and said I loved my bedroom and that I was done? Well, after I looked at that picture online, I realized a couple of things. One, that the lamps on the tables were way to small and didn't match the room. Two, that the tables themselves needed a makeover. So, that is what I did.
I knew I needed new lamps, but really didn't want to pay lots of money for them. So I kept my eye out for some lamps that were the right size and shape, knowing I could paint them if need be. I found these at a yard sale, $1 a piece. They were an ugly rubbed brass, but painted white with new lampshades they look great!
Here is the picture of my curtains I promised in better light. I love how they turned out.
I made a runner for my bed, to cover where the comforter doesn't cover the sheets! I made it out of vintage table clothes. I LOVE vintage linens. Love. When I see them in a store, I make a bee-line for them.
I made runners for my tables with some quilt squares I had laying around. A few years ago, I set out to make a weekend quilt kit. (Ha.) I had about a 1/4 of the squares done, and figured I would never finish the quilt, so I put them to good use in my bedroom!
The tables themselves received a coat of white and some distressing. Of course. Also new hardware. We need to either buy another set for the bottom or just fill the holes in from the old ones, I don't know what I am going to do about that yet.
I also found another couple of frames at a yard sale, they are ready to hang but just not up yet. One of them is oval, I was so excited! I also painted my mirror white, over there in the corner. So, NOW I am done, and I love it even more. I realize its a lot of white and that is not for everyone, but we love it. Looking at this pic online, the lamps and tables look so much better!
