I see you are in FL., and so need the fan, but let's make it sleeker, and diffuse the lighting. I matched the closet door here, but this comes in a darker finish,too:

@studio10001 - wow, I do like the conversation area. I am moving furniture now and I will post pics once I get the bed moved. See y'all in a bit.

The towers are in the closet.

The first pic is the room with the towers removed.

The second pic is the bed on the other wall.

I am not feeling the bed on the other wall, There is a narrow space from the bed and wall and the bed from the dresser to walk to the bathroom. I cannot put a nightstand at either end now. The nightstand will completely block the entrance to the bathroom.

I like it better in it's original location, however, I am going to leave it like this for a few days to see how it feels.

I agree w you re. original location.

Replace closet doors with paneled ones paint satin black. or get ones with mirrors. add brush nickel hardware. Lowes has nice ones. Paint the whole room a pale silver gray. The color you have on wall now very hard to live with. Make your bedroom more serene. Add floor to ceiling dark gray satin panels across whole wall. Add a tall 5-6 ft headboard in black velvet. Tufted. can add some bling to it if you want. Get 2 mirrored nite stands chest type big 24" add lamps with lucite base. And black shades drum style. On bedding. Get a black and gray satin comforter, add 4 pillow shames. Then mix in silver and black pillows with bling. Use gray sheets. Lose the dresser. Add love seat in a cream. Big 45" sunburst mirror over it. Candles by bed. If room add a big palm in corner by Loveseat make it formal. Do you have place for chandler? If so a crystal and with black base 18-20" hang low. A nice small crystal lamp on dresser. A orchid on bed stand in white. Drummer on lights. You have armoire in closet. That should cover drawer space. Furn is dated. Have to give it up. Z Galleries has some great mirrors and bedding, also panels, love seat. What's on floor? If wood get area rug in fussy white at foot of bed. Push under foot of bed 2-3 ft.

Hey groveraxle, I saw the nightstands @ IKEA but not glam enough....what do you think?

@studio10001 - I really love the wicker style door, where is that from? I wonder if I could paint it? I just realized after moving some stuff around in the closet that there is another A/C vent that was covered, whoa, that is a plus! I forgot that this was a room at one point. So I would need a door with angled louvers or wicker something that would help the air circulate. The ceiling fan is cool too!

@Dar, Linda, & Riva - I moved the bed, trying to get used to it. However, I do have a lot of extra space in the room now when you come in for a conversation area.

I would suggest a redesign of you bedroom. Night stands with lamps would be better. Take down the fabric behind the bed it's doing nothing to help with romance. You could make or have made a fabric headboard. See attached images

www.modernus.com

Louvred doors are an economical choice and can be got at the big box stores.

I see you have fan remove and add crystal chandelier.

Looking for some glam? How about these? There's a big price range, but you might be able to find similar for less. And, I agree with changing the color from burgundy. Unless you really love it, I would consider some of the other suggestions that have been made or look at additional rooms on Houzz for another inspiration room with a different color scheme.

Hey travisinteriors, how are you doing?! I was looking at mirrored nightstands actually, but can't seem to find a place that sells them. That would be great! IF not mirrored, then all glass is nice too! The towers are gone (inside the closet) so it feels bigger and actually cooler in the room now. I like the velvet for the headboard! The gray curtains I have now in the room are velvet, but I will get rid of those. Actually purchased them dark to hide the weird window behind it.

Linda, the window behind the curtain is all the way on the left side of the curtain, unfortunately it is not in the center of that wall & it is only 22" wide, awkward, huh, I know.
I don't want to make the closet smaller because, here is S. Florida, people love this stuff, I want to make this an easy sell when we semi-retire in 4 to 5 years. I do have friends that would love to have my closet for their 90-pair of shoes and their dressers and collection of purses. I don't have any collection stuff but I know the closet will be a BIG deal when we sell.

Good job glover, she should just cover entire wall because of window placement. Great closet, it will be a selling point. Do bedroom way you want, glam. Some people decorate for area they live. That's not important any more. Now it's do what you like. Forget about selling in 4 years. Life is short enjoy. Go on line for mirrored furn. But Z galleries sells it. Get store ck it out. They are in Fl.

Linda Zaff love all but dark ceiling fan. Good job that could work in yr room. Good for fl hot days.

Linda, I'm using Photoshop Elements.

Hey, groveraxle, don't feel bad. I was busy trying to draw in glamorous drapery behind the bed and contemplating colouring a couple of pink cushions to blend with the wall .... and you'd done it. Never mind. Means I can go to bed with a clear conscience. But R, if there's any way of dealing with the awkward window to make it possible, a headboard would be really nice. Good night all in the West from the other side of the Atlantic.

Pier one, Macy's both carry mirrored night stands.

If your interested in a barn door and hardware see our site to get an idea of the cost and to see the many designs available. See: http://rusticahardware.com/barn-door-hardware/

Two mirrored stands from West Elm: $149 and $199 each. And a woman who hacked her own mirrored nightstand with Ikea parts: http://www.ikeahackers.net/2011/12/mirror-bedside-table-feat-malmminde.html

The ceiling fan is Westinghouse from Home Depot, blades are satin nickel, and it's around $80.

I'm going to take a break, but I looked again at the room with the towers removed. The burgundy wall clashes horribly with the floor (on my monitor, at least) and I know you can't paint the base and ceiling molding because of the finish (if memory serves), so I think you might ought to rethink this whole thing and move more toward browns, tans, or greens. I don't think this glam thing has got a chance with those Mexican tile floors.

I like the fan Groveraxle is showing, and agree about your floors. I think carpeting would do alot here, no matter what style the room eventually takes on.

Oh wow, groveraxle, I knew you could do it, even the tackiest room you can take on!!! LOL! It looks great, thank you! I agree, the mexican floors don't do much for the look I am going after. I had to take a break as well, school was out and had to pick up the kiddos.


One question, is that a mirror on the right wall???! If so, it is a definite YES, where can I get it???

@Linda, love the chandeliers, I didn't know they came with crystals!! These are beautiful!

@travisinteriors - again, thank you for all your help, you and groveraxle helped me with my other rooms and they look great so far. I haven't finished any of them 100% yet but got great ideas. I am going towards silver and black with a white rug, trying really hard to conceal the mexican tiles. Everyone really came together with this one! Thank you all sooo much!

The good thing about getting a few new items is that I can take them with me when we sell, anything I do to the house will have to stay, and now-a-days it does not give you any more value.

R R, yes that is a mirror on the right hand wall and it's from--where else?--Ikea.

I LOVE the mirror, thank you!

Thumbs up to the woman who made her own mirror nightstands. That was a really nice end result! I think I will try that! :)

Finally, time to paint the bedroom!

I am 95% sure I am going to paint the entire room a light shade of blue, new white bedding, because this one has been through a lot of abuse, and maybe teal & silver pillows??!!
The trim of the windows and door frames will be bright white but the crown molding & baseboards will stay the same.

And these classy looking dark blue with silver lining curtains...

Anyone have any suggestions on pillows & furniture??

I am happy to report that the 2 disgusting and holey closet doors are completely gone. We primed the door frames white. We painted the entry door to the room which was also the same disgusting brick-brown color. Closet has been demo'd & will have a newer modern look. Stay tuned.
Sorry it has taken so long, I was tackling too many house projects at the same time, but I am now just concentrating on the master room & closet while hubby takes care of the driveway.

Nice pillows, thanks!!

Good progress. Are you selling immediately or in 4-5 years?

Thank you, apple_pie_order. Hopefully in the next 2 years we will be out of here. We know exactly where we are going. These little changes we are doing to the house will help it sell better and this neighborhood is very desired so I am hoping these changes narrow it down to an easy sale.

Thanks for additional info. New closet systems are very nice for you and future buyers. What are your current plans for paint with new colors, flooring, and window treatments? Which furniture pieces are you keeping?

I have an antique looking wood dresser, I will post a pic later. I would like to spruce up the room with industrial/modern nightstands just to keep it cozy. A set of lamps would definitely cozy up the room. I am planning to paint the entire room Morning Glory. I bought a set of white curtains but I have not put them up yet since I have to paint the room still.

This is the feeling I am going for now.

The color on the wall does not give this piece of furniture the character it deserves. I think the blue color on the walls will soften up the furniture a bit. You may not notice the detail carvings on the drawers but it is strikingly beautiful.

I think there's too much furniture right now, or maybe the wrong type of furniture. I would clear out the room and start with a clean slate.

Paint the trim white. Replace the big armoires for smaller side tables. Find bedding you love and then find a paint that seems to work with that. I would also look at a rug, maybe something that's a lighter color.

Hi Tara, I moved the armoires into the closet a while time ago and the side tables I posted yesterday will be the ones I will purchase once wall painting is done. The trim around the closet doors has been painted white already, but the crown molding and baseboards have to stay the stained brown color. It is uniform throughout the house.
Yes, absolutely, I also picked out a rug that is white with blue stripes. Bedding will stay white.
Groveraxle was right when he pointed out that it is hard to go modern with mexican tile flooring so I am working around the floor.

I should have read the comments first! :)

It's ok, Tara :0), the room has taken a good turn around since I first started. I need to update pics & already bought the curtains too! Once the painting is done, the room will look like an instant facelift.

Before and after closet doors

The closets door have been removed and we painted the trim white.

We also painted the entry door to the room white. Still looking for closet door alternatives.

If the doors can be painted white or a semi-gloss that will match the blue Morning Glory paint color, I'd put them back on. If the doors are kaput, then match new doors to the style of the other doors in the house (looks like a new white six-panel door?) I would paint the inside of the closet the same color white as the trim, in an eggshell finish. Or match the color of the closet system (probably some goodlooking white).

If there's extra cash in the budget down the line sometime, you could add a full length mirror cut to fit exactly between the closet doors, trimmed with molding at the top to match the door frame molding, and extending all the way to the base molding.

BTW, for some reason the recent photos are not enlarging when hovered over. Want to try uploading the antique dresser photo again?

Is this better?

This house was a foreclosure so previous owners punched holes in all the doors in the house. The doors came in handy, we used them in our firepit outside!

The double mirror behind the dresser will be replaced with a nice round one, probably. The wood pieces that hold it into the dresser broke and they are caving in. This furniture weighs a lot.

Thanks for explaining about the doors' damage. Good "recycling" in the fire pit. Sometimes it's good karma to get rid of things heavily damaged by bitter people.

The photo just doesn't expand on my computer. Maybe it was taken as a small photo originally?

Are the two mirrors original to the dresser? If so, repair to the supports could be an option. Large round mirror or large rectangular mirror could be fine, too.

Yes, we have done a lot of work to this house in just 2 1/2 years due mostly to damage left behind. I have remodeled all the rooms in the house except the master bedroom & the living room. I got stuck in the living room. I just wasn't feeling it.

I think a nice round more contemporary mirror would look nice above the dresser. The mirrors now are long and narrow and I want something more calm and romantic.
We knocked down 3 walls in different rooms, put up new drywall in other places.
Driveway is in the works now, but I am not involved with that. All the light fixtures and bathroom vanity mirrors were gone so we had to replace them. In addition, all the closet organizers were also ripped out of the wall leaving huge holes in the drywall. So it has been a long road & I tried to tackle all the rooms at the same time, but now that I am close to finishing the house, I can concentrate on one room at a time.

Great mirror, love it.

What an incredible amount of work. You are close to finished. In another thread I mentioned using "inspiration pieces" to decorate. Do you have one for the bedroom or living room? Sometimes an hour at Calico Corners or surfing art.com can be a wonderful thing.

@apple, that is a good idea. I haven't thought about an inspiration piece. The only thing still hanging on the wall is our wedding picture, it is only 11x13 so on the big wall, it is invisible. Not sure yet where it is going to go. I can probably have it enlarged more.

I know it has been a long time since my last post but we had an unexpected surprise over the summer last year. I found out we were expecting baby @# 4, he is now 4 months and I am back to finishing projects throughout the house. I have had a lot of time to think this room out.

The master bedroom & master closet are now painted a fresh and cool "Morning Glory" shade of blue. The tall armoires fit perfectly in the hole in the wall on the left inside of the master closet. The closet organizer is from amazon.com: Rubbermaid 4-8 foot closet organizer in Titanium. We changed out the dark blinds for a new modern pull down accordion shade, I really like them & when they are all the way up, it doesn't distract from any light coming in from the outside. The off-white curtains still hides the odd & off placement of the window. The bedding is new, unexpected, but on sale. The side tables are our old living room side tables and those of you who have followed me over the last 3 years remember those black with bamboo zen lamps that were in my living room that everyone told me to get rid of . I removed the bamboo, spray painted the lamps Rustoleum Silver in Textured and used a glue gun to attached the silk fabric on the inside of the lamps. The lamps work and look great when we have company over and are showing the house. And of course, not included in the original layout, LOL, is the crib and the changing station.

Still looking for a headboard and a new dresser mirror. Pics coming soon; having a problem downloading them onto the site.
