Welcome to our Farmhouse Master Bedroom Tour! It is a humble, calming, minimalist-inspired space where we can relax and rest. Our little haven. Looking back in time, this room was the one we called, the "Parlor." Off to one side was a door that led to a laundry room. Within the Parlor was a queen-sized futon, a daybed, a folded cot(which doubled as an ottoman), and a television set with an assortment of movies in a cabinet. The Parlor also doubled as a guest room. When … [Read more...] about Farmhouse Master Bedroom Tour
