Great Bed Shuffle

So we have an old house and with an old house comes lots of giant windows. For the most part I love the big windows in our house, but in our master bedroom we have two walls of windows, a fireplace and wardrobe on another wall

and a closet on another wall

so our bed was pushed into the corner as seen below

We just felt like we were not utilizing the space to its fullest potential so John and I started moving the bed around to see if anything worked.

First we tried putting the bed catty cornered in the same corner. This is what it looked like:

This was slightly better but we didn't have room for side tables and it just didn't feel right. So next we moved the bed in front of one of the window walls. The windows are not centered on the wall, but we made the bed centered.

We also opened the wardrobe door (seen on the right of the pic above) to make sure we still had room to open and close it. We liked this location the best but it looked weird not being centered  under the windows. To solve this we bought some curtain centered the curtains on the wall, so it looks like the windows are centered. A more detailed post on the curtain wall be follow shortly. This is how it came out:

I wish I had a better picture but I love it! The new layout is much more functional and I love the curtain wall. In addition, it also solved my DIY Sunburst Mirror problem. Before the mirror did not fit properly over the bed as I had imagined as seen below

 

Now that the mirror gets to hang over the blanket chest and looks great there.

Overall, we love the new setup, however the first night sleeping in the new spot, we froze because the vent is now directly above our bed. Luckily, John made a diffuser of sorts that directed the air away from us.
