It has a Victrian theme. We even have an electric fireplace. I got material for curtains & the rods. We have to get a plywood for the bed b/c the box spring is to big. We found a antique bed frame.<BR/>Dh wants to put a t.v. in the bedroom. B/c money is tight & want other projects done.

My bedroom though we don't have an office in there and our tv like yours is rarely used unless we're snuggling and watching it with the kids on Saturday morning, my room still lacks something, I think it's that feeling of sanctuary you speak of. I sure hope to do better. Our main issue is "clutter".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30532543.post-84179698460766281132008-06-15T20:40:00.000-07:002008-06-15T20:40:00.000-07:00My husabd and I have been married for 3 years and ...My husabd and I have been married for 3 years and we have never had a "sanctuary" master bedroom. We had a used mattress from my Grandma that didn't have a bed frame we had it on the floor and both of our girls were sleeping in the same room as us. (11 months & 2 yrs) We did have bedroom furniture but was stored in Sandiego while we lived in Portland OR. Finally after moving to Arizona picking up the furniture and selling our car and getting a new mattress there is a 360 difference. Plus the girls are sleeping in their own rooms. I just can't believe what a difference what a peace what a postitive affect it has on your sole & attitude everyday when this sanctuary is created. Especially when your husband is at work all day and he has a place of his own to just relax and feel safe. I love keeping it this way because it makes my husband happy and to me this is a great minitsrty to show him how much I appreciate him and what he does.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30532543.post-35720406659763387522008-04-25T12:42:00.000-07:002008-04-25T12:42:00.000-07:00Found this post through Laura (orgjunkie) and of c...Found this post through Laura (orgjunkie) and of course had to come over and visit.

It has taken me years, but I finally (we still don't have a real bed but you wouldn't know it) have the sanctuary I had in mind, a south seas island getaway, complete with live and artificial bamboo and nothing has cost much, just taken years to accumulate. I agree if the bedroom is cluttered and is an office you won't even be able to slowly work on it like I have because one would never even see the potential. It would just be a cluttered mess and the closet, well, that comes naturally, my cousin calls it a 'department store closet'. I have a personal rule, whenever I buy clothing for myself, be it from a thrift store, consignment store or department store, I have to discard the same amount of items from my closet, to make room for the new, of course! I stick by this rule no matter how difficult at times and it really works! I've also taught the boys to do the same, both in their closet and in their playroom. Stay organized, it is the key to a happy life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30532543.post-46435216149153542122008-01-02T18:44:00.000-08:002008-01-02T18:44:00.000-08:00Thanks to each of you for the very sweet, kind com...Thanks to each of you for the very sweet, kind comments. I like the bedroom divider suggestion. I totally understand how sometimes there are no options for "office" except bedroom. One thing, though, that I ought to have done while "office" was in bedroom was to shut down my computer each night. I didn't and for some reason after the "office" was moved - that sense of quiet (with no little tower fan) was amazing. So,I'm not sure if you shut things down - but that does make a difference. <BR/><BR/>Blessings to each of you as you seek to make your bedroom a beautiful sanctuary (using simple touches)....Lylah Lednerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04436702227303638509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30532543.post-18036500413787355252008-01-02T18:34:00.000-08:002008-01-02T18:34:00.000-08:00Consider a simple room divider/screen.
