After careful consideration, Chris and I have decided to move the bedroom into the art room. There are several reasons for this change:
1) It is a bigger room. This means we will be able to get a bigger bed, which would not be possible in our current room.
2) We very rarely make any art in the art room. It's basically just a big storage closet right now, and that's a silly waste of space.
3) The reason we didn't use it as our bedroom in the first place was the squeaky floor - which isn't an issue anymore!

We've also decided that the front room (our current bedroom) will be Chris's office. This way he can move his giant eyesore of a desk out of the living room and give us more space downstairs. So I get a less cluttered living room, and he gets a room all to himself. It's a win-win situation for everyone!

So let's talk about the new bedroom. Our theme is sort of difficult to describe. Ever since my aunt Pam gave me this fabric a few years back, I have wanted to create my bedroom around it. But we also want to keep with the Explorer aspect of steampunk, especially since it will be right next to our map-centric bathroom. So I figured that the easiest way to go about this would be to focus on the Victorian-era British occupation of India. Rather specific, I know. But I can picture it so very clearly in my head. I want dark wood, colorful walls, lots of sheer draperies, and tons of throw pillows. I've started a
Pinterest inspiration board, so have a look at that to get a better feel for what I mean.
