MBR saga - before/after pics

15 years ago

Hi, I'm not sure if anyone remembers but I was posting questions about my MBR decorations about an year ago, many of you guys gave good suggestions and thank you all for helping me to get here.

I spent quite a bit of time, energy and $$ on this room and would like to wrap it up and move on to another. I wont be able to make any major changes but would certianly like to add/remove/update accessories, so please provide me again with your comments and suggestions.

There are things that I still have to do in there like the bedding(the one in the pic is temporary), TV and a rug(but I'm lost as to how to place the rug). I was so excited to show it to you guys that I didnt want to wait any longer. So here they are

    Wow! I am a big fan of blue, but that new color really looks perfect with your furniture.

    It's so much warmer now. Nice job!

  • 15 years ago

    Great job! What color did you use?

  • 15 years ago

    I do remember when you posted about this room. It looks great. I really like the new color. Everything is nicely coordinated.
    I am guessing by the blue tape on the wall that you plan on a flat screen? My only suggestion is to move it over to the wall to the right where the cable outlet is. It seems to make sense and maybe have better viewing from both the bed and the sitting area.

    You room was lovely before, but it has a much more cohesive look now. Not sure if you are interested, but there is another way to hang your WTs I thought I'd mention. You can put drapery hooks on your pinch pleats and then remove the clips from the rings and then hook the drapery hook into the little ring that is attached to the rings on your curtain rod. It would raise up your curtains slightly as well.

    Thank you all for the compliments.

    Compumom, the color is Behr Bagel, mixed in SW. I asked the SW guy to reduced the yellow a little bit in it.

    kmcg, the wall you suggested for the TV is the right one for it, but the view from the bed wont be good, especially the far end of the bed. But I plan to try out both spots before mounting on the wall.

    valinsv, thanks for the suggestion, I will check them out, I never knew those existed.

    I remember your post! The looks much better. The new paint color really warmed up the walls nice.

    Very pretty bed!

    I too remember your pretty room. As pretty as it looked I do like it better now.
    As for the TV I'd put in on the angled wall it was intended to be on and get a mount that has a swing arm on it so you can watch it easily from bed or the sofa just by changing the direction of the arm. Heck they even have automated ones! That I didn't know until I checked for a visual on You Tube.

    Here is a link that might be useful: Automated swivel flat panel TV mount

    The new colour looks wonderful...so much warmer.

    I was also going to suggest a swing arm for the TV...they're great. You can also get them to tilt down if that makes viewing easier.

    Enjoy your new space!

    Love the new color...it pulls the whole room together!

    justgotabme, thanks for posting that link, it looks pretty cool, but I hope it doesnt cost me as much as the TV is gonna cost, we have to research :)

    lisa, thanks.

    How about any rug suggestions? I originally planned to place a large rug that partially goes under the bed, but was worried that it might get in the way to the bathroom and closet which are in the corner between the bed and the dresser. I feel like I atleast need something on both the sides of the bed for landing.

    I am new here and did not see your MBR before - I love,love the layout of your room with the bathroom off to the side and the sitting area a seperate space by the window. It looks so comfortable. I think it looks great - I love all the warm colors and your furniture, artwork etc. Looks like a nice place to be. I could totally see myself reading a good book on the loveseat with a cup of coffee.

    Thank you Katrina, I'm blown away !! :)

  • 15 years ago

    Paint does make a huge difference but that's a transformation!

  • 15 years ago

    vcheethi, there are other types of swivel flat panel TV mounts that would cost much less than the one I linked, though you'd have to adjust the angle manually.

  • 15 years ago

    I like the new look! WOW!

  • 15 years ago

    Thank you every one.

    justgotabme, yes I was just checking those too. Thanks.

  • 15 years ago

    You're welcome.

  • 15 years ago

    Your changes look much better! Both rooms are now like warm hugs. Good decisions!

    One TINY thing -- in the last pic that cord bothers me. If it must be there, can you do an extension cord painted the wall color that comes straight down from the outlet, and sneaks under the baseboard over to the cabinet?

  • 15 years ago

    Thanks oceana, yes I plan to do something abt those cords once I finalize the tv location.

    Both rooms ??- u mean the bedroom and sitting area?

  • 15 years ago

    Yeah -- sorry, didn't realize that was all in one room. Isn't in my house!

  • 15 years ago

    VC, it is a beautiful room - you did a great job. I always like contrasts, but your room is a perfect example of how harmony can be peaceful and welcoming. I love your furniture, too. The bed is gorgeous. Where did you get the loveseat? We've been looking for one that has good support and isn't overstuffed.

    I agree with the others about the TV, but you have time to figure that out while you enjoy your "new" BR!
