For several weeks we have been in the process of moving around furniture in our bedrooms. When hubby and I got married, he had a king-size bedroom suit and even though mine was a queen size, I didn't want to switch to the king because mine was so new. Hubby let his son and daughter in law use his rather than move it here. It is sooooo heavy!! Fast forward 7 years, and we re-inherited the king-size furniture due to his son getting a divorce. He will be working in various states, and the company he works for rents homes for their crew so he will be on the move, and needed to really pare down his possessions.
So about 3 weeks ago, we began moving things around so we could take the king-size furniture. I had odds and ends in the guest bedroom, so a rocker, night stand and a few small pieces were taken upstairs to the bonus room/playroom. We then took that bed apart, and stored it in the basement, took the armoire to the lake for the t.v. there, etc. We pulled, and we stretched, and we huffed and we puffed, and we may have even gotten a little bit ill with each other.....just sayin'! Oh, and I may have fallen trying to get the armoire on hand trucks to load it on the pickup for its trip to the lake.

ANYWAY.....
Here is the guest room before:
Here it is today with the queen-size furniture previously in the master:
Due to the size of the room, I was unable to arrange the furniture like I wanted it, but it's still nice to have a matching set in the guest room.
This is a photo of the queen set when it was in the master suite:
Here is the master as it looks now, with the King size bed:
I found this comforter on clearance at BB&B for $69.00! It's called Medallion. The colors are ivory and champagne. The walls in this room are classic taupe.
I will use the brown drapes until I decide if I want the drapes matching the comforter. I think that might be too "matchy". Gotta decide.
This is my little reading corner. I used this table even though it's lighter in color. It kinda breaks up the heaviness of the other pieces. (I'm still playing around with PicMonkey, thus the snow). :)
I really like the look of the master. I spent today touching up scratches with stain, filling in a couple of gouges with wood filler. It's looking good now.
A TOUCH OF CHRISTMAS IN THE GUEST BATH:
The picture above is of the guest bath decorated for Christmas with whites and reds.
Sorry for the picture overload, but I really wanted you to see all the changes. I am absolutely tired of moving furniture. We had help with the king size because two old people, just can't lift everything. Although we sure tried! Believe me, there are muscles I had forgotten I had, and I hurt!!!
Come and checkout these great parties:
Oh Kathy, it looks beautiful. Lots of work moving furniture. And king size beds are enormous. Both rooms look wonderful. And I like the Christmas touch in the bathroom. As always you have done a fantastic job. Rest your bones now, I am surprised you are able to walk at this point. Hugs, Karie
ReplyDeleteWow, that was a lotta work girl!!! But the results are beautiful.....each room looks lovely with your special touches. I like the bedding in the master, nice and calm with the heavy furniture. In the spring you may want to switch to lighter curtains, just saying cause the light and mood is different then. Get some rest now!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that dresser was no easy move ! But every thing looks great ! And more room in the bed to boot.
ReplyDeleteOh that spindle bed with those beautiful curves! I would love to have one of those.
ReplyDeleteIt all looks lovely, Kathy! Isn't it amazing what a difference moving things around makes?! We don't worry too much about difference in wood tones, some mixing up adds interest.
ReplyDeleteLots of work, but to a delightful end.
The darling cup o' holly in the white frame looks beautiful!
Oh, my, Kathy! Your colors, decor & furniture are magnificent. I love the frame with the cup particularly, great idea. Don't you just love to redecorate! TY for being with me, always.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas
Hugs,

Don't go hurting anything else moving that furniture around! We want you in tact for the holidays! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI love your bedrooms, they are so pretty. The wood floors are gorgeous.

Everything looks so pretty. Don't you just love a pretty change...even tho we DON'T love sore muscles....:)
ReplyDeleteI think I would be tired too moving all that furniture. I actually have a queen set that looks very similar to the king set. It had the cannonball posts and hutch style mirror. Mine was from the 1970's, colonial style. I painted it white about 15 years ago. Before people painted everything white. Love the frame in the bathroom with the mug and berries. So cute.
