« Summer Tour of My Home »
Thursday, June 25 Master Bedroom
So today the tour will continue to the second floor of my home, first stop my bedroom.
This is my winter bedspread. It is silk and hand made from China. I adore it and my children have ruined it (ripped the seams) already by jumping on my bed all the time.
This is my summer bedspread and baby girl wanting to be silly!
Yes, I have a toddler bed in my master bedroom. My bed is too small for all the the children who end up in it each night. So someone has to sleep here.

This is my dresser and it contains my clothes The top of my dresser has two lamps(with two Chinese good luck fobs), one jewelry box from China, the porcelain hand is for holding rings, another small jewelry box from my daughter and two German handmade music boxes(that I purchased and hand carried back from Germany). Taped to my mirror are notes from my children telling me how much they love me!
This is hubbie dresser . . . that is mostly empty . . . seriously . . . he doesn't use it, pictures of our family adorn the top.
All four of my walls pictured here. Painted a very dark green with flecks of moss green and dark brown. I painted this room and then sponged it. The wall with all the mirrors actually has tissue paper crumpled and glued on the wall and then painted. It took FOREVER, so I only did the one wall. I like the dark color and have not grown tired of it yet. I like that wall a lot, and would love to put more mirrors up, but hubbie will kill me if I do! I made (w/ a sewing machine) the curtains (lined and all) myself and made the curtain rod from plumbing tube and spray painted it gold. There are speakers that are wired to our surround system when the mood strikes . . . perhaps in 6 more years when my children aren't sleeping with us. (I hate televisions in the bedrooms). I don't like that even though I painstakingly made this room so dark, light still peeps in through the doors! I can not sleep if there is one sliver of light on my face!
This is the ceiling which I love and adore . . . it is curved and high.

door on the left is to en-suite and the door on the right is to enter the MB
This picture - Love this - I received this from a dear friend the day I came home from the hospital with my first born. It is me completely!

oh, and baby girl doing her stretches!!

Your room if beautiful~ I LOVE LOVE LOVE~ the wall of mirrors!!!
I love your bed and dresser! The wall with all the mirrors is awesome!!!! I love mirrors and I love how you arranged them all!
Your room is gorgeous. I love the walls; I can't believe you did all that yourself. I would not have the patience! Thanks for sharing!
So this is me being completely un-original, but I LOVE that wall of mirrors.
What a beautiful picture, and such a wonderful memory.
I love the mirrors on the wall - I may try these.
Do all of your kids sleep with you?
you seem to have a very eclectic & cool style. :-)
I love the dark color of your room. Looks very cozy.
Found you on Candid Carrie. Great blog.
Just a girl - Yes, all kids are in my bed by the end of the night. Baby always beside me, son at the bottom, daughter has moved to the toddler bed b/c there is no more room!!!!!!
Thank you all!!
Love the cathedral ceilings. It's very cozy and spacious!!!
I just love this post!!!!
I totally echo what everyone else said about the mirrors. The color is wonderful too--did you buy your bedspread when you were in China?
I hate light in my bedroom as well. It should be pitch dark to sleep IMHO!
yes, the bedspread is from china
I love your bedroom! It seems so cozy, especially since you have actual curtains! (I need to get some of these; blinds don't cut it when it's really bright.) The wall of mirrors is really cool, too! Very striking.
I LOVE your wall of mirrors!!
Love the color of your room.
Hubby and I used to have to sneak out of the bedroom up until about 6 months ago when our youngest stopped sleeping with us on a nightly basis.
Alot of work has went into this room...very nice. I think the wall of mirrors is a neat idea! My MIL would love it, she is addicted to mirrors.
Ooh! I like it! Nice idea with the mirrors on the wall!
Love all the mirrors...how cool!
Very nice!!
I need some curtains bad---I just may go full length now that I've seen yours, but my room may be too small...hmmmm.
and what is a sleep machine?? i'm intrigued..
Very, very cool! Love the colors.
I love the colors! I don't have a nightstand. We gave them away when we moved ohhhhh nearly two years ago and never bought new ones.
Everything is tossed on the floor. That's probably a design NO NO, right?
I like to live on the wild side though. It's really ok. It is.
On my side is a nightlight, a vase w/ flowers, and a photo of me and my daughter. On the hubby's side is some speaker thing for our surround sound. :)
Wow! Love your furniture. And those vaulted ceilings are fantastic!
Great bedroom! :)
Fantastic bedroom! I wish my dh's dresser top looked like that. We have one giant one, but his half is covered in his stuff! I guess I should be glad it at least gets that far. LOL
And my nightstand holds my clock, lamp, and scriptures.
i love the wall with the mirrors and really like the idea you had with the tissue paper to create the texture.
i also cannot sleep with ANY light whatsoever, and need some sort of white noise or i'll be up all night. i use a fan.
my nightstand has just a lamp, a photo frame, my perfume and a little spot for my blackberry.
On my nightstand? Way too much! I've got a phone, a clock radio, a lamp, a box piled very, very high with magazines, books I want to read, notebooks, pens; lotion, kleenex, and nail polish.
I love your ceiling! And the wall with all of the mirrors! My bedside table is a disaster: phone, lamp, 8 or 10 books, tissues, baby monitor and a candle. It's a might crowded.
I too have the hardest time sleeping if light comes in...it wakes me up promptly at 5 am and is mean during the summer staying out until after 10p.m.
I do love the sun however. Beautiful bedroom...and I LOVE the mirrors...so I did a sneaky thing and bought antique silver platters, bowls and plates to adorn my wall above my bed. See honey it's not a mirror:):)
My nightstand can rarely been seen by all the clutter atop...sigh...Always something to add to it!
Lovely room!

Gorgeous as always!! Thanks for sharing and I LOVE the pics of baby girl !!
Lovely! On my nightstand I have the 2 books I am currently reading, my journals for my boys, my lamp, the baby monitor, a telephone, a framed picture of my boys. :)
Your bedroom is very pretty!! I love the colors and I love those green pillows!!
I love your wall decorations!!! Super cute. :)
Loved seeing your room! That color is wonderful!
And if you don't like TV, is that why yours is turned around backwards. :)
Thanks for sharing!
I love that you have a toddler bed in your room. Such a great idea!
My nightstand...glass of water, earings, book, advil (childproof cap) and vaseline lip stuff!
That toddler bed is too cute! I bet that is very helpful at night...=)
Nice high ceilings! Makes the room feels so big.
Thanks for your sweet comment! We ragged the walls.
I have a shard box too! I love that winter bed spread!
Very cozy & eclectic! Thanks for stopping by my blog!
i love the toddler bed. i had one in my room until just a few weeks ago and finally i decided it was too cramped in there with the pack and play and a toddler bed! someone had to move out. but all of our kids have slept in our room at some point.
I love your wall colors! you house is so full of treasures! And love!
