Yesterday I spoke about being creative this weekend, and today I walked the walk. I worked on our primary bedroom a bit. There's still a lot of work/decor to tackle; new rug, address our seating, ceiling light, paint a few pieces of furniture, but I can check off "bedding" from the list.
Earlier today on
I posted a little sneak peek of our new bedding. I received lovely feedback, which always makes me happy.
So here it is in the bigger picture! Sadly, by the time I got to taking photos, it was dark. Oh, well... you get the idea, right? It compliments my walls beautifully, even in evening lighting.
Part of my creative work today was replacing the knobs on our existing bed-side dressers. We'll eventually move these small dressers to the guest room, but for now, new knobs are a nice change. The lamps & bedding I picked up at
! The
,
and
I purchased at Target. Our tufted bed is from
. And that Blacksmith sign is from
. We bought the sign years ago and had it hanging above our mantle. About five years ago, we updated the fireplace and the sign went into storage (aka: the basement). I'm so happy to find a new home for it. It makes me so happy to bring it out of storage and enjoy it again. What do you think? Yay or nay?
I love that the ceramic urn lamps look aged. One of the things I've tried to do with our "new-er" home, is to age it a bit. The raised panels in several rooms, the color choices, the classic design elements all serve to age the house and add some character.
(you can see a little bit of our new white window panels in the mirror)
Next on the list is a new rug and addressing the seating. We have two comfy chairs that sit in the window, but the fabric is all wrong for this new scheme. I'm guessing I'll have fitted slip-covers made. I'm thinking a printed sailcloth or a nubby linen would be nice. I'll keep you posted! For now, I'm going to enjoy our new white bedding and quilt. All in good time...
Happy Weekend and Sweet Dream!
