New Bedroom

minnie pal · **Posted: 10-11-2009 , 02:10 PM** #1

My new bedroom...

- First pic: you can see the flatpack chest of drawers on top of which is a cane gizmo bought in charity shop and painted cornflower blue, it holds jewellry. also on top is the blanket box. these form the 'divider' to mark off two areas in bedroom.

- Top of blanket box two lovely pics used as mats bought in charity shop on top of which is a poole bud vase, car boot and others from charity shops. the flatpack drawers have decals made from the flowers of the wallpaper over the bed, blue handles E1 from Lenihans, capel street. tray beside bed from dunnes, has 'feet' for bed and lined with wallpaper and sealed, lamp from charity shop

- Long side ruffled pillar lamp from dunnes, gives off sharper light than smaller lamp. glass shelves 'found' bits on top, car boot. CD box, car boot. cushions, charity shops, dog - member of family! just a feaure wallpaper Image 2 sees the top of blanket box and beyond into 'office space.

- Two views of old blind covered in thin fabric from Ikea, old blind trim used again and a necklace, broach and tassle from charity shops.

- End of bed shows a sari which has been half sewn to form a runner and also cushions from charity shops, laminate wardrobe painted white, boxes on top part of set from Gumtree, great buy.

Well done, minnie pal, love the flowers on the drawers and the whole room looks so co-ordinated. Amazing what a bit of imagination can achieve!

Well done it's great to see the end product. I'm starting my daughters room on Monday it's a surprise for xmas. God Help me. I know what I want but will it work. I'm starting with a blank Canvas really. it's a room upstairs that's never been used. So A friend is going to help I'll send the results when it's done.

marymac, if the redecorating is a surprise great. If the kids know about it, do get them involved as they have to sleep and spend time in it. especially about colour, i think everyone has an idea of what they can live with and what they cannot.

best of luck. No, didnt really enjoy doing this project as the body wasnt very willing but i am pleased enough with the result but not the pics, they are woeful.
i see a friend tomorrow and ask her if she will take better ones, she who got photographer of the year when graduating.
all the best with redecorating and diy, may this hoose be my last and may i now get down to my writing and photography with gusto.
A delightful visitor on my bird feeder today was a Great Tit.
yep, the stuff of life really!!!

Hi Minnie Pal. She knows I'm doing it but does not know when. She has told me the colours so I've them got. There is no way I would get her involved I'd def have a headache after it and it would never be done.

Rather you than me, phew, glad its nearly done for me.

Hi minniepal well I got started today with many thanks to a good friend of mine. I have to say I've got so many ideas from this before and after forum it's great. I'll post the pic when done. Second coat will be done on Thurs friend is coming back to help I was half ways through when i realised I never took a before pic but it really was a blank canvas anyway. Been in the house 9 years and never needed the room til now.
