this is my favorite photo of the master bedroom.
everything looks crisp and clean {not dusty...and it is very dusty}
when it is get'n some lamp light love.
i love my bed.
i love it because michael built it.
and when i say "built," i mean
cut down the trees, milled the wood,
mortise & tenon {no nails, no screws} built it.
i'll give you a moment to be insanely jealous of the fact that i am married to
my very own norm abram.
okay, moment over.
the bedding is from pottery barn- 2005.
{recognize the pattern from the area rug in the family room??}
the striped fabric for the pillows and bed-skirt is from a shower curtain i found at marshalls.
the window behind the bed is from an old building that back-in-the-day
resided on the main corner of our town.
it is filled with b/w photos of our {much younger} family
i left many windows empty so i could add more photos through the years.
the bed and window are painted black.
the side tables are from target and are a cherry wood.
you may not be able to see it in this photo, but the books in the side tables are all turned around.
{i also did this with the books in the family room amoire}.
i think it looks less cluttery to have the white paged side of the books showing
{uhhh, someone's a little neurotic?}.
what...
how do i know which book is which?
i make a list from l-r and tuck it in on the side.
this door is from michael's childhood neighbor's home.
i painted it, michael cut the mattes, we picked our favorite family photos,
michael printed them,
and vuala!
a masterpiece!
{to me anyway}
finally, this is the corner of the master bedroom which houses
the computer amoire.
uh huh, where all the blogity blogville goodness takes place.
i like the having the computer tucked away.
i DO NOT like having it in my bedroom.
this is what it looks like behind the closed doors...
and this is somewhat organized.
okay, i have to go now.
i have to clean that up...
{or say i'm going to clean it up, but spend the time reading your blog instead}.
Happy Labor Day!

How amazing that your husband made the bed, what a treasure and a neat thing to pass on later!
Your house reminds me of your blog. Ha! I guess that's what happens when you meet someone online before you meet them in real life.
Loved the tour.
Have missed your blog.
I love that there are so many
sentimental pieces in your room!
Your bed is f-a-b.
Way to go, Norm!
