Bedroom Reveal 2023

Before I get started with part 1

of our bedroom redo,

I would like to wish all of the mom's

a Happy Mother's Day!

We took my mom out for dinner last night.

Today we celebrate my granddaughter's

sweet 16 birthday party. 

Then afterwards us kids will be

taking my mom out to dinner again.

Just a recap of what the color use to be.

Colonial Blue and Crisp White.

The bottom two drawers is the new white.

Benjamin Moore Ballet White

This one wall and trim are this new color.

The walls are now Benjamin Moore Wedgewood Gray. 

It is a prim blue gray color really.

We moved the bed to the wall by the windows.

This gave me more room to decorate 

how I wanted to at the end of the bed.

A new vignette for this table.

Up close.

Look at all of the bug holes in this piece.

I believe it was some type of bucket with

possibly a leather handle since no handle existed

when I purchased this. I added twine to the holes

on each side to hang.

This wood tankard is from the 1700's.

A German ginger beer bottle.

The two crocks I normally kept under this table

were moved out for this ovoid one.

Added some faux fern for Spring/ Summer look. 

 

Bob made this cabinet and painted it black for me.

The basket holds his heart loop monitor to the right

of the lamp. The wool hides it from view.

Opted to hang my bunny rug here.

I like to have some kind of bunny in each room. LOL

View looking from inside the door.

Tundra acting up.

Say hello to everyone Tundra.

At the end of the bed now is this prim table.

Placed the penny mat I made on the table.

I coffee stained this piece to mute the green.

Not even sure why I added green to it in the first place.

Not a fan of green as you all know.

Did add a pewter compote with three pieces

of stone fruit that match the penny mat though.

This Windsor chair is the real McCoy.

I purchased this from an antique friend who has since passed.

She sold me this chair and the crock earlier in my post

as she knew I would cherish them as she did.

In person you can see the original wood,

the layer of blue paint from the 1800's

and then the black from the 1900's.

This chair is from the 1700's.

A small tick pillow and top hat sit on it.

My side of the bed has this ovoid jug

with some Spring flowers inside.

It sits on top of this rug piece.

Forgot to remove this other stone fruit, LOL

Wider view.

On the rack is this linsey woolsey blanket

and gathering basket.

The Paul Revere light.

Not sure yet how I will decorate the remainder

of the hooks on the wall.

Guess this can be another post at some point.

The room will remain like this for many years.

No plans on moving anything more.

Will show the other sides of the room redo

in my next post.

Will just make minor seasonal changes.

I am most asked what inspires 

you to decorate?

I love my prim magazines.

I love Pinterest.

Lately I love You Tube.

When Bob and I first started in the antique business,

I purchased all kinds of magazines.

I told Bob lots of folks want that magazine look,

so we bought items that were featured in

magazines where we could.

We would display our wares in vignettes to show 

others how it would look like in their homes.

It was always a hit and we re-arranged our

entire 1000 ft booth monthly.

We became the owners best selling vendor.

After many years, we decided to venture out

and found our own store.

With Bob's health it is hard for him to move

furniture now, so this is why I am doing

each room in our house one more time...

and the furniture will stay put.

In other news we had a visitor to our

front yard the other day.

This female quail just hung around.

I have not seen a quail since I was a teen,

so was thrilled to see her.

Also glad she stayed so I could grab my phone

to take a pic.

Mother's Dat Blessings To All!
