Project Master Bedroom--Completed!

We've been in our house for 2 years, and we finally finished our bedroom! We are deliberate when it comes to decorating because we like to incorporate family heirlooms into our design, and we are willing to wait to find the "right" accents. Special thanks to Ashley's mom for the birthday money--the lamps and accents (pictures, pillows, etc) are from you!
For those who care: upper walls are vanilla and the lower walls are coral. Our accents are light blue.
Ashley's granddaddy bought this bookself with glass cabinets from a preacher in Dyersburg. He paid $100 for it, and I think he bought it in the 1980s. I think the cabinet is from the 1940s.


Jimmy brought the rug back from Turkey when he was stationed there in 2002. We built the rest of the room off the rug. The chair is an antique, and there is a tiny "baby" chair to match it. The cedar chest is also old--from Memommie's house.

Below is our cherry Amish bed and antique cherry lamp stands. Bryan especially likes the center pillow!


And finally, here is the cherry antique dresser and the "baby" chair. I can't wait until Katie sits in it! Together we can rock and read stories. Bryan's mom and dad used to refinish antiques, and the dresser (along with the nightstands) were projects.

Great room! I love the furniture in there. And how cool to have a rug from Turkey!
