Master Bedroom Progress

I started the "do" on our Master Bedroom way back in January. 
Oh my gosh, was that really 8 MONTHS AGO!?
Oh, wow, I am really slow.
Well, what can I say, I have triplet toddlers...
'nuff said.

Anyways, here's what's been accomplished in 8 months...

we painted,

we built an awesome farmhouse bed,

we bought new bedding (we had to save up over the months and buy one piece at a time),

we got new lampshades for our old lamps,

we repurposed some old artwork, made some artwork and bought some new pieces,

and we made a long curtain rod and hung drapes.
        


So what's left, you ask?

We bought a cool old dresser off of Craigslist that I am in the process of refinishing (I'll do a whole other post on that project).
It's a bear of a project that is taking me forever to finish.

I also want to put our old nightstands in the boys' rooms and build these ones from Knock-Off Wood for our room.

And last, I still need to paint Jacob's dresser white. 
It used to be white, but after I painted it years ago, 
I applied polyurethane on top and it turned the whole thing a nasty yellow color.

My goal is to get all of this accomplished and the room finally finished in the next 2-3 weeks...
we'll see how that goes...

  1. That video of your kiddos is so cute! You are one busy lady. :)
    Your bedroom is so beautiful already! Can't wait to see it finished!
    Hope you have a great, hopefully relaxing, weekend.

  2. LOVE what you've accomplished so far. And I only have one 3 year old, but I understand about how these things can take forever. I've got a similar vision for our master bedroom...the wall color, the beachy accents, even your curtains are similar to mine! My husband will also be building a bed (and bookshelves) for us, but right now he's working on one for my son. Your room is gorgeous, and can't wait to see the finishing touches!
