I know I have been quiet lately on my thrifty chic finds. I have a big giant enormous and amazing project that I can post a week from Monday. I have been totally redecorating Catherine's bedroom and she does not want to see it until she gets back from her visit with her Dad so I promised no pictures online. I think this will be one of my favorite rooms that I have ever done - I love everything in this room, from rug to chandelier!!
I am almost done with everything - will finish painting the case pieces and making the upholstered headboard tomorrow. I think everything will be ready for her by Friday and that gives me 3 days if there are any oh nos before her flight arrives on the 28th.
So I have started to turn my thoughts to my next project. I have bought most of the major pieces and now I need to just go and finish each room 1 by 1. I am debating the playroom or my bedroom next. I was at a bit of a loss on my bedroom. My ex and I bought the fontana line from Broyhill years and years ago and I am very tired of it and honestly I have changed so much of my life, I need to update my bedroom to reflect who I am (ok so I have gotten rid of just about every single thing from when I was married - it is cathartic really it is lol) but that was going to be a big investment. So then I thought hmmmmmm paint it all white and do all white furniture, bed etc which has a certain appeal to it. Also the black cat fur always breaks that up and keeps it from being too monotonous and pristine.
Well today while I was working on Catherine's fabulous headboard I thought hmmmmmmm don't I have a bunch of toile from Pierre Deux that I got for a steal on ebay - seriously I think it was right around 40 for this $500 cut of fabric.
Yup 5 yards of Aumont Toile . . .
Hmmmm maybe I should hop on the band wagon and have a upholstered headboard too . . .
Here is a beauty from Pierre Deux for $1895 . . .
Another stunning example - this one from Horchow
Anthropologie for $995
Hmmmmm maybe I am on to something - time to go scouting for a king sized headbord to transform . . .
