Anticipation

It's keeping you waitttttinnnggggg....

Yes, It is and I am sorry...

But so far coming up with nothing over the bed. To be honest, we have not started the hunt. Too much going on these days to be out shopping.

I never did show you the other dresser and thought this will be the very last thing I show you until the full reveal.

I promise:)

I had this pretty bee picture for about 10 years now, purchased through Ballards catalog..I think it will go along nicely with my romantic theme.

This candle sconce I purchased a couple of years ago at Marshalls. I have two of them and they used to hang on my wall in our guest bedroom...I think they found a new home for now..

I heavily distressed this piece....This is the Chalk paint I have been using and love...After the paint dried I used the clear wax, distressed and then buffed the piece. That is where the real work comes in..but it is so fun and immediate gratification.

My husband was a little apprehensive that we could transform modern furniture to looks shabby french....

This is the second coat with just the chalk paint.

Pretty shabby French if you ask me!

I will take nicer pictures for the full reveal.

Just a collage to show you how it is all coming together in the romance department....There is something to be said for a bedroom makeover...that's all I am saying!!~

Have a wonderful evening!

Romantic Bedroom is stuck in a decorating slump..need some input.

So I am in the last phase of our bedroom decorating.

What to do over the bed is my biggest challenge. 

THe bed itself is so gorgeous I really do not want to take away from it..

However, I need a lil something something, don't you think?

I love decorating with plates,

I love mirrors too,

I thought of something vintage in black and white...

Can you give a girl some insight, thoughts, ideas would be 

GR8888!

Here is what the headboard of the bed looks like..and I will show you some of the pieces in the room thus far,

hopefully you can get the gist of how it is coming together without me giving too much away...

Duck eggs blue

Romantic accessories

Cream, which is really a pale yellow...

Now onto some examples of what I have seen, that may interest me..

going for the Paris/French shabby chic romantic feel,

ya know I am such a romantic ( ha,ha)

 Then there are mirrors over the bed idea...

Our room is already heading in a direction, he was not planning on LOL!

Maybe I can make something romantic, and shabby over the bed..
or maybe just do a hodge podge of things,

Perhaps I go with nothing and just let the bed be 

the main focal point and my accessories around it play the room...

Romantic Bedroom Part II

Oh my achy breaky back!

Yesterday my chalk paint finally arrived. This stuff is blowing off the shelves I tell you. It's wonderful that is why!

I would have started painting the second it came in, however, I had BUNCO last night and just could not do it.

BTW I won! First time ever....

Anyhow..I started first thing this morning.

Before

During, I was a little concerned about this color covering. I will say the duck eggs blue seemed to have better coverage, but in the end this worked out, and I really love the color. I used cream which is a very pale yellow.

Sneak peak at the curtains..I bought these at World Market, they are pretty much the same ones I loved at Pottery barn, but the cost was 50.00 cheaper a panel, I bought these for 39.99 a panel, 96 inch.

This hour glass my husband bought for me while we were dating.

I heavily distressed this piece after it was dried and waxed.  I want our room to have that Paris/French shabby feel, It's getting there, more to come. I did my dresser too today, but you can't see that part just yet.

Thanks for popping over, and as always your sweet kind comments.
I appreciate your visits, I really do!
