Happy Wednesday everyone!
nothing like telling all of bloggy land that I'm going to
~ focus~
and get my bedroom finished!
nothing like a little pressure.....
self induced I know...as always...
to finish....
so, am I finished????? you asked....?????
well, are you????
well, um....
not....
quite.....
but not because I haven't been
focusing....
I have had my nose to the grindstone....everyday......
remember the whole forgetting to feed my kids & hubby during this sort of thing??
{small casualty of my "focusing".....}
I mentioned this little issue last fall when heavily immersed in slipcovers???
yep, back in that mode...
cuz, all my friends (all you fabulous girls) are waiting to see!!!!
there is simply no time for such things as meal preparing or showering and
when my friends are waiting to see.......:o)
so today, I am trying to start finish curtains, and
the dust ruffle.....
then I'll be 90% done.
but there is another reason it has been taking me soooooooo long.......
and it has to do with making 2 different headboards
one with 3 different types of fabric....
white linen,
white chenille,
white chenille with tufting
faded vintage floral fabric without tufting....
nope....didn't like any of them!!!!
but that's a post all of it's own
so I won't bore you with all that today!
today I just want you to see little bits & pieces of what's coming....
so here's a little glimpse....
oh, and look what I found on ebay today
and I will be waiting ever so impatiently for them to get here.....so
I can put them above our bed.....
well I'm back to the sewing machine......
then back to a the joann's in another town to get what they didn't have here certain fabric store to buy a little more fabric......
I needed a little more than the 9.5 yards of white linen they had in stock...
{thank goodness for the 50% coupon I found in my junk mail basket!!!!}
I'll be back soon to show the full reveal!!

So inspiring, it will be worth it! Love the chandeliers:-)
Looking great! Great lighting choice too.
I'm sure that with all the stunning treasures you have the room cannot fail to be anything but beautiful.
I can't wait for the big headboard reveal!
Looks beautiful, and your Ebay purchases are going to look fabulous!
Kate
Ooooo you're a tease!!! Everything is looking marvey so far....hurry up!

Hi Shellagh,
the pics you've shared are so promising... I'm sure once finished your bedrooom will look simply stunning and breathtaking. can't wait to see it all done and you've been working very hard my friend!
Rita
I'm working on my bedroom too and I love your style, so maybe I'll wait to see your reveal before I finish! I can't wait!

Shellagh,
I'm going to fly you down here so you can show me how to sew all of the cool stuff you make! Oh my gosh girl, you should have your own line of linens. The Ticking & Toile line, I can see it now! I'll be your marketing person..lol. Anyway, to the question about your sconces. It looks like you have a lot of cream going on, which I love. I haven't seen the whole thing yet so I'm going on what I see. Based on that I think I'd leave the them alone. Add a punch of metal in with the wood, linen etc. Are you de-wiring them & adding candles? If so put some white candles in them, get the kind that drips and lets them burn almost all the way. So there is wax on the sconce too. That's my advice...you asked. Lisa
Hi Shellagh,
I cannot wait to see your gorgeous bedroom revealed. Just the little bits and pieces and the pillows says romantic mixed with rustic and so frenchy chic.
hugs
Sissie
Hi Shellagh,
Your bed is coming along fabulously! And I am so jealous of those gorgeous chandeliers you got off e-bay. I've purchased some great things on e-bay myself and I hated to wait for them to arrive. I can't wait to see your finished room.
Have a great week!
Sincerely,
Melinda

oh, my...it is gonna be so nice. Love your special pieces.
I love the sneak peek. I love seeing what everyone is doing with white. It's so soothing. I look forward to seeing your finished room.
Hi, Shellagh,
I just found your wonderful blog and can't figure out why it took me so long! Love your style and sense of humor :)
Joann's gives me fits nine out of ten visits. My badly-needed new ironing board cover is on hold until their next coupon offer, rats!
I know your room will be worth the wait--the sneak peeks look delicious!
your blog is always so beautiful to visit. A-D-O-R-E it. your Joann's has linen? wahhh! mine is a huge store, but no linen. waaahhhh-some-more.
um, those sconces are fab-u-lous! can't wait to see the reveal!
Michelle
wow, you're a genius!
can't imagine how you do all this with
six little girls!
you have incredibly beautiful taste.
Wow, you are so much more focused than I am, that's for sure! I looove your fabulous ebay find and can hardly wait for your bedroom reveal! Seriously, I second what 'Tarnished & Tattered said, about YOUR own line of linens...
Why Not??? Debbie @ Cottage Hann~Me~Downs
Your room is coming along beautifully and those sconces are gorgeous. I can't wait to see it all together. Thanks for playing along today and I hope you received my email. We'll have to hook up after i get back.

Oh, I can relate! You should have seen everyone moaning; about not getting fed, while all I did was make 2 little slipcovers. Haha.
Can't wait for the reveal!

Shellagh amor, I am finally getting back to visiting everyone and everytime I come to your blog I always smile because your beautiful pictures in your header makes me do that...well that...and the fact that I always forget to bring my reading glasses cause you use that tiny type lol btw...how do you do that, go back & forth between the sizes and fonts...I think it is so cool ;) Now what part of the Country are you in. Cali I hope....cause I seriously need to come to your house and get some sewing lessons, I can bring my own sewing machine...no problem! Infact it is still in the cardboard box it came in :) Amor, I am loving all the sneak peaks to your new bedroom, it all looks gorgeous...I seriously want your sconces :)I personally would leave them as is..I think they are gorgeous..and making me green...I can't even blame it on sickness :)Besos, Rose
Oh wow, all the little bits you snuck a peek of for us look like the room is going to be lovely. Loving all the texture I saw going on in the fabrics.
Did you make the pillow case with the small pink flowers on it with the ruffle? I would sure love to know how you made that.
Ooohhh, GORGEOUS! You are talented AND you can sew! You lucky girl!! Love your pics and your blog!
Hugs,
Sheila

I love all the bits and pieces I'm seeing so far. I love white (just ask my hubby). Really anxious to see your headboard. I have had plans so many times to make my own headboard, just never could quite get it designed.
No pressure here, but hurry, hurry.....
What a tease you are...but really, isn't it amazing how long 1 room re-do can take?! I know...I'm in the middle of one too!

Bonjour,
Love your blog! What divine wall sconces dripping with lustres!
I especially love the scones!
Oh my, I cannot wait to see the finished product! I'm so impressed with all of your beautiful sewing, it is so inspiring.
I'm on the edge of my seat after that blog. Love everything and can't wait to see it all put togeather. My bedroom is on my summer project list. You inspire me. I'm going to go get my books and start looking now.
Blessings,
Carolyn
Oh however can we all make some more time for all of us.......I love the cushions.
The little bits and pieces I can see are so pretty. I am excited to see the big reveal! And don't we wear so many hats? Doesn't everyone know that when the artist hat goes on, all the rule go out the door, and hats too!
I'm impressed with your determination!
Yvonne
Oh my! Your bedroom gets more and more beautiful with each layer you create. The pillows and the headboard are to die for! I'm envious every time I see your sewing machine...you make magic there, I swear!
Glad you liked the placemats...they are cute : ) I found those 100% cotton placemats at the dollar store. For the fabric transfer I used June Tailor transfer for light fabrics. They carry it at our little small town JoAnn's here and I used my 50% off coupon. I just added a little light aqua acrylic paint (my favoirte color lately, besides neutrals).
Just iron them on with a circular motion and dry iron on high....they work like a charm.
I have to go by your etsy shop tomorrow...I love your vintage finds.
Your blog has really taken off! You must be so tickled...You are one very talented lady.
in friendship,
Cori
Your Blog is beautiful! So glad I found you! Must add you to my 'Blog Love' page ~ Monica
I LOVE the sconces! They are gorgeous! We have so much in common when it comes to decorating style...I have that same yellow rose picture, too! I love it! I am about to paint the frame white. I am just swooning over everything on your blog!
Hugs,
Adrienne
Love what I see, can't wait to see it all done!
Thanks for finding me and leaving such a sweet note! I'm glad to have found your beautiful world. WOW! I'll be popping around here later while my girls are having quiet time. :) I am feeling much better, and have loved resting a bit in my clean, soulful retreat of an art studio. It's been a long road, but I am very happy with the results!
Julie
Wow! I can hardly wait to see the finished room! So far, it's beautiful... and to answer your question, Worthy Goods is still at Monticello, we are on the right just before you go to the garden area!
Hope to see you soon...happy sewing!
You are killing me here... 30 free boxwoods? Major swooning, I have to check out Craig's List more often!
Have fun planting, and getting the room painted!
Kate
