"Plus, sleep and marriage experts generally recommend to save the bedroom for sleep and sex, and since one statistic showed couples with TVs in the bedroom have half as much sex as couples without TVs in the bedroom" Really??? I don't know who these "experts" interviewed, but I can assure you that the tv has never presented a problem in the intimacy department in my own home. Also, I find it sad these so called "experts" deem the bedroom as the only suitable room for sex in one's home. IMO, lack of imagination, or perhaps some other undisclosed "issues" in the marriages of those who were interviewed by these "experts" seem to be the more likely intervening factor. Our bedroom tv sits on a bookcase on the wall across from our bed, since DH uses the armoire for storing some off season clothing.

Mine is the same size as Marti8a. I have a short rod inside the door (from the Container store, I think) that has holes for hangers. It is NOT an "over the door type rod" it does not hsow from the outside. I have a high rod for suits and pants, and a rod below it for blouses and jackets. Shoes are on the floor. Out of season clothes are upstairs and sweaters, etc. are under the bed.

Thank you Marilyn, This is a cut and paste from the "It's September..." thread on the "Building a Home" forum. (link below) There are two sets of photos in that thread, each with a link to my website of photos of the project. Paint colors are as follows: Exterior: SW Moderne White / Roof is Metal Sales Ash Gray Interior trim: SW Snowbound semi-gloss Ceilings, closets & workroom downstairs: SW Snowbound Link, laundry room & hallway to laundry room: SW Humble Gold Bathrooms: SW Grassland All other rooms: SW Ancient Marble Jay Here is a link that might be useful: It's September- How is your build progressing? thread

Well, we put in an offer on ANOTHER house (this is the 3rd one) Maybe the third time is the charm? The bedroom is much smaller than my current room which is over 13x17. I'll worry about the furniture IF we get the house! Cliff and Joan - the room size of this particular house we put the offer on is 12'11"x13'7" My furniture, if pushed up against each other with no room in between is 12 feet, exactly. Bed is 80"w and each of my nighstands is 32"w. That gives me 1'7" in this home, and it's not enough to be able to enter the bathroom. Your bedroom looks lovely. Seems it's a long room?? Below is a pic of the room in question. The current owner has a queen bed and one nightstand on the right side of the bed. The window you see in the first picture, right to the left of that (see 2nd picture) is the bathroom doorway. RED, it's been hard for me to find a home with a large master that has the other features I'm wanting in a house. Most newer homes have the large master I'm looking for, but don't have the formal living room and/or layout I'm wanting, so I'm limited. Older homes seem to have the layout I want, but not the big master bedroom. I too agree with Kiko, see below. KIKO, got the point and am agreeing with you. I'm getting rid of alot of other furniture. I like my furniture but can live without it. I'm just not sure how to put "odd" pieces together and wanted to see how others would put a bedroom together made of mixed pieces of furniture, without it looking feminine. NICOLE, thanks for posting the pic of your bedroom. Neat bed! Thanks to everyone else who replied, truly appreciated. Hope others will respond who have a room like this, it's nice to see how others have their rooms and how they've put things together. Guess we'll see how this goes with this offer. I've learned not to get excited about any home anymore. I won't get excited until the day it closes! BUT, whatever home I get, it seems a smaller bedroom is going to be something I'm going to have to go with - just can't be TOO small, some I've seen are 12x10- nay, nay!! Thanks all!
