The master bedroom!

The final stop on the trip through the upstairs is the master bedroom. This sunny room looks out over the street and our lovely sycamore tree. The closet is surprisingly big (especially for a house in Haddonfield) and we should have plenty of room for our furniture.


The room has three windows which let in a lot of sunlight. The previous owner has very nice window treatments custom made for these windows. Unfortunately, they were the same design as the floral wallpaper that covered the whole room... bummer for us. We thought about reupholstering them, but it will be easier just to get new ones when the time comes.




Step one (like in the rest of the house) was to get the wallpaper off. Once it came down, we found some pretty cool stuff underneath! This is a signature from the person who put the walls up... in 1927!


We were kinda bummed to be painting over it, since it is really a piece of history in this home. Its hard to imagine that these walls have been up for almost a century. Also, under the wallpaper was some more "signage" - this time from 1990 when the wallpaper went up. My favorite part is the reference to Total Recall as a movie of the year. Gotta love Arnold...




Just a few cracks are showing, but other than that, the walls were in pretty decent shape, which was impressive to say the least!



Its always hard to download my new pictures during the week, but as soon as I have time, I will post some more pictures from this past weekend!
