YAY!! Show Us Your Life is back at Kelly's Korner, and this week it is all about Master Bedrooms!! Hop on over to her blog and take a look at all the other gorgeous bedrooms, and then add yours in as well :)
The thing that's great about our Master Bedroom is that if you had asked to see it a little over a year ago, you would have laughed!! To say it has merely changed is a HUGE understatement! While living in England we literally had NO furniture. Our bed was a mattress on the ground, and used those 3 drawer plastic bins as a dresser. No nightstands, no lamps, no bookcase. Nothing! Needless to say, when we got back to the States we had to do some major furniture shopping :)
Here is what our room looks like from the hallway...
And from the window side of the room...
Our dresser & book case, or the"family shrine" as Chris calls it :)
And looking towards the hall from my side of the bed...
One of my favorite pictures, painted by my sister-in-law. I'll be framing it soon, and hanging it by our bed. You can't see the details, but in the awnings, the steps, the door and the siding of the house are words like "honor, unity, covenant, respect & love". You see, that's what makes this painting so special. When Chris & I went through our required pre-marital counseling, our pastor drew us a pencil sketch of a house, and wrote words all over it that symbolized what our marriage "home" should look like over the years as it weathers the ups & downs of life. We loved it so much that we asked Stephanie to paint us a picture of her interpretation...and I think she did a fabulous job!
