my bed
this is what it looks like today~
I want to get a large rose applique and attach it
to the headboard ~
I took it off and just have the plain white
comforter for now ~
I no longer have the white chest in this room,
but a white wicker piece instead.
Notice the tv ?? I made a light pink
cover for it and it looks much better
than a big black thing among all my pretties.
I also put up different curtains since this picture
was taken...now they are just white gauze.
Also have a white ceiling fan
Can you tell I love white? lol ~
being told it was a full size. Took it home and
got it all repainted within a few days.
Hauled it into the bedroom only to find that it
was not a full size, but a queen or king.
{I guess a smart person would have checked
that out before hand ...lol }
So my darlin' hubby made new side rails
to shorten it up and he also painted them for me.
(I distressed them)
I have loved it ever since ~
A shabby wooden letter holder with a fleur-de-lis.
that we made for our children last year for Christmas.
They loved them ~
Hubby can make most anything he sets his mind to.
We came up with the design , he cut out the wood
and put them together, I painted and distressed them.
The kids have gotten many compliments on them.

Have a wonderful day today!

Sandi... your bedroom is charming and cozy. Love the idea of the tv cover... It conceals and also keeps the dust from collecting as the are a magnet and oh so hard to keep clean... Clever girl....
i love the all white, i was thinking of doing that, i need to get braver
OHH! I love it! I wish I was brave enough to paint my furniture. Yours look so great! Maybe one day, I will be brave! hehehe
Hugs, Lisa
I need to send you a pix of my letter holder. I put it by the door and have sparkly red berries w/leaves in the bottom two areas and white roses from our wedding w/boxwood in the top one. It's gorgeous!!!
You have the most gorgeous bedroom!!!
It looks great Sandi! Our cooler weather project for fall (probably in November - lol) is to paint & distress our bedroom furniture.
Your room is lovely and looks so peaceful :)

I Love it, Sandi! I had white furniture as a teen and i long to have some again some day. (When we settle down. Ha-ha!) I have the bravery to paint but not the power!
Did you see the give away through Cindy's blog for the appliques? it's for a $50.00 gift certificate! ♥
Oh, Sandi, the holders are lovely. I can see why the kids love them. Your DH does beautiful work.
WHITE! I love it! & a touch of pink for pa-zazz! Beautiful.
Have a lovely warm eve. TTFN~ Marydon
I love your room Sandi. I would love to paint my bedroom furniture white too, but haven't yet. Our headboard is white but not the chests and dresser. What a transformation on your bed. It is so pretty. That mail holder that your hubby made is wonderful and I bet the kids love it!
Hugs,

Most people would have been thrilled that it was a queen...they're always trying to make a double into a queen. Myself? I like a double...cozier!
Anyways, it will be gorgeous with an applique' I love all of the fall things you're doing...that transferware plate for a *QUARTER*?!!! You're killing me! LOL
Have a great day!

Oh, I love all your white goodies ~ looks beautiful and serene. I do love those appliques too. A rose would look gorgeous on your bed.
Please accept my belated but sincere thank you for leaving your lovely comment on my new blog - and for signing up as a follower too. What an encouragement for me. I've had such a hard time getting up the nerve to write posts. And I don't have a digital camera so...(another excuse, I guess.) I did write my 2nd entry today. Yah!
Bless you, Cynthia K.
P.S. I have been a follower of your blog for a while now. Always one of my favorites.
Hi Sandi~That looks so sweet and quite cozy. I could snuggle up and read right there.
