~our master bedroom~{and a surprise giveaway}

Blog Posts

Not sure why this room had been neglected for so long.
I guess because I was stuck. I knew what I wanted, so I thought….

One day I got up the nerve to email Holly Mathis.
I thought if anyone could help me, it would be her. And yep, she rocked it.
She not only helped, but she answered my many text messages and late night emails very promptly,
and kindly I might add.

Here is what I started with. Not horrible, but not great.
{click on any photos to enlarge}

The color was Fossil Beute by Ralph Lauren and it was a suede look. The nightstands were too small and while the chandelier was ok, it didn’t really fit the space.

Would you like to see the after?

I thought today I would just show photos and tomorrow I will follow up with details.

A huge thank you to Christine, the owner at Trimood Photography for taking these photos!

And, how would one of you like that sign I have above my bed? The owner and artist at Pink Marmalade Designs has offered one of them to one of you lucky My Sweet Savannah Readers! All of their signs are handmade with love right here in the USA!

Leave me a comment on this post and you’ll be entered! I will announce the winner back here on Friday along with the custom pet portrait winner from yesterday’s giveaway!
I hope you enjoyed the new and improved master bedroom!
xoxo

      It's beautiful! Can you post on what it's like to work with a designer? Did she visit in person? Do you give a budget? Do you receive recommendations of actual items on the market to use in your space? I've thought about doing this before, but I'm not sure how the process works.

      Hi everyone!!!
      I'm so excited sharing this testimony here about how I got my ex husband back after a long time break up that almost led to a divorce all thanks to Dr Ahmed for his wonderful help. Am a woman who love and cherish my husband more than any other thing you can imagine on earth. My husband was so lovely and caring after 3 years of marriage he was seriously ill and the doctor confirm and said he has a kidney infection that he needed a kidney donor, that was how I start searching for who can help, doctor has given me a periodic hour that he will live just 24 hours left, that was how I ask the doctor if I can be of help to my husband that was how he carried out the text, the confirming was successful, I was now having this taught that since 3 years now we got married I have not be able to get pregnant, can I ever get pregnant again? That was the question I ask the doctor, he never answer his response was did you want to lost your husband? I immediately reply no I can't afford to lose him. After the operation my husband came back to live and was healthy I was also ok with the instruction given to me by the doctor, after 3 months my husband came home with another lady telling me, that is our new wife that will give us kids and take care for us, that was how I was confused and started crying all day, that was how my husband ran away with his new wife cleanable. Since then I was confuse don't know what to do that was how I went back to the doctor and tell him everything, he told me that, this is not just ordinary, it must be a spiritual problem that was how he gave me this Email: Ahmedutimate@gmail.com that I should tell he all my problem that he can help, that was how I contacted he and I do as instructed. After 22 hours and I have done what he ask me to do, my husband start searching for me and went back to the doctor, that was how he came back to me, he also told me not to worry that I will get pregnant, this month making it ten Months I contacted he, and am now having a baby of nine months and 2 weeks old all thanks to Dr Ahmed for his help that is why I have put it as a must for me to spread the news about Dr Ahmed is a place to resolve marriage/relationship problems? Contact: E-mail: Ahmedutimate@gmail.com… Call him or what’s-app: +2348160153829 stay bless
