Please help me redecorate my master bedroom!
Comments (6)The most economical solution would be to bite the bullet and paint the desk from your teenage bedroom set that you are using as a vanity. Then ditch the teenage dresser and move the vanity. The shelves in your towers are currently being under utilized and you say you need storage for folded clothes. I would put curtains on the glass with top and bottom rods and use the shelves for the folded clothing. If the only reason the black curtain is there is to hide the cords, I would remove it and fill the area with wicker baskets that have covers. This will hide the cords and offer more storage. Paint the purple shelf black. Since you say you are willing to budget some money for improving the looks and function of the room I think you would be happier if you just got rid of the teenage furniture altogether. Sell it on CL. Then get a second hand secretary desk that looks more grown up and use it for a vanity. Get one that has a hutch to fill the wall space and you can use the cubbies for storage too. One that sits on legs would look light and airy in the room, but if storage is an issue, get one with drawers below. The flip down work surface would stay up most of the time so as not to crowd the room. These secretary pieces can be found on CL for cheap. You will feel more like a princess doing your routine at one of these than at you old teenage desk. If you sell the desk and dresser, and get a secretary the cost might be a wash. If you are planning on painting the secretary black anyway, you can even get a scuffed up one for very little money. Then with a secretary painted black being used as a vanity on the wall, and all the other furniture black, I think you could leave the two towers as they are as the economical option. You don't want everything to be all black do you? You just want to not have a myriad of wood tones and treatments. Your idea to get an entertainment amoire is nice. I think that a TV hidden behind doors is more peaceful for a bedroom and would look better being less cluttery. An amoire would have a smaller footprint in the room and also give that wall some breathing space. They are cuter too and you could find one that looks very feminine. Again, CL to the rescue. Buying a clothing amoire and adding a shelf inside for a TV, will give you style options that are more suited for a bedroom than a rec room. They are usually on feet and a big bulky thing like an amoire in a smaller room needs feet to make it seem lighter. There are some nice entertainment amoires made for LR TVs and they can be found on CL for a song. A nice secretary as a vanity? ===================== An amoire for TV and clothing?

Comments (4)There is a whole range of prices for (recessed lighting < 4" in diameter) ranging from the low $20 - $30 to $160 + per light. The higher output, longer lived ones tend to cost significantly more. For example Juno has 2" recessed lamps (with and without gimbals) that could cost between $120+ to $200. Although pricey, they are well made. For example http://www.lowes.com/pd_635486-38269-2A-930S1-WH___?productId=50249825&pl=1&Ntt=juno+2%22 Gimbals could get out of alignment over time, requiring periodic adjustment. Some basic considerations Are these intended to provide the main lighting? If so, higher output lamps would be needed. The light dispersion - cone of light could be relatively narrow (assuming < 4" aperture) leading to more units. How much glare will you get from the lamps? The CRI (Color Rendition Index) also counts towards the cost. Is dimming important? If so, what is the advertised dimming range and what is the dimmer required? (most likely an ELV dimmer). If an electrician is going to install the lights, the labor cost will be per can and potentially become the dominant cost. The lights will likely be placed around the perimeter of the room i.e. ~ 1' to 2' from the walls....See MoreHelp me select my bedroom furniture? Plz help can’t decide.

I HATE my master bedroom and decided it needs a revamp
Comments (51)Well hello Sarah. Good for you. I see you and your husband are okay with painting the room. Bottom line Sarah you are the ones who have to be happy with the room after all you and your husband are the ones who have to live with it and painting it again is no fun. Originally you wanted to make the room feel bigger. It is up for debate; some say darker colors do the job, others light. Anything that reflects light in a room makes it feel bigger such as mirrors, wall lights and I believe, lighter walls. I ask, what color makes you and your husband happy and gets you excited? Also what color is closest to your duvet? Do you want to match the duvet or go just one color lighter? It does seem as if this project is driving you up the wall. Ouch. My wish is that you had a room upstairs that you could turn into a master. BTW the one with a touch of grey looks great. Best wishes, Marcie...See MoreBhavs
