I thought I'd take a break from the flea market finds this week and instead share a tour of my master bedroom One of the reasons we purchased this house was its high sloped ceilings which lend themselves to that "Paris garret" feeling. I collect french armoires (as those of you who read my blog might have noticed *winks*) and they're almost all over 9' tall, so high ceilings were a must. But the slope can really be a minus because it does limit furniture placement, so not a lot of moving big pieces around. More a little rearranging of this-n-that *winks* This room has a little way to go before it's my dream retreat. I'm hoping the hubby will install a fireplace somewhere in the not too distant future. And I'd love to have a canopy over the bed (Been working on that one for years *sighs*) But all that said, I really do love this room! There are memories and stories everywhere I turn! *winks* So come on and follow me (If you want?)and I'll show you around ma chambre *winks*
I'll start with my favorite piece in the room, this french armoire. This was the first one I ever purchased and I'd longed for one for years, so it will always remain special to me.
