Master Bedroom - Rearranged

Jeremy recently confessed to me that when he wakes up in the middle of the night and can see down our striped hallway it creeps him out. In addition to our headboard being backed up to windows made him feel vulnerable. I told him it would scare me too if I wasn't sandwiched by two men (him and Mr. Scooty Boots aka Jaguar Paw) every night to keep me safe.

For reference, here is what our master bedroom looked like before we rearranged.

And here it is now.

The bed is flip-flopped to mirror the position it used to be in.

The positioning of everything else in the room (as well as styling) is still a work in progress. But this gives you an idea of the current layout.

Since the room has been rearranged I have slept better than I have in weeks. It's also fun to feel like I'm in a whole new space – like moving but better.

    Looks great! (Although it looked great before too.) Almost like a totally different room.

    I like it better. And I like how you kept the faux bear rug in the bedroom instead of putting it back in the living room. I always felt funny walking on it. It's better for bare feet.

    Mrs. L. - Thank you! I'm still figuring a few things out, like the little seating area and decorations but otherwise I'm really excited about the change.

    Tara - Thanks! The rug (which is actually real sheep skin - don't tell PETA) is definitely a little more cozy and appropriate in the bedroom.

    Oh yes, I understand hubby! Let me tell you our saying in German: one who sleeps w/his feet facing ANY door, will be carried out of his house this way = death. So I am glad you guys changed things around. Happy resting! Cheers, Julie

    Oh my, Julie! I actually think I've heard that phrase before. Good thing we flipped our bed around!

    I like the changes. The feng shui of the room feels much better.

    Good idea! it's bad feng shui to have your bed facing the door anyway!

    Thanks you guys! I'm still trying to figure it all out and get everything just right but that's part of the fun, right?
