Master Bedroom by Lani

I returned to living solo in May 2019 (see December 30, 2019 entry).

Start: November 2019

My former roommate occupied the master bedroom. It remained empty for 6 months. I began furnishing the room shortly after Thanksgiving. By President's Day Weekend in 2 weeks, it should be finished.

I'd spend hours on end obsessing with intricate, meticulous details on what I wanted for the room.

• Curtains (shower and windows) must have grommet tops. I hate curtain rings. Window curtains have to be blackout style. I want the option to sleep in weekends without sun in my face.
• NO innerspring mattress or mattress that requires a foundation frame.
• Bedding that is gender neutral with warm, subtle, muted colors that won't clash with the curtains already in the room. NO bed skirt, no more than two pillow shams. NO floral, paisley, plaid or checkered patterns.
• Light blocking shade for the skylight in the vanity between the bathroom and bedroom. This, by far, took the longest to find the right size. 

Here's the end result:

Finish: February 2020

Once I installed the shade for the skylight, I spent this past weekend sleeping in the room. It feels tranquil, spacious yet cozy.

Family will stay in the room at the start of the President's Day weekend.

There's still a few final furnishings I'd like to put in. I really like how it's all turned out. So much so that I'll eventually move into the room full time.

Black Friday Delivery Issues

Update on my big ticket Black Friday purchases. I am 0 for 2.

Big ticket item 1: Dining table from Hoot Judkins. Got delivered yesterday. Looks great. I can start using it.
Issue: gear that expands the table is broken. They didn't give me a date as to when they'll come back to fix it. My guess it won't be until after the holidays.

Big ticket item 2: Floyd queen platform bed. Finally pulled it out of the box this past week. I hoped with Ronnie helping out with home repairs yesterday that he could help me assemble the bed. I noticed one of the boxes I got was labeled "headboard".

I didn't order a headboard.

Issue: Steel legs and straps that were supposed to come in a separate box didn't come in. The above picture of the headboard along with 2 other photos of the shipment were emailed to Floyd Home Customer Service yesterday.

Hopefully this will be an afterthought by the time family comes for President's Day weekend.
