Hello everyone,
I hope you all enjoyed your weekend. We are enjoying lots of sunshine here lately and this week is looking good as well. Today, I am sharing some photos of our bedroom as I am making a few little changes in there as well. Last spring we changed the wallpaper and although I love the wallpaper I have been finding it hard to find fabric to co-ordinate with it.
However, as luck would have it when I was housecleaning I found some 'Toile' fabric that had faded from it's sunny spot on the veranda from red and cream to a rusty color with cream. So,out came my sewing machine and I made some pillow shams and the rest is a tablecloth on the round table. It helps to tie in the bed and the wallpaper.
These pretty tulips matched nicely as well.
It was so sunny this morning I left the door open to the veranda for awhile to enjoy the fresh air.
The bedspread, I also found at a second hand shop and it is a creamy color but I am thinking of tea dying it in 'camomile' tea to give it a little more of a golden color. The small pillow I made from an old dress from a thrift shop as well.
This picture I found in an Antique mall in Maine a couple of years ago.
The Tea set is a pretty good match too!
Slowly it is starting to come together, which is a good thing, because I was beginning to think I was going to have to admit I had made a mistake and rip off the wallpaper, when my husband wasn't home!
Good thing, as it is almost garden season!!!
Today I am joining in with Cielo, on Show Off Your Cottage Monday, and sweet Cielo did a feature of some new pics of our little sun room just off our bedroom. Thank you so much Cielo! There are also many other participants to check out there at The House in the Roses too .
Thank you for visiting

Have a good day,
Carolyn

Your bedroom is beautiful and looks so relaxing! They say that wallpaper is making a comeback, so I am glad you didn't "secretly" remove it. The muted colors are beautiful! Is your wing chair slipcovered or do you just have something draped over it? I have one in our room that I am trying to figure out what to do with.
What a beautiful day out there! Carolyn, your bedroom makeover is gorgeous! Of course, you know I adore the toile! I am on my way now over to Cielo's to see your pictures. Have a beautiful day.
Blessings,
Sandi
Everything looks gorgeous to me, Carolyn. Gorgeous. Sincerely, Susan

I love love your bedroom. You decorated it beautifully. All goes together perfect.
It has not just 'come' together, it is perfectly coordinated...and wonderfully and masterfully 'put' together! and you did it all!
sometimes things do take time to come together...but the end result might just be that much more triumphant and sweeter than if it had been easy! am I right?
your sun filled room made me want to book a getaway to your house! let me know when you're freeeeee....heehe...
ciao
What a lovely bedroom. I have had a special fondness for toile for years.
Such a cozy bedroom and decorated so nicely.
Spring is not far off - warm and sunny here today as well.

Hi carolyn, i love the wallpaper!! I think it looks so pretty!!I love the toile, it looks so romantic....Kathy
You have a veranda outside your bedroom? How wonderful! We have a main road!
Your bedroom looks beautiful. I really like what you've done with it. xx
Wow, I LOVED that bedroom. It's so beautiful.
OH Carolyn, I love everything about your master suite!! I love that it has come together over time and I love the way you were so thrifty and all encompassing on your quest to make it all coordinate! Way to go girl. It is a delicious room. I'm jealous of the door out. I have a big window that our bed is in front of and trying to convince hubby to make it a french door out to a side courtyard...bah-hum-bug...he doesn't see it quite yet.
Dear Carolyn,
Your bedroom is beautiful, so cozy! I love the wallpaper and the faded fabric you used for the table cover and pillow shams is perfect! The light coming in your room is so cheerful! I am glad you were able to open the door and enjoy the fresh spring air!
Love, Paula
