For over a month I've been working on re-decorating my master bedroom. If you'll remember that room was called the stop-light room. It got that name because the walls were yellow and green and had red curtains of all things at the window. I wanted something calm and sophisticated. I also wanted something on the masculine side. It is a pet peeve of mine when Master Bedrooms are decorated cutsey. How is a man supposed to sleep amidst pink flowers? So I chose what I thought was slate gray color for the walls but actually turned out more blue. And I upholstered a headboard. The headboard was so much work. Whenever I start these projects I always grossly under-estimate how much time they will take. I thought it would take like a day. Oh, no. More like 45 days. Whatever! It's done and I must say it feels so peaceful. I do need a pop of color and some stuff on the walls. See me about 45 more days and maybe that will done. At least it doesn't remotely resemble a stop light anymore!
Tufting this headboard took me hours and gave me blisters. Thanks to Tim's sister though I got a new technique half way through that made it go by much faster.
I sorta feel like I'm in a nice hotel when I look at my bed. Nothing is better than propping myself up in bed now for TV and reading.

Come do my house.
Your bedroom is gorgeous! Wish I was that ambitious.
It looks like it came out of a magazine! I love it Jess. I have been wanting to make that headboard for years. I think it will be a few more years until I get to it. Very peaceful and tranquil!!!
It really does look like a hotel. Can I come and stay and get breakfast in bed?
