Hello Everyone,
We have enjoyed the most amazing weather here the last few days. It was sunny and 25 degrees celsuis here today.The past two days were record breaking temperatures and wiped out a lot of our snow.
Anyway, I have pictures to share of our bedroom makeover today. It was a big change for this room and for awhile I wasn't sure if it was going to come together or not but now I love it!
The toile Mare Antoinette quilt I had for a few years but used it in a different room and even in our little cottage at Christmas as some of you may remember.The gauzy cream curtains I made from fabric I bought at a thrift shop a few months ago. I love the romantic look they give the room.The gothic style mirror I bought at Homesense.
This lingerie dresser came from Coulson's in Summerside and got a few coats of paint over the brown stain that it was when we bought it.
There are lace curtains on the window but They are washed out in my photo. Our bedroom is upstairs so the door leads out onto a big balcony that you can see here.
The brass on the fireplace is going to get a couple of coats of black heat resistant paint tomorrow so it will blend in.
This is before the mirror went up.
This was the look yesterday and I still have a little teaking to do.
The pine armoire to the left has been painted too.
The dresser was pine before and we had it for several years.I think it was a good change.
Well,what do you think -do you like it?
I am joining French Country Cottage for Feathered Nest Friday and My Romantic Home for Show and Tell Friday today.
Thank you for visiting,
Carolyn

I like it all very much! I've been loving the white look for ages, but it takes so much work that I haven't done much about it. You have some wonderful features in this room. That screen door is one of them. Love your gauzy curtains, and the new mirror too! You must be so excited for spring!
BRAVO, dear Carolyn!
What an AMAZING transformation - you have done an absolutely wonderful job with this gorgeous room.
WOW!!
Seriously, I am already packing my bags.
Extraordinnaire, je pense! Tres magnifique!
Hi Carolyn,
Welcome back! I'm so glad you're doing well, my friend. It's still winter here. Ugh!
Love the new look - so fresh and it makes the room seem even more spacious. What did you do with the 2 doors that were behind your bed - the ones from Restore? Send 'em my way, would ya?! Ha! Now, is that a painting of Andrew on the tile on the fireplace? Lol I know how you like your details, so I would not be surprised! :-) The painted white pieces unify the room and I think it is all gorgeous. For some reason, I am craving a marshmallow...Dreamy! Sigh.
Hugs,
Linda
Wow I love your bedroom makeover it is just beautiful, I would love to have a fireplace in my bedroom, we have one in the formal lounge but it is not very common to have a fireplace here let alone in a bedroom.
I love it !!! Your bedroom is gorgeous...Don't you just love coulsin's I was in S'Side today and didn't even get there , maybe next time...Blessings Lori
Carolyn,
Your bedroom was pretty before, but wow it is so stunning now. I love how it came out. I don't know if I would have had the courage to paint the pine, but love how yours came out.
Hugs,
Donna

Carolyn, your room looks so light, airy, and fresh. Romantic too. I love the painted furniture and a change is always a good thing! Thanks for sharing and enjoy the weekend.
Blessings,

I think this is the most beautiful bedroom I've ever seen. I love everything about it, and the room itself is ideal for the decor...the screen door and the wonderful vintage wood floor. Beautiful! Thanks for letting us see it!
It looks beautiful and so serene, Carolyn! I did like it the other way as well, but I can understand how you feel having lived with oak and pine for a long time. Our move was a great incentive to make a change to our decor.
I LOVE the look, Carolyn. Just love it. And that mirror! Wow wow wowsers. I would snatch that up in a minute. Great job! Susan
Beautifully romantic, Carolyn! I love all the texture on texture you have in there. It must be so nice to have a balcony to welcome the day on! :)

Do I like it???? Are you kidding? I love it! It's gorgeous!
Your bedroom looks gorgeous! Great makeover!
Carolyn, it's amazing and stunning and creative and calm and the best little sanctuary I've seen, and, and, and.....Bravo! Thank you for always sharing the beauty.
Your bedroom is lovely! Wonderful makeover :)
I think your bedroom is just so calming and gentle. I did go over to your other to have a look at what it was like before and I loved that so much too. Infact I thought I liked that more but on clicking back I love the new one equally as much.

Hi Carolyn
I love the makeover, it gives the room a dreamy look that is so appealing. It was nice before, but you've made it even better.
Judith
Absolutely beautiful!
Oh your bedroom re-do is amazing and should be in a magazine. I am a little bit jealous. I would love to redo my bedroom over in white cottage style. Bravo to you and your blog is lovely too!
Hej Carolyn.
Hvor er det smukt.
Kh Matgrethe
ciao Carolyn, la tua camera è un sogno...buon week end Lory
And I thought your bedroom was lovely before - now it looks awesome!
Hope you'll have a nice weekend.
Love Elzie
Looks fantastic....well done! Very soft and romantic. I have the exact mirror from Homesense as well, I too have an ivory room and it hangs over my bed. Diane
This is an incredible makeover. I love it. I am so glad that you are back. I really missed you last week.
Your bedroom looks lovely - perfect for hot summer days. You are so lucky to have that lovely balcony right outside - great place to eat breakfast or spend a summer afternoon with a book.
Wow, what a makeover. It looks so romantic and ethereal Carolyn.
Paul
Wow Carolyn, What a difference paint can do.... just a wonderful transformation. Your before picture was lovely but this is more me.... I love it!
Everything you touch looks like it came out of a magazine... I think you should have a book with all your photos for inspiration. Every post you do is so romantic and beautiful.
Have a Great Evening~

Simply delightful!! I am always amazed and oh so very impressed when people tackle entire room makeovers. Your bedroom is absolutely lovely and I am sure it is everything you envisioned it to be. Beautiful!!
Hi Carolyn, I love the new look for your bedroom. It's very romantic, bright, fresh and airy. How's that for a description! I like that you painted the pine furniture white. Love the old commode stand by the bed! Hugs, Pamela
Hi Carolyn,
The bedroom makeover is looking fabulous! I like the white shade of paint you´re using, it´s not too bright. The mirror over the bed is beautiful. Nice to do a room over and freshen things up. Although, I very much liked the "before" too ;)
Are you still having 25 degrees Celsius? Wonderful! We are having lovely spring weather around here, 13C and very sunny!
Have a great weekend,
Sanna
Beautiful. I love the the soft colors, bedspread and overall feel of this room! That screen door is to die for.
Carolyn I love, love, love your bedroom!
It is magazine feature-worthy.
Just beautiful the way you have decorated this cozy haven.
I love all the whites too...simply beautiful.
The wood floor perfects it all!
It must be easy falling to sleep in that dreamy spot.
Blessings friend!
All my heart,
Deborah xoxo
Carolyn, I really like your bedroom makeover. It seems like it would be a wonderful retreat each evening and morning. I love your balcony off your room, too. How pleasant is that! Thank you for sharing. So happy to know you are feeling better.
Gorgeous. Gorgeous. Gorgeous. I love it! Thank you for sharing it at Feathered Nest Friday! (Did I tell you it was gorgeous yet? ;)
I'm so torn - I love both looks. Either way, you have one of the most gorgeous bedrooms I've seen in a long time. Well done!
