If you're anything like us you can guess that our room was a hodge-podge of leftover furniture hand-me-downs from when we were growing up. We had bought a decent bed when we bought our first house but everything else was just extras that we had replaced in other parts of the house. Our room, with its green walls and leftover and mismatched furniture, was not exactly the room of peace and relaxation that I envisioned.
Master Bedroom in our first home
I looked online for some designers who do "virtual" designs. A lot of the ones I found were either way more than what I wanted to spend or they had a waiting time of months before you could get an idea of what they were going to produce for you. So I thought about it and I asked my friend Laura McFee who is a designer in Montgomery and a fellow Alpha Chi sister (Laura was actually the rush chair who pledged me so she has a VERY special place in my heart!). So I emailed her out of the blue and asked her if she could look at some pictures and dimensions of our current bedroom and put together a plan for me. She was excited to do it and said it would be a nice little side job for her.
So I sent her the dimensions, some of the following pictures, and a laundry list of wants and ideas. I'm sure she second guessed taking this on once she saw everything I sent but she was a trooper and gave me exactly what I was wanting! More on that later but here are the before pictures of our room. And just so you know, it hurts to show you these pictures right now. I can't believe we lived with it like this for so long! But in our defense these pictures were taken at night with the shutters closed whereas the "after" pictures that you'll see soon were seen in the morning with the shutters open.
The plans for the re-do coming soon!
