"Hi, I'm Ann Myrick, and today I'm going to show you how to decorate a master bedroom. Do you have the furniture or do we need to buy the furniture? We need to think about are we going to, do we have pieces we're going to use. If not, are we going to buy a, a total new room of furniture? Or what pieces are we going to use? What you want to do, with pen and paper, you want to come in to your bedroom and I would always take my measurement with me. So write down the measurement of the room, look at the room, look at, think about the spacing of the room where you want the bed. Do you need a side table, do you want two side tables? Do you want a comfortable chair? Do you need an armoire? Do you need a chest? Do you need a tall chest or a chest to put a television on? Just think through what all is going to go in to this room. Now I like buy, I like the process of buying. I don't like to go any buy everything because I don't like sets of furniture. Sets of furniture is a little dated, so I like going to different sources and buying different textures and different materials. First thing, if you're going to buy, first thing I would say is we need to deal with the bed. What kind of bed do we want, do we have the bed that we're going to use or do we, are we going to buy a new bed? So, let's think about the bed, decide what style you like. Do you like classic? Do you like traditional? Think about the bed, buy the bed, put in the room. Once, sometimes the bed will just take over the room, so you really need to do the process of buying the bed, decide if it's a queen, decide if it's a king, put the bed in. And then do you want a side table, or do you want a side table and something else or a chair? In this room, the bed is in the middle of the floor. I don't like a lot of furniture in a master bedroom. And so, but you will see that instead of having everything a like, this is very eclectic, and nearly everything is different, or everything is different. I have pine mixed with a darker wood, mixed with glass and metal, and just, it's just a whole eclectic look. So, look at what you need, don't over buy, and don't over pack your room, and just have fun with it. And move things around until it really gets to the place that you, it really works for you. This is Ann Myrick, and that is how to decorate a master bedroom."
