That was an amazing makeover, your husband is a very talented man and I'll bet you had the vision which is the key to successful diy endeavors.

There are other options I considered to conceal the glass of the doors.... Sheer curtains on the inside, or frosted glass spray. Of course you could put in real mirrors (but would have to remove the glass, and that is kind of a pain.) I knew I wanted mirrors because the room doesn't get a lot of light and I wanted to open up the space, but thought that real mirror might look too contemporary for the feel I was going for. In the end, the "Looking Glass" spray was what I decided to go with to get the french farmhouse feel I was going for.

I think anything over 31 inches is too high for the bedroom lamp. I think 29-30 inches is just right, but it could be a little chunkier like the ones in the furniture ad. What you have on the end tables are pretty but they disappear because they are too skinny and you see thru the glass. I love the 30" lamp and like the 32" inch but the 32 might be too tall...not sure. I keep looking back at the sofa....unless there is more space we do not see, I think its just not the right size for the room, regardless of the fabric. If you do not have another place for it, I would see if you can exchange it. I would rather see a triple dresser or armoir on that wall:) with a smaller club style chair and ottoman or chaise in the corner. Someone mentioned turning it around and putting up a flat screen....I dont think its possible, it would be like sitting in the first row of a movie theater...you only have a foot or so of space between it and the bed. The bench is another alternative but not something you are going to hang out on. If you add the matching triple dresser you wouldnt have room for a bench. You are heading in the right direction...the bed set, curtains and wall color look awesome.

Great job! For some reason, I think another framed picture over the bed would be good, or even something round but in a similiar size in the center. And how about a nice green plant on your dresser (artificial probably best) to add height, instead of blue candle. Could you get another little bench and put the two at the foot of the bed? Not sure about a rug on top of carpet - why bother? There are so many other things to spend money on. I would instead add more rattan like your blinds and lampshades. Wishing your husband restfulness and tranquility during his illness. Good luck!

My standing joke is that I've never lived with a guy, as defined above where guy=leaving things dropped or placed in wrong spots all over the house. I married a man who is neat as a pin which is a mixed blessing for someone who is also neat as a pin, because our children grew up in a bizarrely tidy and organized home. Have never seen him even leave a sock out, much less all the stuff in these pictures :). Actually it made the shock that much greater when I gave birth to a darling male child who grew into a guy! My daughter still laughs about how I always, every-single-time, made him pick up the shoes he tried to leave next to the back door and take them into his room-and where he got that idea I cannot fathom since he NEVER saw any one else do it. He lives with his fiancée now who says he is indeed a clothes dropper. She told me he can open the front door in full uniform (he's a law enforcement officer with the NPS) and in less than 30 seconds be in the kitchen which is ~ 30 feet away wearing only his boxers LOL.

Wow - beautiful choices all around, but I am in love with your fixture selections. Lighting, sink, tile, faucet. The Rejuvenation soap dish and shelf are fantastic... Great job!

I absolutely love the chandelier? Can you tell me where you found it? Everything looks great.

Thank you! I got the chandelier online at Bed Bath and Beyond (used a 20% coupon) See link below...
We have very low ceilings, so I needed to find something relatively inexpensive, but the right shape (wider rather than tall) with a lot of bang (crystals) for my buck! This one really fit the bill, but only came in white or black. I spray painted it with Krylon oil rubbed bronze and antiqued it with Spanish Copper rub and buff. Then replaced some of the newer looking crystal swags with vintage looking macaroni beads that I found on etsy.

Love the juxtaposition of the rustic with the more ornate. Its so calm and elegant. Love the simple bedding too.

How tall is the chandy I just picked one up for free the other day and thought it was too big for the bedroom but yours doesn't look to big. How tall are your ceilings? Does it hang right over the bed or at the end it is hard to tell.

Looks awesome by the way :D

It is 19" high by 22" wide. It is hung at the foot of the bed. Our ceilings are pretty low....maybe about 8 ft.

Now I have an idea of size to look for the free one I got the other day is way too big (28"). We have 8 ft. ceilings too.

Absolutely beautiful!! This is the room I wanted when I had the farmhouse-- but I never stopped working long enough to do it. Now I have the time but alas the elegant rustic style will look out of place in my 60s ranch house... oh, but it all works in your home!! There's not one thing that isn't perfect.

The closet makes me tingly--can you tell use more about it?

Funny, funkyart, my house is a 1960's colonial...but I always wanted that old farmhouse. So we ripped out all (ALL) the wimpy moulding and baseboards throughout the house and replaced it with wide/substantial trim, Added hardwood throughout, and did everything we could to revamp the style. It's more of a colonial revival look throughout---with schoolhouse pendants, pedestal sink in the 1/2 bath etc. I bet you could make this work in your room too!

I will post some pictures of the inside of the closet tonight so you can get a better idea of how big, and the layout etc. Pretty much, it is a wide reach-in. Not quite walk in closet, although it is big enough to walk into etc. just not to hang clothing on both sides. The entire closet is open, but closed off by the 3 sets of doors. 2 sets of the doors hold my clothes, and dh has one. Shoe cubbies fit on both ends (which may be may favorite part of the whole thing---Dh built them to fit shoes and purses.) The closet system is from Lowes, and I highly recommend it. You can customize it however you like and it really looks more $ than it is. We had priced out California Closets, and their bottom of the line style was almost triple the cost of these... and these are much nicer looking. If you can DIY, they are the way to go.

Thank you, Joannemb! My closet project is likely for 2014 but I've saved all your photos. I won't be able to do a real walk-in either but I am considering options for a much bigger closet solution. What I especially love is that your mirrored doors fit the decor and don't close in the room.

I am working on ways to bring in a bit of rustic elegance however my house/rooms just don't have the character to carry too much of either rustic or elegant. I think you've done a wonderful job of making your style work in your space!
