These are not easy on the eyes but they will give you a general idea of the space. About 2 1/2 years ago, our current home was <a href="http://designaddictmom.blogspot.com/2011/01/its-on-and-popping-exterior-colours-of.html"><span style="color: #dd8484;"><strong>under construction</strong></span></a><span style="color: #dd8484;"><strong>.</strong>  </span><span style="color: black;">Being pregnant then with baby number two slowed all my remarkable design ideas for each room.  However, since then, lots of decorating has been done, but the Master bedroom remains almost as bare as the day that we moved in.  </span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtezWXxxft1YdCHMHjp8JaOfV0Jev2seUJpieKB5rZGziDxMrOxxv1g-M5C_8hlHV_xDLzshFZ2_NTzYO9S0HdxfkekZPBv_nNBHAWe2xYNRObhjtMfoMwJMM8lYw_mXYdZt_UGOMuQU0w/s1600-h/Photo%252520Sep%25252030%25252C%2525206%25252027%25252020%252520PM%25255B14%25255D.jpg"><img alt="Photo Sep 30, 6 27 20 PM" border="0" height="454" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjneBbMqWStzL9c9yybIOI2d9jAwS2yZPD3k2o4EqPN0ayTBiqmzOkZOxHHS2-bxdLGPjA54vxmKquwLjhWMBnj4jRYlVYK56SuvxzzOvZawu9CKZjkJF1uQLjD9XoIdvy0G5sSiO-ANOLM/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="Photo Sep 30, 6 27 20 PM" width="604" /></a><br />This wall faces the bed and yes that’s one of those old t.v.s! It was the hubby’s very first t.v. and for some reason, he doesn’t want to part with it. We don’t even watch it! Well, maybe once or twice. Anyway, it has to go! I’ve been using that credenza as a dresser which works for me. Nonetheless, it will probably be placed elsewhere. This will become a feature wall of some sort, especially since it faces the bed. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaE-WED44xaNIog8yemRCuZWm-m5TnjqS5Ukq-iSAwEeHNRc06rOwjxEsiwmLBXD4k3CVp8nXfILfxGQaNovHXPE-pzTDk1dq07A0cIKVF5bh7yKkaH4jGT-b9NVqdJw_Op8nyYi8bsbpg/s1600-h/Photo%252520Sep%25252030%25252C%2525206%25252027%25252049%252520PM%252520%2525281%252529%25255B13%25255D.jpg"><img alt="Photo Sep 30, 6 27 49 PM (1)" border="0" height="454" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_Z8y8KjHaiyUGthJN07NH4tj0Qrgq8dGk2Px3Mks-cnjj8nX5l3nnrXFkGmoB25kCoc__lcvKKq6PvgN6ijAQzhi33ystKBOG2N7V6Tc9B1LSUzO5KZinvKbByaQPzW2k8YwNdAh7jwRL/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="Photo Sep 30, 6 27 49 PM (1)" width="604" /></a><br />That seating may get reupholstered and reused or it may get repurposed elsewhere.

Our bed faces East(a good thing) and we do receive lots of natural light. However, it is nice to be able to control the amount of light coming into the room and lined panels will help with that.
