC in the back yard are the first to be published!
