Master Bedroom Details

By far my most unusual project for our room was my "jewellery box" I wanted something practical and pretty.  You may have noticed the lacey containers on the shelves?  I kept seeing them at Ikea and wanting to use them in my room.  I got some candle holders and plant pots, and even a plate which I painted with chalkboard paint so I could write messages on it...

Well, in the collection there was also a long skinny flower pot cover.  I re purposed it as a jewellery box...

It sits on a shelf in my closet and it's quick and easy to find my bracelets and earrings.  SO rewarding. 

The other thing I am particularly happy about is that I FINALLY got mine and Gaetan's favourite Bible verses put up on either side of the bed.  They sit just above our reading chairs.  I have wanted to do this since we got married...21 years ago!  Talk about a long term project!

Psalm 121 for me and Micah 6:8 for him.  

The last thing I did for our room was make a "chalkboard" pillow.  It took me a while to decide what to paint on it, but in the end I went with the classic... Always kiss me goodnight.  Gaetan has been taking it pretty seriously ;)

Last, but not least, let me give you a look at our closet.  It holds everything in our bedroom, except the book we are currently reading, lotion and cell phone charger.

Ironically, Gaetan has more space than me!  I have embraced the idea of a "capsule wardrobe" and have cut back drastically on what clothing I have.  I finally got rid of all those smaller clothes I will fit in to "one day" (thank you Missy for the emotional support as I did that!!).  We added a choe rack on the extreme right, which Gaetan and I share.  It feels so great and liberating to have a closet with only clothes I know fit and feel comfortable!!  I highly recommend the capsule wardrobe!

So, what do you think?  Have a I forgotten anything?
