Master Bedroom

People here thought that we would love our American Flag room. How fitting, we were from America. We would appreciate a bit of Old Glory over our heads when we slept.
Although the person who painted this ceiling did a wonderful job and I can just imagine the neck and shoulder pain that went with the project, we just couldn't do it.

Not only was the flag on the ceiling, but all the trim, baseboard included, was red and the blinds behind the sheers were navy blue. Very Patriotic! This is how we found the room when we arrived.

After

Ken painted the ceiling and the trim Swiss Coffee and we left the wall color a light taupe.

Some of you have heard the story about the Bed, but here it is again in a nut shell. It is always good to hear and remember God's Blessing and how He really does care about the little things in life.

After summer we drove to the boarder to get our temporary work permits and take care of some things, one of which was to buy a bed. We did some switching around with beds when we moved, as the double mattress that was Lisa's (which was mine when I was a teenager), landed in the dumpster before we left Palomar. The queen that was ours went into Lisa's/Guest room and we finally have a bedroom big enough for a king size bed. So the shopping began. We had kept some $ aside for just this purpose and in talking to the Chairman of the Board and chatting about what we were needing and wanting to do while in Windsor and Detroit, he said he knew a guy who owned a mattress store. He would give us a deal. Great! We headed over there the next day and chose our mattress. The owner said "You will need sheets and a mattress cover. Do you need pillows? OK." We were quickly trying to calculate as he was adding items to our list. We hadn't heard what kind of a deal he was going to give us, so it was a little unsettling. Well, to make a long story short, we walked out of there with out paying a dollar (or loony, if you will). It was his way of supporting our new Ministry and GBCC. It was such a blessing. Anyone who has gone to buy a mattress lately, knows just how big of a blessing it really was. it was delivered about a week later!

The reason we were looking to buy a king size bed, was the headboard that we had been keeping safe for all those years at Palomar, was built by my Dad. When we built our home in Nevada City, we had to cut down some beautiful Oak trees in order to build the house. Ken and Dad found a mill there in Grass Valley and Dad took some of the lumber home and built this beautiful headboard.

We still have to add the fininshing touches to the room, but we are happy with it. Oak is not really "in" right now, so we are having a little trouble finding things to go with what we have.

I am open to ideas.
