My Bedroom Reveal

This is one photo of the bedroom redo.  You can see how the stenciled wall has a sheen to it.  I need to take some more pics of different angles.  But I just wanted to let you know that it is almost finished :)  I like how it all turned out.  At first I was fretting it :).


I will post more pics later of the different decor I used.   I tried to put some rustic in with the elegance to sort of balance it out  (and to help the hubby feel better).  I actually am very lucky in that area he lets me decorate any way I want to as long a s I am happy he says :).

DIY Sheet Music Wreath

As I mentioned before I have been redoing our bedroom, trying for a more elegant romantic feel.  I stenciled the walls in a metallic paint  and then I wanted something a little more rustic to add to all the glam of the wall.  I found this wreath idea on Pinterest.   I love how it turned out and it added just the right touch to the wall to sort of tone it down.  This is right above our headboard and it literally took my hubby just two weeks to look up and say "did you add something different to the wall?"   He did say he liked it! LOL

My Valentine Mantle

I am starting to do a little Valentine decorating.  I don't do much but I like to fill my jars and put a couple of banners out.  I put this heart banner on my mantle.  I ordered this off of Etsy through a very talented lady.   I love the pastel colors in the banner and the way she has it held together with silk ribbbon.  The images are vintage images that are so sweet.

DIY Mantle

This is my DIY fireplace. This was originally from an old home in another state (can't remember where now) a friend of mine came back with it and it was all beat up She had gotten it out of a house ready to be torn down.  When it first came my hubby looked at me and said "you've got to be kidding me, that thing looks terrible" but my friend and I had a vision.   And of course my hubby was sooo happy to help lol.  He ripped it down the middle so she could have half and I could have half.:).  Then we each did what we wanted to each of ours.  I painted mine cream colored and added two spindles to the front.  I added some corner trim  to the opening.   I ordered a decal off from the internet and put that on the front.

He (he being my oh so happy to help hubby) added a deeper board to the top so I could put all sorts of things on the top. :)  I then decorate it differently at different times of the seasons.  Right now I have some vintage lace hanging from the edge and some green pearls.  I also have a prism hanging from the middle of each strand.  I have moved this with me three times now.  I love it, it is so fun to decorate.

Summer decoration on my dough table

I am getting some summer decorating done on the inside.  There are not many flowers out in my garden yet, but I did have the flowers from my  coral bells and cranesbill geraniums.  They look so delicate in my wire flower container.  I have some faux cookies that I had just gotten from Rose petals and Rust.  They are so beautiful, I put them in one of my decorative jars.  I think I need to order some pink ones now :)
I have some gorgeous tags that I found on etsy in the tall jar.  They have bluebirds and roses on them. my two favorites.  All on my ruffled table runner and under that my vintage dough table that I use as my island.

I added another nest tag on the top of the tall jar, it is in aqua and so pretty.

Old Window Redo

This is actually something I did a few years ago.  My hubby had bought me some roses and I hated to just throw them away after they were done blooming, sometimes they come few and far between :). 
 So I dried them and dug out one of my old windows from my stash.  I painted it white, and then found some old paneling for the back and painted that white too.  I then Hot glued the roses on the backing and then some spanish moss along the bottom for more texture.  And then my hubby screwed the back on the window and put a hanger on it for me. He is so good :)

It still looked a little plain to me so I added a piece of old lace I had, did I mention I am obsessed with old lace, seriously its bad! Then I thought it needed a little bling (don't we all) so I put a dragonfly on it that had some pretty stones on it.
So far we have made each of our girls one and they love them for their homes too.   Fun to do if you have an old window sitting around and someone to buy you roses.

Spring Decorating

I don't know what it is but I have been arranging and rearranging around the house this week. I think despite the weather outside I have Spring fever!!!

So I am in denial of what is going on out there and am starting to decorate for Spring. I love all the colors of Spring and Summer they go perfect with what I like to decorate with.

This is my pantry door in my kitchen, I love decorating this for the seasons.
