:: master bedroom makeover - help? ::

I'm feeling the crunch to complete a few more projects before school is back in session. I started the summer with a long to-do list, and I have checked off quite a few items.

I decided this summer to record the "Things I did" rather than schedule to-do's on my calendar and feel disappointed when they did not get done on time. It has been enlightening to discover how much I really do get done in a regular day at home, even if most of them are not tasks from my to-do list. I have celebrated the little things I do, like spending some one on one time with Hunter eating breakfast at his little table and saying "cheers" before each sip of coffee, visiting the bakery early in the morning for warm donuts, or walking (very slowly) to the park and stopping along the way to admire each rock, flower and tree that piques his interest.

Kids seem to make your life much more busy, but also provide so many reminders to stop, slow down, and savour the moment.

When the busy-ness of life is at it's peak, there is nothing I like more than crawling into my freshly washed sheets and reading a good book. Our master bedroom has been in need of a makeover for a long time, and though I have purchased a few things to spruce it up, I know I need to do more and I am not sure where to go from here. Since my design sense is nothing like my blogger friends Lindsay, Jen, Sarah, Shannon or Christine I really need some help! (I would love Sarah Richardson to come and help - I've sent off my application.....fingers crossed!)

Here are a few pictures of our bedroom right now. What would you add? Right now we have the items to make a DesignSponge inspired headboard, and I am on the Kijiji/Craigslist hunt for an interesting armoire I would most likely paint navy or gray/blue to hide our TV.

I'm also considering a photo wall of pictures of my husband and I. We have many since we have been together since we were 14. Actually, we have been together 14 years this year. Half our lives - and still very much in love :)

Ok, design savvy friends....Tell me what to do!

boring bed - what kind of fabric would you use on our DIY upholstered headboard? 

Our curtains.

pretty dish I thrifted - love this design/colour scheme.

My dresser.

Hubs' dresser, TV. Extreme lack of stuff on walls. Need a chair?

p.s I found this armoire on Kijiji and I really like it and think the design on the doors is similar to our curtains and my thrifted plate. I think it would look nice painted it navy and with some new hardware. What do you think? Have you repainted furniture like this? Centsational Girl has a great tutorial and I think I could handle it on a nice summer afternoon. Hopefully it has not sold yet!
