Bedroom reveal

I spend so much time in my bedroom that I wanted it to be a special 
place that I absolutely love to be.  Besides sleeping there, 
I do almost all my homework in bed, I watch TV in bed, 
and it's where I do all my sewing for my

 window treatment customers.  So ~ when I'm not at my

full time job, I'm in my bedroom (especially in the winter).  I spent

a year decorating the room, mostly due to finances and it is a

hodgepodge of pieces collected over time and from various places. 

The first piece I worked on was the sewing table.  This is where I 
make all the pretty things for my window treatment business, 
Curtain Call.  I haven't been very busy this year with sewing, but 
there were times when I spent all my free time at this table.
  I wanted it to be a pretty place to work.

  



Next is the armoire.  It came from The JC Penney Outlet and was originally purchased for the lake house I almost had.  It is where I store all my

sewing supplies. 

    

It has such pretty details.

The headboard was also a great find from Penney's Furniture Outlet.  It was

a bargain at only $29.  I painted it to match the other furniture and 

covered it with a beautiful duvet and lots of pillows.



The headboard is topped with a familiar sign that used to hang over my daughter's bed when she was younger.  When she grew

out of it, I couldn't bear to part with it.

The nightstand is pretty nondescript, but holds a picture of my daughter

and a few other pretty things.

My dresser was found at another outlet store and fortunately was

the perfect color and the only piece I didn't have to paint.

 

My vanity was a desk I found at a yard sale.  It was a surprise

of sorts, because after I purchased it and was loading it into my car, I

discovered the top was totally ruined.  The lady had set a large

box of books on top of a bad spot to hide it.  So I had to purchase a piece of

oak veneer to recover the top with.  The chair was another

yard sale find and the mirror is from Lowe's.

 

To add more structural personality to the room, I topped off one wall 

with a shelf that runs from one end of the room to the other. 

It adds some extra storage space.

 

My most recent purchase and splurge is my beautiful

chandelier that I found at a store that repairs lighting fixtures.

It was a "hole in the wall" kind of place with paper

covering all the shop windows, but was full of treasures and run by

a very kind and lovely Christian couple. Imagine my surprise

when I discovered that it is exactly like a chandelier I saw Tommy 

eyeing on a farmhouse episode of "Sarah's House".

It's a pretty small room and packed with probably way too

much furniture, but it is cozy and has everything I need to

function and be comfortable.
