Welcome...to the longest "quick redo" of my life - AKA the MIDDLE BEDROOM.
Yes - I thought it would take a few weekends - TOPS.
But I was mistaken.
Maybe I've had a few unforseen events. And possibly every piece of furniture I began with has been replaced at least twice...
Seriously...I have alternated in identifying with Goldilocks, and the Princess of The Princess and the Pea. (Maybe that's why I decided to add green accents?)
But wait...they started out as turquoise accents, until I remembered it was fall...
...and winter was coming...and I have this really cool patchwork velvet throw in lovely shades of green, and dark green velvet pillow shams...
So the turquoise lasted about a week, and was boxed up to hibernate until spring fever hits. It should be a fairly easy switcheroo, since I'm keeping the basic stuff neutral.
But that is months away. And now, it is fall. I love fall.
So my darker greens came out. They still work with my bird and garden theme.
I added a few more things to a small gallery wall opposite the foot of the bed.
It fit nicely on the wall between the east entrance and the closet, next to the mystery crate-box to which I added legs, painted antiqued silver and most recently painted white. It holds bed linens and functions as a table.
The vintage luggage underneath is filled with vintage linen pieces - crocheted, embroidered, lace, etc.
All in all, I'm happy with the way the room is looking, it is just taking a lot longer to get there than I ever imagined it would.
At the very minimum - the following list is things that are still waiting to be done:
- Finish padded headboard
- Hang curtain rod/curtain
- Sew duvet & dust ruffle
- Paint French chest of drawers
- Stage north wall
I have hope it will be done and cozy before guests arrive at Thanksgiving! Beyond that, I'm not putting any time frame to any of it. :)
Word for the Day:
Romans 5:3-5
3 Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5 and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
