Good Morning It's Tuesday (Bedroom pics 1)

Good Morning, and I do mean Morning, it is 2:14 a.m.,

~~~

and I am still awake, not that I haven't tried to sleep,

even got up and had a bowl of cereal cause I felt

hungry and thought sure that would do it...............

~~~

So figured I might as well make myself useful!! ha

~~~
Thought I would make today a fun day with some pictures.

I know how yall love pictures, course, so do I!!

~~~

I remembered that I promised last week I would show you some

pics of the changes I have made in my bedroom.

Our bedroom has yellow walls still, but our comforter

and valances had yellow background, with blue, berry red,

green and white floral fabric. I liked it very much, but

it was looking rather shabby and not so chic.

~~~

So I happened on this quilt type spread at T.J.Maxx

last Fall and fell in love with it!

The Quilt, sham, a throw all match, Originally I planned

to use the throw to make valances, but didn't think about the

way the pattern runs, so that didn't work out.

I have other plans tho, I will tell you about later.

~~~

The green comforter at the bottom of the bed is really

a duvet cover with my old comforter inside. Found it at
Target with the 2 shams for $30.00, and it is such a nice

smooth comfy fabric, we loved it for the winter, but

when it started to get hot, we had to change their locations.

So the light quilt became the focal point, and the duvet

cover took a back seat.

These next 3 pics are just some closeup shots of the fabric

on the quilt, shams and throw.

I just love all the colors, and it is quite different from

what we had before so I really am enjoying that.

These pics below have been around for a long time,

like almost 30 years. A dear friend of mine, the

same one I get so many good recipes from took them herself and

had them framed. She was into photography back them.

I have always loved them, nature scenes...... you know how

I love nature.

~~~

She used to use them in her

home, and when we moved here she let me borrow

them. They were in the dining room and living room

years ago, and my son even had them in one of

his apts. I have asked her a number of times if

she wants them back and she always say "just

hang on to them" one day I might decide to use

them. Anyway, I drug them out and thought

hey, they go great with my new spread.

~~~

The small corbels are really for curtains, I bought

them for that purpose, but then decided I didn't like

it so I repurposed them, and did have them in my

dining room one flanking each side of a large picture.

Just got some small bowls and put some sytrofoam

and moss in them and stuck some small silk plants in,

and there you go.

This is the striped dust ruffle I made. Got the fabric at

Walmart for just $4.99 a yard, it is like the decorator fabrics

at JoAnn's for $15-20 a yard, so always check walmart

just in case. I also just made 2 panels of fabric and slid them on

quarter round molding so I could just stick them under the

mattress so if I want to remove them or take them off

to wash them it is very simple. I will also be making

Valances for the windows out of the same fabric,

when I get to it!! ha

This is a little birdhouse I have had for some years

as well, given to me by someone very special,

it is on my night stand.


This is also on my night stand, the color is a little

washed out, it is more of a golden yellow,

I got it at Old Time Pottery for $2.00.

I love the intricate details for the bowl.

This is on hubbies night stand. I can't think

of what they call it right now, but I have

had it for about 10 years or so, but still

love it. Just moved it to a different location

is all.


oh yea, and the wood lamps you see on our night stands

were given to me by my mom probably 35 years ago,

as a housewarming present for our 1st home.

I had given them back to her to use cause she needed

some lamps and I wasn't using them at the time, so

when she passed away over 4 years ago,

I got them for my son (hard to get something

for a guy from a Grandmother) plus I knew he would

like them cause they were wood and he likes to do

woodworking, so now that he is back with us he is

letting me use them again. I think it is neat!!

~~~

Well, there is more but think I will have to do it

in another post or this is gonna be a mile long.

~~~

So hope you enjoy looking at the pics as much

as we are enjoying our new bedroom.

~~~

Oh Yea, An update on my son for those of you who

have been following his trip. This will be his

4th day of his 2nd Trek. He has now hiked

130 miles. He called on Fathers day from the

top of a mountain. He met some fellows at the

lodge where he was staying, and they have all

been hiking together, and he sounded very

happy about that, he was saying yea, it is

kinda nice having them. I am sure it is nice

to be able to share the experience with someone

besides Joey, so he can talk about it.

He should be getting to the next town

by Friday unless they decide to stop at a

closer town tomorrow.

~~~

Well gang, I am gonna try again for some sleep.

It is 3:10 a.m.

~~~

God Bless You

and

Keep you!!

Nighty Nite!!
