because some people live in smaller spaces than ours
you are looking at our “new” bedroom
is it my dream bedroom? no
is it better than our bedroom (if you can call it that) before? yes. a million times yes
i actually feel like i am in a bedroom now
not in a room with a bed where its headboard touches the back of the couch
after much thinking, a few arguments and some tears, we finally changed this place around once again in order to fit our ever growing needs
what was done?
we moved the direction of the bed and created a half “wall” between the bedroom and the living room with the bookshelves and a tapestry we had
there are still some things to be done like painting the walls and hanging of paintings but for now i am happy
one hundred percent happier
you can see what the bedroom looked like last week here
what do you think?

Looks great!!! I love what you did with the space. And the bed spread…I love!!! Where did you get it? We have very similar tastes in home decor. My couch that’s in storage 🙁 is the same color as yours and I’ve been thinking what color throw pillows would look nice…what do you think? teal, yellow, orange????? I absolutely love everything in your lovely home. So happy for you 🙂

@Yoly,
thank you! the bedspread is from anthro from a few years ago. i have an addiction to their bedding and have collected quite a few through the years. on sale of course. as far as pillows for the couch, yellow, orange, blue, grey, black… just no red

Wow, I didn’t know you had a shared LR/BR like that, so when I first saw the pictures I just thought, What a cute bedroom! Then, when I saw it was also a living room, I was shocked! It looks great and has much better definition to both rooms.
