~master re-do sneak peaks~

Hello there bloggy friends!

As most of you know, I've been in the midst

of re-doing our "master" bedroom

~*~

we yanked out the carpet over Christmas break

we installed fir planks shortly thereafter

we sanded

 (oh yeah, hubby went deaf  sanding while I was....um...blogging......)

we varnished...we painted....

then after 2 long weeks of sleeping smack dab in the

~middle~

of our bonus room aka:  tv room, computer room, kids room, play room, romper room......you get the idea....."fish bowl"

we really needed to get back in our room really enjoyed our time with

the whooooole family each night......

.....we finally moved back in....hooray.....

I've been putting it together a little bit at a time,

trying to use what I have &

save some $$$

so instead of making you all wait forever....

I thought I'd share as I go along...

I had this little dresser waiting patiently for me

sitting in my garage....

and

since I'm going for lots of whites/creams etc...

....I moved her in.

(she still needs a little work, like another knob & sanding etc..but for now it's in)

 the vintage window that was above our bed

 tin flower bucket w/ some dried flowers

a vintage clock

a pewter bowl to hold jewelry

and

it looks so cute!

(my camera just doesn't do it justice, but I so love the "look")

ewwww please do not look at that nasty orangy brown door....ugh....

next on the list.....

whaddaya think?

you like?

next....bedside table...

~*~

I had this cute little chest of drawers

that one day a few years ago.....

....I decided to tear apart....

one might say one too many episodes of HGTV!!

I took out the drawers

I tore out the insides

I killed it

I think I can safely blame "Design on a dime"

{I won't even tell you that this was an antique...no that would be too embarrassing....yikes....can't believe I did that.....}

I wanted a curtain instead.

so...

a curtain made from a sweet little vintage pillowcase is now in place

cute?

I am sooo in love with this sort of thing

shabby romantic

that's me

~*~
Ok..question..do you like the accessories on the first pic of
the bedside table?
 (above)

 the picture under this picture....
let me know your fav!!!
 {apparently I am complete unable to make a decision.......smiles}

a couple items I stole from my etsy shop....

a couple shabby ol' frames that were buried in a closet....

reused the same lamp...

here's a little close up of the trim on the curtain

....so sweet

oh yeah,  the mattelasse cover found at Goodwill!

~yum~

So, I'm going to make a dust ruffle w/ cream linen & make it all drapey ya' know?

almost forgot hubby's side...

he's like...you are not putting the roses on my side???

what???

me???

do that??

no..... it was more like:

"oh honey, come on! you can live with that right??? it is NO reflection

on your manhood!!"

like I said once before.....poor guy...living w/ a house full of girls....

I told him he could hang up a football jersey & his hunting knife if he wanted.....

I'm thinking about using this old door for our headboard...
or just leave it where it is?

I know..... I desperately need some kind
of headboard fast!!
&
 major pillow revamping!!

cute little shabby chair w/
vintage little girl's dress

another question for you.....does she have a place in here?

I really love her, but not so sure about it.

what do you think?

Sadie isn't sure....

~*~

So, that's it for now....

What's next on the re-do list:

1) drop cloth curtains (yep, I'm jumping on that 'best idea ever' bandwagon)

2) sisal or sea grass rug

3) figure out something above our bed

possible ideas:

vintage door as headboard (shown above),

 huge old window w/ black & white family photos (on hand),

drapey fabric swag,

 or make a fabric covered/upholstered headboard (plywood on hand),

 or ??

4) a few other wall hangings

5) lots of pillows (crisp white to go w/ the cream), and a little burlap or grain sack or hemp....

5) big fat cozy throw w/ lots of texture for bed

6) and of course painting or replacing the ghastly orangey brown doors....

I'll keep you posted!!

Thanks for coming by!
