White Wednesday/Bedroom secrets!

I got your attention, huh?

You know how all of the decorating shows on HGTV say to start your makeover with the grunt work?  The painting, lighting all the hard boring stuff? Well, my decorating style is a little backwards. I always start with the small stuff, the details because that's what inspires me. So for today's White Wednesday I'm showing you some of the details for my new bedroom.

I found these great alabaster lamps at my fav resale shop, it was 1/2 off day so they were only $30! 

This is my bed, I've had it forever.  I bought it because of the perfect chippy paint, check out that crackle.

But this is the bed I covet.  Yep, Debbie at Curious Sofa has my dream bed. I wonder if she'd sell it?  I'm thinking about making one. I have a husband who can build anything, I could cover & tuft it. Hum...

This tole lamp is my latest acquisition, it came from my sweet friend Carolyn, I just love the cream, gold, tan paint on it.

I'm taking this chair out of my living room, look closely at the pillow.  Look framiliar?

Look again, it's Sissie's pillow. I saw it on her blog & snatched it up before anyone else. It is so beautiful, thank you Pillow Diva!

Then I bought this chair for $20. I loved the french provincial style, but not the finish.

A new finish & some fabric fancied it up, not sure about the fabric yet. 

I don't think I've shown you this manni before, isn't she cool?



Her name is Model 1935, I know because it's tattooed on her.

It's always a good idea to have some cherubs watching out for you, so my collection will stay.

Hopefully soon I'll show you the finished room, if I can ever get it painted! But in the mean time, check out Faded Charm & see what other white lovelies are out here today.  Thanks Kathleen for

keeping the party going!

One more white thing.  A new tag I'm working on.

I used a transparency, made it into a pocket to hold beads & tatting.

Have a happy 'hump day'!
