My Romantic Bedroom

Today I am sharing my bedroom-and yes, I do share it with my husband. I have had some people tell me that it is just too pretty for most men but I guess I am lucky because my husband doesn't complain.  When we were first moving into this house I was worried because our previous bedroom was much bigger and I was worried that the large scale of this furniture wouldn't look good, or even fit in such a small room. But just like most everything else in this house it all fit perfectly. I am really pleased with how the bedroom looks. I painted it this lovely blue (which has a lot of purple in it actually) and I think it is peaceful, calming, and a wonderful place to drift to sleep.
When my husband and I were first married we bought this bed . It was oak and for many years stayed that color.  I love it now that it is white!  I want to get a  hanging roses applique to put in the medallion area.

I found these curtains at Goodwill--for one side anyway, and had to buy the other side at Target.  I love them!

I have had several people think I painted the chandelier on the wall, but it is a vinyl sticker I got on Etsy. The photo is of my husband and I on our wedding day.


 My Mother got me that cute little bunny at a garage sale and the teddy bear is from my days as a teddy bear artist.  For several years I was really involved in my teddy bear making!  I even was published in a teddy bear magazine.  I want to make a pretty fabric flower or something to cover the broken spot in my antique wicker chair.

My vanity is another Goodwill find. Paid $15 for it. Of course it looks much prettier now than when I bought it!

I love the baby portraits of the boys in this room. The color is perfect!

We got the amoire with the bed--it was also oak. Its a great place to hide the TV!


Thanks for coming on a little tour of my romantic bedroom.
