The Master Bedroom Redo

My mom commented after seeing the last blog that it's true, my bedroom does need a little something.  I totally agree.  The first thing on the agenda is to repaint the nightstands and perhaps get new lamps. First repainting.  I sanded down the nightstands, primed and painted them the same color as the wall, Kansas Grain (Home Depot).  I then sanded them down to get them to look like they were beat up and then I applied a glaze to them in a tabacco color.  The finished product is looking pretty good - and Balin is happy to have a nightstand back after 2 weeks. (My projects are never quick - especially when I only do them at night when Balin is on a trip)

This is the nightstand before I refinished it.  The black actually was helpful in making the piece more interesting when I refinished it. 

I also found an old, pine armoire that I think I'm going to purchase and refinish in the same way as the nightstands.  It will give us some much needed storage.  It will also serve as a space to give some accesories some height.  

The last thing I think the bedroom needs is new shelves.  I would like to redo the hanging shelves we have now with some detailed trip and then distress them.  Balin's not sold on the idea.  We'll see.  

From there I think I will paint the bathroom a blue to match the coverlet and get some drapes that tie everything together. 

We're getting there one room at a time.
