The Big Bedroom

The condo has three bedrooms, though the third bedroom is a little small and just off the kitchen. We suspect it was the maid quarters back in the day. In the main part of the house there is a larger bedroom and a smaller bedroom and they are connected with an interior door. I'm not sure why the original architects wanted connecting rooms.

When we moved into the house the larger bedroom was painted a beautiful red and it really made a statement. I loved the color but it was showing it's age and I wanted a calmer feeling in that room.

This bedroom is a perfect size for a king size bed and we found a good deal on a bed frame and a mattress and had it delivered this past week. In preparation for the delivery we took a day to paint the room. Once the bed went in place we didn't want to have to move it and risk scratching the hardwood floors.

I love how the room has turned out so far. We would still like to add some color to the bed with a blanket and pillow shams and art work to the walls but we are keeping the furniture to a minimum.

The love seat in the corner of the room is one my mom bought at Ethan Allen in 1973. I had it reupholstered about 15 years ago and the fabric looks great with the wall color.

Seeing how well the big bedroom is turning out has inspired us to keep on painting. I can't wait to see how the other rooms transform.
