I’m still working on the draperies for the bedroom. I was hoping to get them done by the end of the week so that I could show you the room with the draperies on Friday. But I realized yesterday that it wouldn’t matter if I got them finished today because somehow, I miscalculated the number of curtain rings I needed for both the sheers and the draperies. I was four boxes short! (Math is hard for me. 🤣) I ordered those additional curtain rings yesterday, but they won’t even be here until Friday. So when I finish the draperies (hopefully today), I’ll move on to the next project, and I’ll have to show y’all the finished and installed draperies at the beginning of next week.
In the meantime, I got the room cleaned up yesterday and was really excited about the progress so far. So I thought I’d give you a quick look around at the room thus far. I’m well beyond the halfway point on this project, and it’s starting to really come together.
So here’s a quick tour of the room at this point. Keep in mind that the lamps will get a big makeover very soon with a new color and new lampshades…
Replacing the window on this wall with a door is one of my favorite things. I love not only the practicality of having a door in our bedroom just in case of an emergency, but I also love the look of it.
I had intended to do a wood finish on the little side table, but someone yesterday suggested that I paint it gold. I might do that instead. And the artwork that was supposed to arrive yesterday wasn’t delivered. *Sigh* It’s rescheduled for delivery today.
I still need to cover the attic access. I keep putting that off because it’s not a fun project. But of course, it has to be done.
Of course, it’s going to look quite different once I get the rest of the fabrics and soft furnishings in here. The headboard alone is going to make a huge difference. And the draperies are really going to bring some depth and texture to the windows and door. But overall, I’m so excited about how the room is turning out so far. It’s quite different from how it started out!
That’s quite a difference! It’s taken a lot of work to get from that before to the current room, and there’s still quite a bit of work to do. But I think I’m well on my way towards creating a very nice, comfortable, warm, welcoming bedroom for us.
