Bedroom Makeover!

I am a bedroom person and I have always been a bedroom person. When I was 10 years old, my two favorite things were to clean my closet and rearrange my bedroom. I did both of these things frequently, unsolicited by my parents.

Now, many moons later and a few homes removed, I remain faithful to my bedroom. I love to redecorate it, but not in a big way, just in a quiet little way, moving around my vignettes of books, mirrors and vintage "vieux Paris" virgins, changing sheets, throws, pillows, to create a new perspective.

So today, I was completely inspired by the sunshine (it has been brutally cold here but at least the sun brightly shines;-) I was most inspired by an embroidered sheet I found and a Louis VIII fauteuil with fabulous fabric. I remade my bed, I moved some furniture around et voila. A bedroom with a cheery view.

Are you using a rosary as a curtain pull-back?

Yes, that's one of those vintage hand-carved wooden rosaries (chapelets in French) and in this case, from Notre Dame de Lourdes. I collect them (when I find them) and I thought it would make a great tie-back.

Hi Tracy,

I found this link to a wooden rosary on Etsy exactly like the one in my picture...
