Remember a little while ago (*ahem* July) I asked for opinions on removing the curtain as a divider between the bedroom and the living room? I simply love getting opinions on the blog, but in this case I listened but then got busy and didn't do anything about it. Oops. Well I finally got around to seeing for myself whether or not I prefer the room sans- curtain. Let me know your opinion on THIS!
Before:
After:
Sorry for the awkward before and after. Basically it is now the season of no natural light so I used an old before picture. And then I had to use flash in the new photo so my floors are fantastically neon. haha! Also, ignore the curtain hooks still in the ceiling :P
Anyway, even though I will appreciate your opinion, I will end the suspense here- I LOVE IT. Maybe it doesn't convey in the photo, but the place looks so much bigger without the curtain. However now I feel my bed is all "hello there! I am a bed in the living room!" so it needs something.
Ideas? Footboard maybe or something?
I'm thinking getting one of those room divider stand things but have the material something see-through, or at least light permeates. It'll look more structural and solid, but still let the air in.

oh that is pretty!
DeleteWhat about putting a bookcase at the foot of your bed? Added storage, plus a visual break from the livingroom to bedroom.
ReplyDeleteIts a good suggestion, but I dont really need more storage and would just add bulk
DeleteI like it better with the curtain. I dont really have any other suggestions though ha.
ReplyDeleteIts kind of hard to tell in photos, but before the curtain hung a foot in front of the bed, like to the edge of the wall there. Now that it's gone its like my living grew a foot.
DeleteI moved the coffee table/ottoman to that new space because the end of the bed isnt attractive. haha
