...that's what I wanted to do to my bedroom, I mean. Well, it was green, black and white and even though I liked it - I wanted a breath of fresh air for summer - without painting. So like I told you all in my last post - I thought I'd bring in a lil' blue - so now I've got the blue of the sky and the green of the grass and for this time of year - it makes me feel happier. Now, y'all know - nothing 'bout my home is fancy or fussy - so this lil' reveal is just some simple things I thought I'd share with you. Sorry - it is a lil' picture heavy...enjoy!
I already had green walls - so no work to be done there - I did purchase a new bedspread - Target...
This is a quilt my grandmother made me as a lil' girl and it was my inspiration piece...
...two pillows found at the peddlers mall - can you believe they matched this perfect?

..."my all time - most favorite, makes me most happy" canvas (available at my shop - had to get that in there)
...my old picnic baskets that were red - I spray painted blue and green and paired them with an old globe and $5.00 topiaries bought at a local consignment store...
...my lil' blue bench - found at peddlers already painted that pretty blue...;-)
...just simple breezy panels that were to long - so I jus' turned over the tops and a lil' emblem I covered with scrapbook paper and paint and placed on an old painted coca-cola crate...
...pretty colored books bought at the local mission store - a dime a piece...
...perfect bed side reading and fresh flowers of course...
...this room is tiny but comfortable...
...my cabinet made from an old window - I've currently got one similar available at the shop...
...I wanted to give it a punch of color -so I simply taped a piece of scrapbook paper to the door...
...I hope I am a blessing to my family...they sure are to me...
...and of course, my lil' burlap pillow I made - with the one thing written on it that I'd like to do - REST!
Just sharing with you - hope you have a beautiful and blessed week!

P.S. - Thank you all so much for your sweet comments on my last post - they made me very happy!
Love the pics. The room looks so light and airy. Great color scheme. I see that your husband does not like to pile his clothes up at the end of the bed! lol

ReplyDeleteWhere do I begin? The room has such a fresh look to it. It could be a bedroom on Martha's Vineyard. Are you sure you live in Kentucky? It has a lot going on and it all works! Love the white curtains and the curtain rods. I think I am going to go fluff something! This room is inspiring!

Your room looks gorgeous!!! I love using blue and green together! And I have that exact same blue star, only mine is on the kitchen wall.
ReplyDeleteHi Cathy,
ReplyDeleteWOW! I love your bedroom and your dinning room! My goodness they are so lovely!. Your colors are perfect, and the RED hutch, well that just makes the hole room (my favorite color).
I love the way you used the old picnic baskets in your bedroom and the quilt your Grandmother made you as a little girl is so beautiful and full of rich color, a very special gift to still have.
Both rooms are just amazing!
Have a sweet day,hug~Elizabeth
