Would you like to see the master bedroom renovation... finally? I am really embarrassed to say this is what the room looked like when we started tearing it apart in December (December!!). *shudder* We barely touched the room for the last three years, choosing instead to live with the previous owner's choice of floral border and bland curtains. Its a wonder we ever got a good night's sleep.

2. Added Lighting

We had potlights installed to highlight the shadows and texture of the wall. Other sources of light include the fab Pottery Barn sconces and my vintage chandelier. At night, the chandelier is like a glowing moon. Chloe loves to look up at it. These multiple light sources add style as well as function.

3. Decorated with Intention

The floral motif is repeated throughout the room...on the bedding, the drapery, and the wallpaper top on my vanity. Small touches but they really bring the room together!

4. Simplified Furnishings

Because the little one runs around the room, we've had to keep the rest of the decor fairly sparse and child-friendly. Accessories are mostly functional and there aren't too many things she can get into (unless you count the cordless phone and the iPhone charger... what is it with kids and electronics??)

5. Paint It White

This is the first white room we've ever had and I must admit we love it. The colour is Benjamin Moore Seapearl, a warm but not too creamy white. It's calming and restful without being stark.
