A couple of weeks ago we decided it was high time our bedroom got a facelift. We painted it celery green 15 years ago and it was looking scuffed up and just plain lifeless. Not a very good feeling for the master bedroom. Initially I thought a gray and yellow with a bit of black and white color scheme was the direction I wanted to go in. And I still love that idea but somehow we got off on another track and now the train is moving quickly into the world of color. So be it. As much as I love looking at pictures of rooms done in a somewhat limited color palette I just have a hard time keeping to that. When I look around at all of the things I fall in love with and keep for our house, they have one thing in common. Color! Bright pops of color just make me happy. So I'm not going to fight it. The room is fully painted and we are starting to hang art on a couple of the walls. It is still a work in progress. We found the cutest quilt for the bed and some pretty floral sheers for the windows. I'll take some snaps of those soon.
The wooden standing heart is one of my favorite vintage finds of late. I purchased it at a cute antique store in Rochelle (Priscilla's Parlor). Sadly the store recently closed. I just wonder where it came from and what its original purpose was. Definitely looks like an old store display. Whatever it was doesn't matter but it is fun to imagine the past life of cool old items like this.
I better run ... the mister is calling me to get back to the task I just escaped from.... painting dressers. Ugg! I really hate painting but it is another project for this room so I should get back to it. Cheers for now!
So adorable! You have such a way with displaying! I LOVE it!
