Master Bedroom Musts
Photos: Liz Donnelly

Soft seating: I think every bedroom needs a comfortable place to sit. As you can see black lab Coco Chanel likes the chair and ottoman in this bedroom.
- A fantastic bed frame and mattress, mattresses last 25 years so buy a good one.
- Desk: I like having a desk in the bedroom, here we have a small writing desk that we painted glossy white. Above the desk we have a book shelf made of books, a vision board, and some photos.
- TV: yes I know we are supposed to keep them out of the bedroom but, let’s be honest it is nice to relax in bed and watch TV.
- Fireplace: a fireplace is not a must but it is nice to have, especially during Maine winters.
- Art: please do not forget to dress your walls. You do not have to spend a lot of money. Go to art shows or galleries and start collecting.
- Windows-you do not need big heavy drapes, these linen curtain panels are inexpensive but effective.
- Paint is very important to a well designed bedroom. I like soothing colors in a bedroom, this does not mean pastels they can be saturated colors but they need to make you feel calm.
- I also like to have fresh flowers in a bedroom, in fact I might need to go to the florist today!
- Bedside tables-bedside tables with storage for books, and all the other stuff you want close by but do not want to see.
