"Master" Bedroom

I'm amazed at the purposefulness of God. He is the God of details. And He has blessed us beyond measure. While this is a hard transition for me for several reasons (neighbors, city water, and soaking tub-- need I say more), it is also filled with joy and awe over the provisions of God. I don't know why He is moving us. I don't know how long we'll be in this house or where we'll go from here. I have fun making my guesses, but mostly I just stand back and watch and pray, Holy Spirit of God, do whatever you want in my life. I can't wait to see what He has planned while we are here! It's something better than I can guess.









Before: This room is going to be our "master" bedroom. It is surprisingly large and I'll be able to keep my king size bed (small wonders!). All I can think of is green acres when I see these before pictures and think of my cherry sleigh bed in this room. Add a crystal chandelier and the image is complete! Now this is the only bedroom with the original wall paper and showing the water damage to the room before the new roof. Too bad, it's hard to see here, but the paper would have been really cool if undamaged.
Steve painted the room and I hung some sheers in the window today. We still need to paint the trim, but for now I vacuumed and measured and we're ready for furniture. I think my favorite old chippy-paint turquoise cabinet will fit too. We are going to take yet another step in removing the TV farther from our everyday lives and put the TV in our room. We'll have it available for when someone is sick but we would largely like to pretend it's not even in the house. I have to leave my curtains and window treatments at the old house which makes me so sad, my bedroom curtains would have been perfect here. For now I'll stick with the sheers until I find just the right thing. The upstairs rooms still have the old radiators. Thankfully there is new heating and central air and I don't have to find out how well these babies work, I can just admire them.
