Decorating the bedrooms was fun! Once I decided on paint colors, I looked for bedspreads to match in each room.  Bedspreads, because comforters are of no use in Puerto Rico.  It is never cold. And we never plan to air condition like they do in Florida.

I went all tropical, which is interesting because only touristy homes in Puerto Rico are decorated like that.  I wanted to create a tropical escape both inside the house and outside. While there are some beachy decorations like shells, I steered away from the beach theme.

Decorating is an ongoing task, until you decide you are done. And my plan is that the rooms are minimalist, given they are not that big. In January, the primary colors were determined by wall color and the bedspreads. In March, Supriya and I bought artwork for each room. Since we put fans with lights in most of the rooms, it turned out I did not need lamps in every bedroom.  But I did get a set for the master bedroom. They have bottoms that I will one day fill with shells.

The master bedroom is green. The bedspread is mostly green leaves with blue-gray, pink and white. The windows were covered with a lace curtain to allow the light and air to flow in. We keep the windows open all year.

Once the air conditioner was installed above the bed, I added some home made acrylic pour paintings.

The second biggest bedroom is in the front of the house and is pink. It has a wall of closets that is mirrored making the room feel even bigger.

The third bedroom is blue. This is the IKEA bed that triggered our first fight in the house.

The fourth bedroom is mustard and holds a full and twin bunk bed. We decided not to install a ceiling fan as it would have been safe for a child in the upper bunk.
