Hello Everyone!
It's my very first time participating in
Met Monday at Between Naps On The Porch.
Pay this blog a visit and you are in for a treat.
A few weeks ago I showed you our bedroom. I have made a few subtle changes since then.
Here is the before photo from my previous post.
They can be enlarged when clicked.
Here is the after photo with new draperies done in chocolate brown and aqua blue.
A runner for the dresser adds softness to the dark wood.
The drapes I bought at Bed Bath & Beyond.They are from the "Addison" collection.
I added the tassels in the same colors.I think I could put a tassels anywhere!
Here is a closeup of the scroll pattern.
A far off view as well.
The new runner I found at Ross.I think it ties all the blues together.
Look at my newest "M" frame from Kristen!She is wonderful at custom making any style.
The ivory box is also from Ross.
I thought of Vanna when I spotted it.
I freshened up the bed with pillows.
I thought I would share them.
The newest ones have an ivory
brocade with a few blue touches.
I also found them at Ross.
I wanted to give you an update on our move...
Well...
at this time it does not look like we will be moving!
But...
one huge drawback to this is that my
husband will have to serve a year in Iraq.
Leaving me...alone...Yikes!
I know he's in the USMC and it's part
of his job but it will still be really hard.
We don't know any exact details as of yet.
Thank you for all of your words of encouragment.
Your friendship means so much to me.
Have a wonderful week!

Melissa, the drapes are so stunning in this room. And I love tassels also. You are right you can hang them just about anywhere.
I runner really sets the dresser off. Those pillows are awesome.
The little frame that Kristen made is so cute.
Melissa, I am sorry that your dh has to go to Iraq. My son-in-law is there for two years this.. time. I know it can be lonely. Please.. thank him for serving our country. I am grateful to you as a wife of a military man.
Your bedroom is so.. beautiful!
Hugs, Terrie
Hi Terrie!
Where are you friend?
I noticed your blog was missing and I'm so happy you are still visiting us.
If it's your shoulder I do hope you get better very soon.
Thank you for kind words and understanding.
I'll pray for your nephew as well.
Melissa - love the new curtains and pillows, too. Your blue bedroom really inspires me. Sorry to hear the orders didn't come thru. My son will be going back to Afghanistan in about a year. (3d tour) So we can cry and commiserate together. ((hugs)) The good news is that you don't have to sell your beautiful home you have worked so hard on. ttyl, Barb
Melissa,
I am so sorry to hear that your hubby has to go to Iraq. Let me thank you and him for your sacrifices. You will both be in my thoughts and prayers.
I love your makeover. The drapes are so smashing! Thanks for mentioning Kristen; I just visited her blog and I can tell that I will be adding her to my blog roll! She makes great stuff and I will be making a purchase also. It helps that I am a "B" (maiden name was "M" like your name is!) so I can easily visualize how things will look from her samples.
Thanks for sharing :) Great job!
What a fabulous drapery, Melissa! I love the colors and the pattern and I am in love with the long blue pillow on the bed. The runner is a nice touch!...Christine
Hi Melissa! Oh, I love what you've done to your bedroom. The drapes are so pretty - I love that icy blue color. The runner looks great too! Now I love my tassels and what a pretty one for your tiebacks! You have such pretty things.
Oh, I love all those luxurious pillows.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Beautiful-just beautiful!! Love your drapes, tassels, dresser-stunning!!! Love those pillows too We will look for you again when the linky fun starts on Tuesday! We are so glad you joined in...there is lots of inspiration here!! Love your lighting post too!
blessings,
kari & kijsa
Melissa, I love the drapes. You know that I love any drapes that use two different fabrics and yours are just stunning. The extra touches with the runner, frame, little box and pillows are also just gorgeous. You always have such a wonderful eye for detail. I am so sorry to hear that your DH will have to go to Iraq. I know that will be a very stressful time for you. I will keep you both in my prayers. Hugs, Marty
Absolutely beautiful Melissa! It just looks so elegant and serene.
Oh Melissa, I don't even know what to say. I'm sure it is difficult to hear he will need to go to Iraq. I'll be thinking of you both.
Your makeover looks great, I really love those curtains. They are gorgeous!
~Michelle
Melissa, I am not surprised by your transformation because it's YOU! I just have to tell you how pretty your room is. You are showing us that draperies don't have to be custom to be lovely and really transform a room. I also love your dresser runner and pillows...oh, lala!
You have probably read where I want to do our guest room in blue/brown. I'm going to take a peek at BB&B for those draperies. Lovely.
I too am so sorry your husband has to leave for Iraq for a year. I know you must be dreading that but are also an understanding wife. Our family (but not my dh) has had it's share of Iraq as well.
We will certainly be here for you to try and keep you cheered up in your husband's absence.
Donna
Melissa, I failed to say that I'm glad you do not have to move from that beautiful home. On the other hand, I hate that your hubby has to go. I sure hope he knows how much we appreciate his service to our country!
Hi Melissa!
I just love the combination of brown and blue, particularly in your drapes. What a statement they make!
I can't imagine what it will be like for you to send your hubby off to Iraq for a year-long tour of duty. Just know that I will be praying for you both. I so appreciate what your husband does to ensure our freedom...GOD BLESS HIM!
Oh Melissa, you have made your home so beautiful. And all those pillows look like a dreamy statement. I will keep you and your wonderful hubby in my prayers. Please tell him thank you again for preserving our freedom. I don't take it for granted.
Hugs,
Chris
Melissa, I absolutely love your new drapes in your bedroom. You did a good job drawing the colors together.
I just put those two colors together in my living room. I like them a lot.
Hey Melissa, your new drapes are so pretty & elegant. The transition scroll piece between the blue & brown is so pretty & brings the two pieces of fabric together so nicely. The tassels are just the icing on the cake!! The pillows are very pretty, don’t you just love Ross!!
Kristen does such a wonderful job on the frames, and I love that fleur-di-lis on it! Pretty, pretty..
Melissa, my thoughts and prayers will be with you and your husband during this uncertain time. Hopefully, everything will work out in your favor.
Nicole
Melissa - Your bedroom looks like both a beautiful and a restful place. Your new curtains are really pretty. They look custom made, not like BB&B.
I am grateful for men like your husband who serve their country.
Melissa,
It's beautiful! Love the drapes & the dresser runner. The new look really changed the whole feel of the room.
I'm so sorry to hear hubby will have to leave.
Bunches of great big hugs! ☺♥☺
Diane
Hi Melissa....thank you for stopping by and visiting my blog. I have become a bit of a ghost lately. I just love the changes in your room, and the box and pillows...well everything..is just beautiful. I'm glad to hear you don;t have to go thru the work of moving. But my heart just saddens hearing that word Iraq. Maybe some how things will change and DH will be ale to stay home. I will keep you and yours deep in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi Melissa
I hope you had a great weekend! When you get a chance. stop by http://asoutherndaydreamerextras.blogspot.com/ (my blog list page) and scroll down to the bottom of the page..... I have left something for you!
Thanks
Susan
PS Comments are turned off on that page.... just send me a reply letting me know you got it!
I love the runner on your dresser! Also love the new drapes! Your bedroom is very elegant!
the drapes and runner make your room much more elegant and peaceful looking.
I'll surely keep you and your husband in my prayers, I cannot imagine how you must be feeling--him also.
Simply lovely my dear, looks warm and inviting!!Sorry to hear about you dh having to go to Iraq...take good care, talk soon Chrissy
This is so pretty Melissa. Those colors are just calling to me. This room just has it all together!
Your room looks wonderful! I had looked at those drapes and came close to getting them for our room.
May God bless all in the military, both those who serve and those at home who wait.
Hi Melissa,
First I want you to know that I will be praying for you and your husband that this time of uncertainty will bring you renewed strength and hope. And please tell your husband that me and my family are so appreciative of his service to our country.
Now, on to your beautiful room! I love brown and blue together, expecially in a bedroom - so dreamy! I just went to Ross last night and they recently restocked all of their shelves!! Yippeee! I came home with lots of goodies :)) Take care! Kim
You've done a fabulous job. Love the blue and brown combo.
Hi Melissa, The dresser is so pretty with the runner (and frame:)
I really like this blue! It's so soothing and elegant. You might remember me posting Sherry's house in Dallas. She used alot of this color, she saw your "M" frame and wants a "V".
Love the box and pillows too!
So sorry about hubby going to Iraq! Man....that is really tough. Just know I'm praying for you, let me know when you get the details. Kristen
Oh Melissa,you have made me totally fall in love with the blue and brown combo,I feel like redoing my whole room now.You should be in the designing business,you have so much talent for putting it all together!
((((hugs))) Cyndi
The drapes really make a difference. And I love tassels! Yours are gorgeous!
Beautiful drapes! I'm tempted to show my Master... Happy Met Monday!
You totally inspire me lady! Beautiful MM post! I loved you Blue bedroom before, but the after shot photo is lovely as well! The pillows are awesome!! Can you move to Dallas and help me decorate!?!?!?!?
Have a great weekend ahead!
Melissa,
It is late, and I just finished my post, but I wanted to say hi. I love your style, we have similar taste! Your blue drapery is very pretty. My favorite place to find "stuff" is Home Goods.
Also I lived in Dubai for 5 years and was there on 9/11. Dubai is safe and fun. Many of our military take their breaks there. You might consider a trip sometime, if your husband is in Iraq for a year. I will be posting my two villas at some point, they were amazing. Well it is past my bedtime so I will say goodnight. wishing you well. Cathy
First off Melissa give a BIG HUGE THANK YOU to your honey for his service to our wonderfu life of Freedom we have and Girl I know you will have a big void in your heart with him gone..its so hard when your best friend and soulmate is away from you...we are all here in blogland for you sweet M...
I love your drapes did you have them made?? and all your new pillows...your home is beautiful you can tell it was put toghter with love...prays for your honey girl and for you..hugs and smiles Gloria
Melissa...your drapes are gorgeous! I'm with you on the tassels...I hang on everything that isn't moving. :-) Your bedroom is beautiful! I love your new M frame! I am sorry to hear your DH is going to Iraq...I hope the time passes quickly for both of you! So appreciate his & your service to our great country! Love to you,
Susan
Melissa,
Beautiful bedroom and draperies, I love that shade of blue. The pillows you added are so lovely. I am sorry your hubby has to leave you, I know that must be tough to be a military wife. Cindy
Beautiful. You are so creative:)
Wib.
Hi sweet Melissa...I'm reading of your husband's probable deployment with a sad heart...your names will be spoken in my prayers from this day forward.
Your bedroom drapes look so rich & the colors are delicious! I love the way you decorate! ;-) Bo
Beautiful Met Monday post, Melissa. Your room is gorgeous!
Your bedroom is beautiful!! It is sad that your hubby will be away for so long, what would we do without the USMC, but you will still have your blog friends around to keep you company cyberly(dont think that is a word, but you get the idea, lol)!
Wow, your bedroom is absolutely gorgeous...you have done a wonderful job!
Sorry to hear your husband will be away for such a length of time...please tell him thanks for serving our country.
Blessings,
Michelle
Hi Melissa, Happy Met Monday, I love your new drapes they look stunning and all your pillows. I have been across the pond for the last month with the family and have not had much time for blogging and have missed so much.
I am sorry to hear about your hubby going to Iraq and that you will be apart, that's hard I know. take care, Kathy.
Melissa, That is blue and brown done RIGHT! It is gorgeous!!!!! I always love seeing your home! nancy
Oh Melissa,I just smiled when I found out you wouldn't have to leave this lovely home.But it quickly turned upside down when I found out your sweet hubby would have to go fight this darn war.
I am so sorry.And so sorry he will have to leave you alone.It's just not fair....Ann
Mornin' Dearheart...
Ohhhh noooo!!! Oh honey, I'm so sorry to hear about your honey having to go to Iraq...my heart just goes out to the both of you!!! When does he have to go or do you know that yet? I'm so thankful to him and you for all of the sacrafices that you make to keep us all safe...of course, you both will always be in my prayers, Sweetie!!! So will you stay put in your home till he returns or is there still a move in the plans? Sure wished I were closer, I'd keep you company! But I know it's not the same!
Well Darlin'...I love your Met Monday changes!!! Okay, you aren't going to believe this but I considered those exact same drapes when I was doing my master bedroom! Hehe!!! I just love the blue and brown and that embroidered scroll band on the drapes...they are soooo pretty and just perfect for your master bedroom! Love your new dresser scarf too...I checked all of your photos out (enlarging them all...hehe!) Your new brocade pillows are fab!!! You know that they would be so pretty on my bed too! hehe!!!
Okay, just have to say something about your new picture that Kristen made for you...it's gorgeous!!! The aqua and silver are stunning together and Girl, I see that pretty little sparkly fleur de lis on the ribbon...PERFECT!!! Your home is sooooo beautiful!!!
Love ya Sweetie,
Chari
PS...I loved your post but sure hated hearing the news about your honey going to Iraq...gosh darnit!!!
I love the initial frame and the colors are gorgeous. Did you make the bow yourself. I always wanted to learn to make those big fluffy bows like that I never learned.
Melissa, this transformation is so gorgeous. I love those new draperies, and your pillows look fabulous! I'm so sorry that your husband will have to go to Iraq. Do you know when he'll leave? I hope it is okay that I'm putting both of you on my prayer list. laurie
Lovely as always..
I love chocolate and aqua together. I hope to use that combo someday! I also love lots of pillows, and yours are all gorgeous of course!
I'm so sorry about your husband. I know it will be hard for both of you to be apart. We will all be with you here in blogland though!
Your house is so lush and elegant! I'd feel like a queen in there!
Hi Melissa! Wow! it took me forever to get in here to comment! Thank you so much for coming by my blog! Your bedroom redo is gorgeous! I love that color combo! In fact your whole house is beautiful! Love the "M" Kristen made for you! I will be praying for you and your husband! God Bless you today! Lauralu :)
Melissa, your bedroom is beautiful. I love the chocolate and blue - so classy! And your pillows and other touches are just perfect. I have been visiting you for some time, but just realized I wasn't a follower...now I am : )
Linda...p.s. Would you thank your husband for his service and tell him how much he is appreciated. Without our strong militray, we are nothing. God bless him!!
Hey you! I just want to come live with you more and more everytime I see shots of things in your home! Make sure to stop by tommorrow as Kristen is sponsoring a giveaway of some frames at Fort Thompson. You will want to register!
Also, I am still in the process of posting it now, but there will soon be an award at my blog for you!
Love and Prayers,
Tim
Hi Melissa,
The drapes and the runner look so nice in your bedroom. I like the color combo.
I'm so sorry your hubby will be away. Please thank him for serving. I hope you have some family close by. That may make things a bit easier.
Melissa, Your drapes are gorgeous! You are one amazing decorator!
My MIL is a free-lance court reporter and was in Jacksonville last week doing a depostion. She called me on the road devastated because they had closed the pottery down! I bet ya'll miss it! She sure does! :(
So sorry that your husband will be going to Iraq! My thoughts and prayers are with you both! ~hugs, Rhonda :)

Melissa, I love the drapes in your room and all of the pretty pillows. You have such a lovely home, and this bedroom just glows! And I like your new runner for your dresser. You're right, it does soften the dark wood some.
Happy Pillow Parade Tuesday... loved seeing all of your pretty ones!
XO,
Sheila :-)
I love those drapes! Your room is very serene! Love a bedroom with cool colors.
I have award for you:)
Wib.
Hi Melissa, Thanks for letting me know about your move. You're right - that's good & bad news. I thought Barack was going to bring all the troops home ASAP (isn't that what he promised?), so maybe he won't have to be over there a full year. Love the changes you made to the room (runner, curtains & pillows). They look great, and also the frame Kristen made. I haven't been on blogger much since last week, so thanks for letting me know!
I love everything you did in your pretty bedroom...It looks just perfect....
Cute bedroom Melissa! Those drapes are gorgeous!!!
Everything looks wonderful. I love that "m"!!
XOXOO
Jen
Hey Melissa - love the new drapes and pillows that you've added to your room.
I'm so glad you're not going to have to move, but so sorry to hear DH will have to go off! I'll be thinking of you - and you'll have us!!
Thanks for the b-day wishes for Meghan!!
Kristen did my blog for me and I love it!!
Pretty!
So nice to stop by for the first time ;-)
Thanks for sharing your lovely treasures.
Smiles,
kayellen
Hi Melissa :)
Beautiful changes! I love the new draperies especially.
I'm so glad you don't have to move, but so sorry he'll be gone all that time. I can only imagine how hard it will be on both of you. If you need an ear, I'm here for you.
(((hugs)))
rue
WOW ~ what a gorgeous home you've created! The rich colors, sumptuous fabrics and eXquisite teXtures are a feast for the eyes.
We are deeply grateful for your family's service to our country. May you be blessed and protected!
My dear sweet Melissa, you are so kind to check up on me and yes I have been under the weather and my son too, hospitalized at one point. We are both doing so much better now, and I thank our dear precious Lord for that.. but I am reading here on your comments that your dear precious hubby is going to Irag... I am so proud of him and you but my heart is aching too. I am praying and I will not stop and what a reminder that we should all be praying everyday for our dear servicemen and women. God Bless you both sweetheart.. Hugs, Cindy
I love your new colors. My best friend from highschool's husband is in Iraq right now, I know it must be hard, I really appreciate people like your husband that defend our country!!!
Hi Melissa~
Thanks for stopping by...your bedroom refresh is lovely...I just love that blue and brown together!
I am sorry to hear your sweetie is going to Iraq. I will keep you both in our prayers...hopefully things will change in the next few months and he'll be able to come home sooner...you just never know!
My son in law will be home next week from his last 7 months over there...these last few days are the longest for them both!
If there is anything I can do...please don't hesitate to let me know...and, when I come down to visit my daughter, I'll let you know...maybe we can meet for lunch or dinner. I'd like that!
;-D

I hate to hear that your hubby will be leaving for Iraq for a year. Even though you know it's part of the job, it's sad for him to go. Lots of letters and care packages in the works!!!
I love your bedroom. In fact, your whole house is just gorgeous. You do such a great job of decorating it.
Ginger
Glad you don't have to move but yuck on hubs having to leave!
Your draperies are beautiful
Melissa,
Just stopping by to say "you're very welcome" for my thoughts and prayers. Hope that makes sense! That what I love so much about blogging. You have the opportunity to reach out to another person in friendship and offer your support, warm thougts, whatever the case may be. Just know that I meant what I wrote...I will be praying diligently for your husband's safe return! God Bless him and God Bless our great country!
Thanks so much for the kind comments. I love coming to visit you, it's so peaceful to eye and ear! Your home is beautiful and I need to get busy finishing decorating ours. We built 4 years ago and I'm still dragging my feet on drapes!
Well I'm certainly excited to inspire YOU ~~ the lady who inspires 100's on a regular basis!
Did you ever hear from Terri? I'm certainly missing her and her blog!!!
Hi Melissa,
I was so sorry to read about your husband's next year in Iraq. Will this be the first time you will be alone for such a length of time ? I am so glad you have your computer and all your friends here to lean on and give you support. I hope you have family nearby.
It's nice you have so many interests and shopping is a part of it yes, yes! You bedroom is a picture out of a magazine. Beautiful drapes, runner and great colors. I will keep you and your husband in my thoughts and prayers.
Hey Melissa!
I just came back over to look at your MM and Pillow Parade....I missed the most important part of your post here about your hubby. Wow! I will definitely be praying for you and hubby as you prepare for this new phase of life. I just couldn't imagine. Keep us posted on how and what to pray for when you need to. You can always email if you need as well. My email address is: jtsa2@yahoo.com
Take care and God bless you and hubby every step of the way! I also thank your husband for serving our great country!
Melissa- We love you- and your blog!! Thank you so much for your sweet comment about the M platter- (Perfect just for you!! Teehee- It is promised already- but I paint each one to order!!) The platter is a fabulous size- 18" across in diameter and 3" deep. I hope it will fit perfectly..it looks like it belongs in your home from your beautiful side bar pictures!!
Thanks so much!!

kari & kijsa
Hi Melissa! I love your new drapes...just perfect! The colors are so rich! Your runner and pillows are stunning. You have such a beautiful home!!! Hope you have a great weekend...Debbie
Melissa, I have been wanting to do my bedroom in these colors. You have inspired me even more. I am going to start keeping my eyes open for the elements to put it together. You did a beautiful job. I may seek your advice.
Thanks for the warm welcome back.
Hugs, Terrie
Iraq...I agree, yikes! Well, the good side of that is you don't have to move away from your beautiful home. Everything is lovely in today's post...the draperies, the frame, and the whole room!

100 comments that is a lot! I too love your new curtians, the scroll is beautiful! I love the runner, I would have thought you bought them together. I have a box similar. I designed a room around it once. After seeing yours,It is time to go and find it!
I couldn't see the photo's of the pillows, probably a problem with my computer, but I did enjoy your pictures on the side bar.
you sweetie!!! Thank you so much.
Yes, you can let me know. I would love to have you join me for my Tea Party on my Birthday. All you have to do is have it posted anytime or day before April 5th and I will come over and get your post link and add Your Tea Party to Mine. I will be having mine April 5th so it will be late afternoon before I start linking everyone to my post. Can't wait to see your Tea Party, and it means a lot to me for you to join me on this day.
I was so involved looking at your wonderful curtians and pillows, I did not say, I am thinking of you and your Hubby, I know this is hard to have him go to Iraq. May God keep him and Bless you both through this time.
PS: Thanks for saying I look young. My pictures I have on my site were taken this year. So it is me. My 5 year old grandson told me this week, Granna I wish you were not old, then you could run fast with and get dressed fast. He was wanting me to go and look at something FAST! LOL I went out in the yard yesterday, he came over to me, Granna why are you outside, you are suppose to be in the house. I guess he thinks my illness, and being old is the same. lol Thinking of you and looking forward to seeing your Tea.
Awesome drapes Melissa.. Chocolate Brown and Aqua Blue Are My Absolute Favorite New Colors!

Hi Melissa
I was surprised by your move update! I'm sure that it won't be easy, but I know that you and your husband will deal with the separation with grace, and dedication to our country's service.
God bless you both, and all the brave men and women and the families of our armed forces.
Hugs, Pat
