Its took a long time coming as i have had to do it bit by bit , Time and health allowing and
waiting for help with certain things but here it is ,
This is the room i will be taking photos in for my business.

This is the room i will be taking photos in for my business.
To start of we mixed two lots of the reduced paint we have bought over the years to make this candy pink colour for the walls.
And painted the cupboard doors in another paint bargain wich we got from Aldi years ago ( I always buy reduced paint when i see it and it always comes in )
All the handles came from a jumble sale , They cost just £1.50 , They can work out very expensive bought from Diy shops.
The curtain pole and curtains were was £1.00 each from a jumble sale , The curtains are quality lined and weighted curtains.
The wallpaper was £1.50 for two rolls from a jumble sale.
The dressing table if you remember was like this it was in the main bedroom
My nail polish stand was a chipped cake stand that i got from a jumble sale for £1.00 but now sprayed with paint you cant see the chip.
And the candelabra had the same treatment too
The day bed was £69 from B & m
The bedspread is Laura Ashley from a jumble sale for £1.00 there was a deep frill that was faded so i just removed it.
All the cushions on the bed were a pound or less from Jumble sales.
The vintage teddy's i have had for years.
The mirror Below was £5.00 from a charity shop.
.
The Tv table is from feeecyle , Thanks very much Carrie, If you remember the velvet curtains and mirror that i posted about the same lady gave me this , I dont really like putting a TV in the room but as its where i do my yoga Dvd , Its a must.
I've got somewhere to display my linen now while waiting to sell it.
The standard lamp was free from my sister in law , Its still waiting for an up cycle.
This bench is just in there waiting to be sold.
Some of the things i already have , Bought for bargain prices of course.
And the best thing of all my birthday present from my friend mel
The only thing left to do is hang some pictures on the wall behind the bed but i couldn't wait to show you , What do you think.

Oooh I love this room and everything in it, I was once shabby chic obsessed but de-cluttered allot of my collections as I had far to many, I still have bundles of vintage sheeting thou sold masses on eBay but kept a few back, I just want to jump right in these photos ..really lovely, I'm trying to be minimal now lol x
ReplyDeleteThanks sammie , I could never be minimalist though xxx
DeleteJust gorgeous, you have such good taste and style, I am in love with that lamp if I saw it I would have to take it home with me xx
ReplyDeleteThank you , I saw it at an auction i went to with my friend mel but she bought it , I didnt realise it was for me until my birthday in july , It was a lovley surprise xxx
DeletePS to my earlier comment: I'd not want to sell that lovely bench! Surely, that can stay in your home? It's my favourite thing in the room!

Hello galant , your earlier comment has not come through , would you like to post it again xxx
DeleteThis sometimes happens, don't know why. I think, as well as saying how lovely the room looks, I noticed you had nail polish on a stand. It's a good idea to keep bottles of nail polish, once opened, in the fridge. This helps prevent them becoming 'tacky'. I've tried this and it works.

Thanks Margaret , Thats a good tip but my fridge is so small there is no room , The only time there is room is when my shopping had totally run down and i need to go shopping xxx
DeleteIt looks lovely , I like your colours that you use as well.
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteI love the day bed especially and also the bench-x-
The room is lovely - I love your vintage style. You did a beautiful job with it!
ReplyDeleteI like the way you've brought such "unrelated" items together to create a sweet & welcoming space! Can't wait to see the pictures you choose to hang :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Rebecca , I have lost of pictures to choose from ,Its just that we need help drilling the holes so we are waiting for somebody to be free to help us , Then i have a mirror to paint for the centre but will post about it when its done xxx
DeleteOh what a gorgeous room. So love that it is all jumble sale finds etc...much more clever than just going into a shop to buy everything. Fab job!!
ReplyDeleteThanks , I dont like just going to the shop now even if i had loads of money i wouldn't enjoy it so much xxx
DeleteThanks , I couldn't shop in the high street now even if i could afford it , Doing this i wont go into anyone else's home and see the same things xxx
ReplyDeletefabulous! love your daybed and the lıttle seat!only 2 thıngs ı dont lıke---ones the lampshade on the cherub lamp and the knobs on the dressıng table look too bıg--rest ıs gorgeous x
ReplyDeleteThe thing is when you are on a really really tight budget you dont change things jut for the sake of it . Like the draw knobs but that lamp was a present from my best friend and i love it xxx
DeleteSuch a beautiful feast for the eyes, it looks amazing a real feast for the eyes. Some impressive buys with your wonderful touch makes everything so special.

ReplyDeleteWhat a transformation - unique, cosy and lovely! You've done a bostin' job - as they sound round these parts. Your birthday pressie lamp is utterly gorgeous, what a perfect gift! xxx
