Bedroom Goodies!

 
I've recently given my downstairs bedroom a new look..complete with hardwood floors, closet doors and new 'old' furniture! First up, this fabulous vintage dresser I found at our newly opened Goodwill. It's nice and sturdy with deep drawers and lots of chippy paint. I didn't do anything but clean it up and put fresh paper in the drawers. I truly heart it!!
 
 

Next:  One of my regular customers and friend at the flea market, gave me this wonderful print of my very favorite painting..."The Starry Night" by Vincent Van Gogh.  It's been sitting with books on top of it for weeks to flatten it out..and also because I couldn't find a vintage picture frame large enough for it until now.  I bought this one at our thrift shop and painted a couple quick coats of creamy white paint and gave it a bit of distressing.  I had plexi glass cut for it instead of glass.  I wanted it to be light on the wall and light on my head should it ever fall, since it's hung right over my bed!

One other new addition is this little desk.  It used to be an ugly dark brown and hold my TV in the living room.  I painted it, gave it an applique and new drawer pulls.  The iron chair came in from the back yard and sports romantic, beige material on it's seat.  Another picture frame redo above.  I like the look and the whole room has a soft, comfortable feel to it.

The second bedroom, also received a new hardwood floor and some much needed improvements.  Not sure what kind of decor it will have.  Right now it's an all purpose room...it stores the grand daughters toys and clothes, yet has beds for guests.  The cat eats her meals there. I'm just going to wait until inspiration hits before I tackle it!
