Starting on the Master Bedroom

Well its been a few days since I posted and I think i finally got it figured out what im going to do with my bedroom. Well here is the whole idea of the "scheme" we are going to use.
So whatcha think??
Im going to make an upholstered headboard for our room and probably re-cover a bench to put at the foot of the bed. We plan to paint the room this shade of blue and use the white duvet cover with blue throw pillow and a blue throw blanket at the foot of the bed. Then use white drapes for my window treatment.

I am so excited to get this whole project started. I will post pics on by one of the projects that I get finished and then at the end I will post a final pic of the "NEW" master bedroom.

I would just love to do the whole house all at once, but i have decided to do one room at a time and once its completely finished i will move on to the next room. So i think next will be the kids bedroom, or the kitchen (not quite sure yet). If you have any ideas for the bedroom i would appreciate it!

Love yall, Ashley

decorating has began

Okay, so I have slowly began my house transformation. It appears like this is going to take a while lol. I have been spending several days looking through new home decor and trying to get a better idea of what i want.

So as of now i just basically know that i need more light in here. My house seems so dark (kind of depressing if i might add).

Right now i have a dark brown bedroom suite, which i have listed for sale. My plan is to sell this and get a metal white headboard for my room. Im going to do out with the standard dresser and instead im buying a 5 shelf white book case and putting in the closet. Then i will have baskets (with labels of course) of whats in it . e.g. t-shirts, undergarments, belts, ties. etc. I think this will really open up the room. My room is currently painted in a coral pink color. That has to go. So me and husby have decided to paint the room a very very light blue with a hint of gray and do an accent wall where our headboard will be. Lots of white, blues, and a small pinch of some green.

Little did i know, metal headboards (especially white) are very hard to come across without spending an arm and a leg (ouch!!). so i guess we will be buying a regular copper or brass one and painting it white!

I will be posting before and after pics once its completed so stay updated!

P>S. Any ideas on this room would be greatly appreciated! Im sort of still new to all this shabby chic stuff
