Where I Slumber...

I think that there is something innate in most women
that makes us love fluffing our nests.

~Making our homes feel welcoming and peaceful~

~an escape from the chaos of the outside world~

I wanted to share some of my bedroom photos with you....

I've tried to make it feel like an old European bedroom~
a place that makes me smile and lay in bed just a bit longer.



I textured the walls myself with plaster and glaze
....it took me over a month to finish them...
but it was worth the effort.


My sweet 7 year old made me this wreath for Christmas out of brown coffee filters.
She did the whole thing by herself.
{My Spunky doesn't like assistance}
:)

I love it!



My bedroom won the 2010 This Old House Bedroom makeover.
Thanks to all you lovelies who voted last year!

Maybe someday I can make it into the magazine....

No matter what else~
I've had fun working on it
and it's a peaceful place to lay my head at night.

Hope you have a wonderful day~

I just had a really, really good idea. I can come and live at your house in your room, and you can come finish and decorate my room. I think this is a splendid plan! You know how much I love your room!
