Master Bedroom Update

I put the first coat of paint on my bedroom, and after spending all day yesterday painting the family room ceiling, I'm a little burned out. The second coat will have to wait for another day... after I go buy another gallon of paint. You never realize how big a room is until you have to paint it. Yeesh. So here's some before and after pics.


I'm still waiting for my backordered night stands to come in, I'll have to give them a call tomorrow. I just ordered some rugs too, to soften up the room a bit. I might possibly paint the ceiling, but since it turns out to be such a pain in the butt, it'll take a bit of thought.

As for the jacuzzi room, I got it all painted and some curtains put in, but I'm not loving the curtains. The old bamboo curtains let in a lot of light, and it looked great in there. But at night, everyone could see inside not only the jacuzzi room, but into my house as well since glass doors lead from the jacuzzi room into the family room. I had to be careful of dressing in my bedroom because from a certain angle, you could see that too. So I put curtains up. Erg. Now they don't let in enough light and they look drab instead of bright and cheery. I was thinking of putting the bamboo ones back up but installing a roller shade underneath them so I could pull them down for privacy. Any thoughts? I really like how warm and inviting it looks with the bamboo shades. Here's the evolution of one particular corner. Of course the pictures don't do it justice so it actually looks a little better than it does in pics but you get the idea.



I'll probably end up painting the trim around the windows white, which should brighten them up a bit. Although I'm starting to wonder if it'll look bettern to keep them natural wood.
