Master in Process

Hi Lovlies!

Today I wanted to share a space with you that often goes unseen.  I don't really understand it...but it always seems like my master bedroom is the last place I look to decorate--which is kind of silly considering we spend a good amount of time in there!  Maybe it's because when we entertain, our kitchen and living room get seen the most...or when we have weekend guests, we're more concerned with their bedroom and bathroom than our own!  Regardless, it's high-time we put some TLC into the master bedroom--and I feel totally committed to making it happen...with the help of all my lovely readers of course!

You may remember a couple weeks ago, I won my first giveaway!

The lovely Brooke of Velvet & Linen generously gave away two of her husband's giclee's and I was the recipient of this gorgeous piece.  I knew, the second I won it, it had to go over our bed.  Let me tell you a story:  Two years ago, when the hubs and I were registering for our wedding...we decided upon this Pottery Barn bedding.  Hubs loved it and I was thrilled at the thought...something that the guy and I both liked?  Sign me up!  It did not occur to me at the time (I blame my unawareness of blogland) that this would be a very difficult pattern to do much with.  So it's been pretty monochromatic in our room...until now!  We just hung the painting and I am liking how it's coming together.  Without further ado...let me introduce you to the master {well one wall anyway...}:

Ta-dah!  I can't tell you how much the blues in the painting really brought life to this room!  I actually found the pillow when I was down in Walnut Creek at a warehouse sale for $10!  How perfect is the color with the painting?

Here's a close-up!  It's amazing how the colors change depending on the lighting.  There must be hundreds of colors in the giclee alone.

Here's a view of my side of the bed.  The side table is from Ikea...and there is actually another small table, but it's currently serving as our side table in the family room.  Oh and don't mind the speakers in the ceiling...that's just the audio video in my husband...those went in before the drywall...priorities!

The lamps were a pre-marriage purchase from the husband...Target I believe.  However, I think they work for now.  Adds a little bit of masculinity to the room.  His side table is from Target as well and is quite a bit smaller than the other table...so he has his political books to help balance out the height lamps.

To add depth...I have a couple pillows between the shams.  Maybe one day I'll bring for some blue Euro shams?  That could be a fun way to help tie the colors together...no?

Here's one more head on look.  I'm thinking that down the road...I should include some paintings on either side of the giclee..smaller ones to help balance things out.  Thoughts?

Soon, I plan to post some inspiration for things that I can add to this particular space to add some great detail and dimension.  I would LOVE to hear your ideas, so please let me know!
