Our Home: Master Bedroom

Happy Monday! I hope you had a fabulous weekend. We had a great time with family and friends in town for the Super Bowl. Sorry to my New England friends, but I was happy that the Giants pulled out the win. After all, I am originally a Jersey girl :)

Since I cleaned my house for our guests, I figured it would be a good time to give you a room tour.

This is what the master bedroom looked like when we bought our home 4 years ago.


And here is the room today.


The changes were pretty simple. I painted the walls SW "Rainwashed."


 I replaced the original window treatments with bamboo shades and smocked curtain panels.


They make me feel like I'm in a tropical  location.


Please excuse the monstrosity of a TV. That would be my husband's contribution to the room. This is the wall across from the bed.


The vases were given to me by my grandmother. They belonged to her grandmother.


I don't know anything about them. If any of you antiques experts have any idea, I'd love to know. This is the mark on the bottom.


Our room opens onto the sunroom.


In the other direction is the master bathroom.


I really like my bedroom to be comfortable and restful. Ultimately, I'd love to add an upholstered bench, some art and maybe a rug, but I want to be careful to keep it uncluttered and peaceful. 


Wishing you a good night's sleep :)

Super Bowl

It's a super week here in Indy!  Our family spent last Saturday at the NFL Experience and Super Bowl Village.  Just thought I'd share some photos of our fair city, as we gear up for Sunday's big game.






Look up! See those people on top of that scaffolding? ...


Now do you see them?...


They're getting ready to do this...


Zip lining in the middle of the city. How fun! We headed inside here, the NFL Experience...



The whole family had fun punting, passing, kicking, catching and running the football. Not to brag or anything, but I made a field goal. Okay, it was only a 10 yarder, but still. The Ravens might need me :)


The Vince Lombardi trophy was in da house...




Need a cold one?  That's what's in this block of ice...


And, of course, it wouldn't be Indy without race cars...


The cars decorated for each NFL team...


The whole city is excited to be hosting this great event. We even made sure there was sunshine and temps nearing 60 yesterday and today... pretty unheard of in January!

So, tell me. Are you going to watch the Super Bowl? Leave me a comment and tell me who you're cheering for!
