So something I've learned through the years, and that I've also seen mentioned on HGTV is that most people tend to neglect their master bedroom. It's always the last thing to get done or gets the least amount of attention. I am guilty of this. I spend of a lot more time on the rest of my house because I guess it's what I and most people see. I use to go to my room just to sleep, oh I had dreams and visions of what I wanted it to look like. Well, I finally buckled down and did something about it. It's not a "dream bedroom" I'm sure, but it's now more cohesive,presentable and flows better with the rest of the house.
I did this back in January but I'm now posting it. I started by painting the walls a Pottery Barn Color from Benjamin Moore. The dark color is Brewster Grey and the light is Silver Light. In a magazine called Creative Home I saw the pattern useing a stensil of the lighter color on the bottom color around the room, kind of giving a look of the color "bleeding" in the the other. (make since?) I went in a Damask stensil because I lloovvee Damask!
Next we added some new bedding that we got for Christmas, (Jordan picked out!) which I love! In my signature "black and white". I recovered the lampshades (again) and I finished with the pop of Chartreuse (my favorite of all the greens) in the curtains, which are from a great company in downtown Salt Lake, C.G. Sparks. They have great authentic pieces from India and Micro Asia, Authenic! You may pay a little more but you know you're getting a real peice, unlike some place (Anthropolgie) who build their "old weathered" pieces in a factory in Jersery and then charge you an arm and leg. But I still love them. The white roman shades with the green ribbon I made. easy peesee.
So now I love my room, I look forward to going in there at the end of the day and enjoy my new pretty surroundings. I'm sure I get a better sleep too!

Oh I love your room! I can't wait to have a house and copy you someday ;) I tell everyone about your blue room that you have pics of on facebook. Oh I love it!
Looks straight out of a magazine! Good work!
If you don't think that you have a "dream room", then I don't know what is :) You did an amazing job! It looks really good.
Wow, this turned out beautifully. Worth all the work.
you're amazingly talented! I love it!
So beautiful. I'm so serious. When we move back from Japan I'm hiring you to help me decorate. I love all your home pictures and I am so lacking in that department.
thanks everyone for the nice compliments! You're too kind.
Honestly, I've driven past your parents house so many times lately and literally thought, I wonder where Stacey is and what's she's up to!? Your room in INCREDIBLE! I'm trying to redecorate my new baby's room and I'm an SOOOO lost. I'm still working on the girls' room an while I think it's cute, it's nothing to die over like your room! AMAZING! Are you doing it as a business or a hobby? Anyway, Where do you live? What's going on? I'd love to catch up. I actually went out with Amy about a year ago and it was so fun to catch up. Ashleigh

It's all terrific (of course, because you did it) but I have to say my favorite part is how your new lamp shade looks like a pretty skirt.
