I am so overwhelmed, do not know where to start... Redecorating help needed.....

I have my parents house. They both passed away. I have been living in the upstairs and the downstairs. I want to really get the master bedroom redone, and make it look totally different. I do not know where to start. I keep that door closed. I have a high ranch, so if anyone has pics of there master bedrooms, please post. I would really appreciate it. We have been using the a really big bedroom downstairs and now it is time for redoing the upstairs. It has been very hard to get to this point. I got rid of all the clothes , but still have to really get rid of the furniture, etc. How do you know what style you like, do you paint or put down a new rug first? Should I hire an interior decorator? We are also going to be gutting out our bathrooms, to not make them look like they are stuck in the 1970's. HELP! TIA

I have a Hi-Ranch, check out my pics in my album for any ideas. Any questions, let me know. Link to Album

Paint first and then replace carpet, this way if you get paint on the carpet it's the old one.

Look at lots of catalogs, go to stores and look at there displays. I'm sure something will catch your eye. GL & lots of for all the renovations you will be doing. It's hard, but it will be a new house in the end but with the memories you don't want to forget.

Sue, I think I have pics in my photo album of my bedroom

there are so many room inspirations on the HGTV and PotteryBarn websites -- you should check them out.

Sometimes I borrow and sometimes I completely copy! LOL!
