My romantic master bedroom reveal!

Did I keep you all waiting just a little too long? Well it certainly better be worth it right?

I think it was. We had to find just the right piece for over the bed.

What I came to realize is Mike and I really do not have traditional art in our home. I have probably three pieces total that I have purchased from a home decor store.  Most everything else is from antique store or ebay.

So once I did all the other things, ie, painting furniture, curtains, some accessories. There was the dilemma.

I thank Tracy and Liz for sending me links and ideas.  I also thank all you other gals whom left comments and ideas on that dilemma post.

It was Tracy's email, that triggered my thoughts.  I wanted something white, old and chippy.

This door/window  with beveled glass is from the 1800's.
My husband added the old hardware, and hinges. After he hung it on the wall, I had another thought, and that was to crack it open and have it look like an awning.  He bought a rubber door stop,
and there you have it.

Old, white, and chippy! This is very old hardware my husband found at a restoration place here locally in Charlotte. He also bought old hinged to add so he could hang it this way to the wall with dry anchors.

Found this wonderful wire chicken wire basket at TJ Maxx.

What would be a romantic bedroom without perfume and pearls.

Found this old antique sconce a couple of weeks ago, I just loved the curves and the old mirror in the center.

Curtains from World Market. 96 inch, for 39.99.  I do have to add a tad of trim to the bottom as they do not quite touch the floor.  I will do that soon.

How romantic! The Bedding came from Target.
It is so soft and fluffy. The center pillow came from Marshalls. It was in the Living room, but I thought it was perfect in here.  And you know this time I am just not over doing it with pillows. The Bed is a Wesley Allen line. It was the only major splurge.  I cut cost by painting our existing furniture to make it look old, and shabby.
