Apt#309 Bedroom

I will be honest with you blog readers…I am amazed how many of you have enjoyed watching me redo this little apartment.  Thank you for following along and sending encouraging words.

Today my focus is my bedroom.  Here was the original empty room, measuring in at 12′ deep by 10′ wide.

With a window, sliding closet doors, door to my utilities that must have access for maintenance and the entry door my wall space seemed minimal compared to the 14′x16′ bedroom I left behind in my old house. So I opted to sell my queen size bed and purchase a twin bed much to the chagrin of my children who still toss and turn all night.  Not so with me, I either lie flat on my back or right side and I am out, snoring like a log!  Just ask my girls who spent a night with me in a hotel recently.

I am a little premature in showing you too much detail here as I still have not put the wall decor in place or my dresser top so I will put some emphasis on my two projects finished in the room.  The curtains, I love them, bright, cheerful, colorful yet classy and mixes all of the colors in the room in one place. My simple pattern of a rectangle and rings.

Every girl needs something with beads!  I love it on the plaid as it takes them up a notch from ordinary to classy.

How about that vintage headboard?  Craig’s List for $35.00 and it fit in my back seat!  The bright euro pillow is dark blush and picks up the colors in my green floral  Matelasse cover. The small striped pillow is the coordinating bedskirt.

And last but never least my area rug is 7 x 9 and almost fills the room bringing wonderful warmth and softness to my toes… And there by my bed is my faithful rocker all dressed up in new fabric too.

I am such an amateur at decorating but have often wondered if every ten years I needed to move just to allow me to redecorate every room in the house…I think if my husband was here he might say “amen” about now.
