At one point the room looked like this -

If you haven't picked up on it by this point - guess what? Brian and I demoed the (above) framing. Seriously - in September - It wasn't just the bathrooms, plumbing, and electrical the first contractor had messed up, the framing in this room was not up to par... Makes me really worried about the beam in my kitchen and whether or not it was properly installed...
The picture below is a view from what is my office now - the tub in the left corner is now the bathroom, and the window is part of the bedroom.

The Last week of December this room was finally finished. However it took me until mid-January to get it fully decorated and looking presentable.

A few details:
I found the 'bird feather' bedding at Pottery Barn, I just couldn't live without it, so I made the headboard and curtains for this room to coordinate.
I found the dresser and Brian found the wine barrel nightstand - both at estate auctions.
Originally this room was going to be completely different, but I needed downstairs to 'flow' - so the green accent wall is the same green I used in our stairwell and in the ceiling in Brian's Man Cave.
Here are a few more views of the room
I don't feel like this room is 'finished' but I really wanted to post something to the blog.
Stay tuned, I'll do my best to post about my office and the media room as those progress. I just feel bad posting pictures when the rooms are not 'complete' - at this point they are 'done' but not furnished or fully decorated...
As always thanks for reading!
