Looking Back

Now that I have a couple of years of posts under my belt I thought it would be fun to see what I posted around this date two years ago. So here is a post of my master bedroom and what it looked like in February 2010. It's fun to see how much it has changed. You can see the new look here.

BIRDS AND FLOWERS EQUAL SPRING..........

....in the bedroom. Yes, I have finally finished the master bedroom. I shared how I did the mirror and chest yesterday and now I can show you the rest of the room. I loved the new bird print duvet that came out at Pottery Barn and it was the lowest priced duvet I have ever gotten from there, even on sale. I thought it was a mistake at first when I saw the price, but it was right so I went ahead and bought it. I love how it just makes the room feel lighter and fresher just like the spring season does after a long winter. This year we had a very cold and snowy winter over most of the country. I am so glad that spring officially begins this Saturday. I cannot wait to start working in the yard again. After I bought the duvet and put it on the bed it wasn't quite looking right with the pillows I had. I ordered two white twill euro shams monogrammed with brown letters from Ballard's and added them in place of the tan gingham and still something wasn't quite right. So I went back to Pottery Barn and got the two bird pillow covers which are 24 inch and set them in front of the 26 inch white shams and bingo, that was it. You can't see the monograms, but this is the look I was going after. I added the burlap pillow, also from Pottery Barn, and the little french script pillow that I bought from Gina at the Shabby Chic Cottage blog etsy store. Went to a local flea market and bought a vintage platter with tiny little blue flowers on it and hung it over the mirror over the dresser. Changed out some other accessories and the room is done! I did take a lot of pictures.

If you can see the "A" monogram on the pillow case and sheet and wondering why I would have "A" on my sheets instead of "N" it is because I got a really good deal on these on ebay with the "A". I figured my middle name starts with "A" so why not.

I bought this little vintage magazine holder at a flea market over a year ago. I love when things just seem to come together  at a later time and you had no idea it was going to work out that way.

Faux painted ceiling and new ceiling fan. Old fan was brass and outdated.

This is the old platter from the flea market.

When we were in Italy I took pictures of doors on the front of buildings and framed some of them. This is a close up of one of the doors. They have such beautiful huge solid wood doors over there.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope everyone has a wonderful Springy weekend. Get out and enjoy the fresh air if the weather permits where you are. Please drop me a note and let me know you came by.

Wow, most of the things in the room have moved to other parts of the house or have been painted! Also these were taken with my old camera.

Have a great week!
