We Have Blinds! (Sneak Peek of the Master Bedroom in Progress)
After talking about window treatments for almost a year, I thought you might like to see what we finally got. Ta-da:
It’s probably very anticlimactic after all that talk but I could not be happier. They’re white linen with blackout lining and I got the same ones for the bathroom and one of the guest rooms.
This is the sitting area of the master bedroom and it’s where I go to read (which these days is never). I’m really happy with how the space is coming together working just with what I have. The sofa was a hand-me-down from my parents. I had intended to paint and reupholster it but once it was in place, I actually liked how the dark wood and cream worked with the gray and white in the room. So it’s staying as is. The cushions are all old ones from my stash. I just need to get a side table.
Once I find one and get art up on the walls, I’ll show you the rest of the room . . .

Everything about it is perfect. You have probably already answered this, but what is the wall color?

Looks great! Its amazing how window treatment can brighten your day!
Beautiful, and I really like the settee.
Looks great! A perfect place to curl up with a book.
These are stunning! You will be so glad you spent the extra money and went for blackout lining. Blinds are something that I hate to spend money on, but they often make the biggest difference in the room.
Sometimes simple is best and these look great!! Show us more…:)

couldn’t be lovelier!!
Love the window treatment…perfect!!
I like the settee. Hugs
What a difference window treatments can make! Our new plantation shutters arrive in a few weeks and I can’t wait!!
Yes, what gray did you use? I’m about to go with BM Pale Oak for the living room…
Oh, they’re lovely! The sitting area looks like just the perfect place to curl up with a book- all that light looks just fantastic!
Rene and Libby: The paint is Benjamin Moore Bunny Gray. It looks gray in the morning, but slightly light blue in the afternoon.
Looks great! Loving the soothing colours. A happy room.

They’re sooooo nice. I’m very jealous! haha
Gorgeous Aly! They just really tie the room together!
I love the shades. I currently have 2″ wht faux wood and planning to go to a roller shade. I’m tired of dusting.
Looks great! I’m so jealous of all the natural light that floods your master bedroom. I have 2 tiny windows and in the middle of winter in NE, I never want to get up in the morning.
Love them! What a difference they make in the space.

love the romans, just gorgeous. the settee is quite amazing too.
Perfect! Black out blinds are so key.
PS how are you decorating already and not still jet-lagged??

Hi Ally! Your visit was a nice surprise…so happy you stopped by!
I know what a huge decision window treatments are…so Congratulations, they look great! We’re still living in a fishbowl five months after moving into our new house. Still not sure which direction to go…Anthro has some curtains that are appealing to me (as well as wallpaper!). Luckily, we live on a very wooded plot of land (a Seattle bonus).
Can’t wait to see the rest of your room.

They look perfect – simple so they don’t detract at all from your lovely windows… worth all the deliberating! Ann x
I love your home.
The blinds look great.
I love your settee! I can’t wait to see what you master bedroom looks like after you’re done. Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving.

they look great. thumbs up for blackout lining..and your reading nook looks so cute.
The reading nook in my mbr is lacking a comfy settee like this one. cant wait to see which you you go with the reupholstering.
Very nice Ally. The first pic brings so much serenity. Love the shade of grey (to me looks blue) you’ve chosen for the walls together with the sun light is really pretty. Right blinds in my opinion.
wonderful, ally!
beautiful – classy and elegant!
How funny! I just did the same thing in our master bedroom–same colors, too. Great minds… I am still considering linen drapes,too…when I can fit it into the budget.
As always, it looks gorgeous. Your master bedroom looks huge! x
escapade: I’m sooooo jetlagged – walking around like a zombie over here!
Ann: Thanks for saying that. It makes me feel so much better (and less like a crazy person)!
Mary Ann: Great minds is right! Linen drapes are next!
Thanks for all the nice feedback, everyone!
Looks great. Cannot wait to see the rest of the space…

Ally, it looks fantastic! Simple and classic. That reading area is enviable. A glass of wine and a good book–I might never leave.
I love the colour, the settee, the blinds and also that they are also function as black outs. Can’t wait to see more!
Looks fabulous!! I want to curl up on that couch and read magazines right this minute!
They look fab…and I love the wall colour too….xv
Looks like a beautiful tranquil bedroom.
lovely! love their simplicity! susan
They look fantastic! Were they custom? I am trying to do simple white blackout shades for a client, but not spend too much money!
Alissa: Yes, they were custom made. I think it’s worth the investment if you can fit it in their budget somehow.
Looking good Ally!!! So calm and peaceful!
Hooray, Ally!!! These look perfect. Definitely worth the year thinking about it, don’t you think? You did GOOD!
Hooray for well dressed windows! I’m still waiting on mine…and feeling like a fool for paying so much. Hope I love ‘em!
