Ok now for the close ups...
and this...
I got out this bedspread and quilt...
Bought fabric to cover the toy box and chair...
But when I uncovered my chair I found this!!
It is a great mauve that matches both my quilt AND my new fabric on the toy chest!
Now I would say I was shocked but I tend towards the same colors so it has happened before that I end up all matchy!
I'll just add that I added the vintage linens to my dressers and bedside table early on to lighten up my dark furnature. And that I'm still in a desperate search for the right curtains!
SO I'll let you go as this is long but special thanks to blog friends, elyse, cathy, barbra jean, and jenny & the girls at suzanna's antiques for helping with the crutical items to redo my room!!!!
HUGS, Lisa
It looks great Lisa! Very cozy. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that likes STUFF. Sometimes I just can't part with it and I enjoy my things, I have to say. It's always fun to redo a room. I painted my bedroom last fall and have been making gradual changes. Next stop-furniture painting? Can't decide between 3 colors. Ha, that just gave me a blog idea(always looking for those), I'll do a poll of my loveleigh readers. Maybe you gals can help me decide.
ReplyDeleteOh buy the way, Harry Potter ROCKS!
I've read the books over and over and over. Can't wait for the new movie to come out in July!
Love Jane Austen too, but tend to like the movies better than the books. I think it translates better to me because of the time and style they were written in.
Have a great day today and give your doggies a kiss, hope they are enjoying the new room!
I love your platters on the wall, Lisa! ♥
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa, your bedroom is wonderful, filled with such gorgeous treasures, I love your teddy bears, so adorable!!

hooray for photos! thanks, lisa! are you loving your room re-do? so pretty!
ReplyDeletei am tickled to see things from my shop around your room. i love the pink-framed memory board and when i clicked to enlarge it to see the fabric (awesome) it was so fun to see the cards and bookmark i sent to you!
so many sweet details throughout the room. i love the plates in a row, your peg shelf, how you hang things.
i have good luck finding curtains in the shabby chic aisle at target. martha stewart stuff at kmart, too.
enjoy (maybe treat yourself to some flowers)!

You have so many sweet knick knacks, anyone visiting could easily spend an hour just looking at all the different things! I love that canopy bed and I think I see a lovely little hooked rug under those bears. Very pretty and comfy looking room Lisa!

ReplyDeleteLisa! It looks so comfy and cozy and wow! just like a wonderful retreat. How fortunate you had that lovely quilt. I love redoing rooms, and it is even better when you just redesign and repurpose.

Lovely makeover. I love the quilt! I have a thing for quilts, and that one is very pretty. Nice job.
