In Photographs

For yesterday's post on the Master Bedroom, I had snapped photos from different angles of our room. It's amazing how MUCH MORE you get from looking at a photo than from just walking in the room.

I mean, we have lived with this same room decor for about 4-5 years now. I am so "used to it" that it's hard for me to really evaluate it with an unbiased opinion.

FIVE things instantly came to mind after seeing my own post on the net though.

1. As stated above, I think I can more objectively make decisions about the direction I want our room to go after looking at it in photographs.

2. We have WAY TOO MANY photographs of our children on the walls...SEVEN to be exact. Here's the thing: I really am drawn to professionally decorated bedrooms that have NO photographs on the walls so where the heck do you put these photographs if not in a more personal space??? (Thank you "Anonymous" for pointing this out.)

3. I have GOT to replace that builder-grade ceiling fan. Now, to be completely honest with you, I would not have a fan in our room! However, this room has two exterior walls so it is a little harder to keep it cool in the heat of the summer like we are experiencing now. I think JC would nix the idea of NO fan.

4. I am thinking we need some fabulous crown moulding!

5. Maybe a white bedskirt to match the new duvet I bought would be a good idea to lighten the room closer to the floor as well as hiding the stuff that my eye is "used to seeing"!

OK...keep those ideas coming my way!
