Show us your life: bedrooms!

Linking up again with Kelly's Korner for Show us your life: bedrooms!  Today is master bedrooms and guest bedrooms, and while we have 7 bedrooms in our house, we don't have a guest bedroom since we use them ALL!  We do have a guest "space" in our basement, but I'll leave that area for another post :D

Here's our master bedroom....



We have a nice tray-ceiling, but the room is a really odd shape, so it presented some challenges.  In addition to our bed, we have Caleb's crib in our room- he's not quite ready for the bunkbeds we have in the room he will share with Jacob.



Eventually, and in the event that we don't have any more little ones, we will replace the crib with a matching chair to make a nice sitting area.

In our last house, we had our t.v. in a cabinet, but we simply didn't have room in this house for the cabinet, so we resorted to hanging the t.v. on the wall.  That meant I couldn't put my mirror above my dresser, but it works.  



There are so many angles to the walls, that it made it hard to place our furniture.  Zack's dresser is almost behind the door, but we had just enough space to make it work.



And one of my favorite parts of our room....



All my babes on one wall!



My blessings :D



The movers destroyed our mattress in our move, so we were able to get a new one, and we took the opportunity to upgrade to a memory foam bed.  We LOVE it!!  And we kept the old boxspring so that we now have 2 boxsprings under our mattress, making the bed extra high :D  I love having it so tall!
I did have to use two boxspring covers, but I like the way it turned out!



Thanks for stopping by!

Gorgeous! And I'm super impressed with how you made that room work with the shape that it is!

The room is so pretty! I love that you have a real crib in your room rather than a pack n play, makes it so much prettier! Can't wait to see the rest of the house!

I love your room... especially your bedding! And I am super impressed you have 8 kids... I only have 2 and can barely stay alive :) ha!

Beautiful room! You have made it work. We just took the crib out of our room, as I am not sure when and if I will ever be able to have more babies, and it was being used for storage... Anyway, I love your bedding. Is it Pottery Barn?

Jenny said...

Bedding is Pottery Barn :D

I love the shape of your room but I can see that it might be a little challenging to work with.

As you can tell I'm a bit behind on my blog reading!
