beginnings of a Master Bedroom

Our Master Bedroom is pretty basic right now. It's been neglected ever since we moved in, even though it should have been towards the top of the list. A Master Bedroom should be a relaxing place right? A place for the Hubs' and I to retire at the end of a long hard day and just relax and enjoy each others company -NOT wrap ourselves up in some ugly-worn out patterned comforter because we all know their ain't nothin sexy going on with that.

Here is the room, as it was empty. Right before we closed on the house.

Pretty basic. It definitely has some good bones, texture and character. I will admit, the bedroom is a LOT smaller than our last place but I fell in love with the house so much that the downsize of the bedroom didn't bother me.

The only downside to having a smaller bedroom is that we really have no other options for furniture placement other than what you see here. The cable for the TV is located/mounted in the wall right BEHIND the TV, so if we wanted to place the bed on that wall between the two windows we would need to do some extra work to relocate the cable to the opposite wall... Which in the end isn't really worth it.

I'm excited that we are able to even have a wall mount TV, especially since our TV was already a flat screen wall mount [type] to begin with [it also has a mount that attaches to it so if we didn't have a wall mount hook-up we could easily place the TV on a table of some sort... like in our last place].

Although the TV in my [humble] opinion would have looked better on the wall that the bed is up against that way the bed could be between the two windows and we could have two bedside tables on either side of the bed, where as the location it's in now we don't have that option. Booo.

So in light of all things Master Bedroom, Ive whipped up some inspiration and ideas for what I want this space to focus on and I also have a question/poll for you fab-tabulous readers out there :)

I am really liking the idea of painting the walls Gray. There's just something 'mysterious' and 'romatic' about gray walls. As silly as that sounds... but hey, better than the unattractive look and feel of a sloppy bed comforter right?

Now this is where I need your input. With the paint color and the bit of inspiration I showed you, which of the following do YOU like best?

Note: Because sometimes I can be a complete ding-dong... Number 5 is missing from the list below. I will have to dig through my files to find it and post it up.... that is when im back at my 'home' computer :)

 Home Kissing Pleat Comforter Set

American Century Home - Erika Duvet Set

 Thomas O'Brien Modern Khaki Duvet

Springmaid Leandra Sea Mist Comforter Set

Thomas O'Brien Pale Sky Comforter Set






Out of the countless and what seemed endless search through comforters and Duvets... those are the 6 that I really like, thus far. I really like light, white or neutral colors. I try to stay away from bright and super busy patterns... Although I still like pattern but the blue, above, is probably the brightest I would go. 

So there you have it. My ideas in a 'nutshell'... or should I say BLOGshell... haha... get it... BLOGshell.. muahaha ::snort:: Sorry. Ive been looking at to many patterns, pictures of bedrooms and different shades of the color Gray :)

Thoughts? Love it? Hate it? Ideas?
