A Frugal Country Bedroom Fix-up..

Hello my dears...

Good Morning to you .. Just wanted to share my weekend project with you all..

I love our bedroom... Oh.. there are bigger and better but this one is ours and it is one of my favorite rooms here at home.

HOWEVER, it needs a little fixing up.. Kinda stuck in the the same rut for a few years so yesterday and today I am striving to give it a facelift.  A frugal one....lol...

Here is what it looks like before I started working on it yesterday.. I guess you could call it the BEFORE pic...

Remember I am not doing major reno... just a bit of tweaking...lol

I still love the paint and the border that Shonda (our daughter) did a while ago...She stamped on the border with 3 square sponges..And it only took her a couple of hours.. The DEAR girl...

The candle chandolier needs a little tweaking as does the old rocker.. 

And some new or different bed coverings..

 It is a water bed as I had mentioned before..Remember? 

Terry built a base for it so it quite high.. I love it.. But it requires king size bedding..

This is an old wardrobe that Terry redid for a quilt cupboard.. I love the country look but I think this needs another coat of antiquing and redone some to look more prim..

I am not sure what to do with it..

New drawer pulls and knobs...

Right?  We shall see...

A small corner wall that I love and  won't change..

It is a sweet reminder that I wake up to each day..

But some other wall changes are needed...

Then...

Perhaps change some chairs around..

I did not take any more pics of the dressers and such for now..

Anyway... this is what I am working on and you can check back on Monday or Tuesday to see how I make out... ok?

Hopefully, I  will complete my weekend project..

With that in mind I did a little surfing the web and found some inspiration the other day..

These pics are mostly country style... I love prim but there are some wonderful ideas here..

Most are from the Country Living Site

The old pieces here are beautiful..

I love old quilts and antiques...

I love the bookshelves which I need ... I picked an old one up at the thrift the other day... It is only small but I want to paint it and fill with books.. I have books everywhere..

Do you girls have a lot of books?

In this I loved the old planter at the foot of the bed..

My mother has one... maybe she is tired of it, eh?  lol...

No.. I don't  have room...

Nice, though...

Lots of pillows .....

The little stand.... the old trunk...

Another old stand, books, old white porcelain pieces. pics on a rack...

My friend Tammy's bedroom.. I love the bedding and the cushions..

I love her fireplace, too... Tammy is very  prim..

Also.. she is very talented and does most of the renos herself..

I am not that smart .. I NEED Terry for anything of major redo.

But this time I am just wanted to give it a bit of a facelift and am on my own.. smile.. 

Our bedrooms should be sweet and cozy and clean, of course.

Now I must confess that if there is any room in the house that needs constant attention it is OUR ROOM...

I was wondering why that was as I am dusting down the spider webs and picking up books and stuff..

Then it came to me... This is a room that I live in... I use it a lot..

Not only for sleeping but relaxing in.. 

Therefore, I need to give it more attention in the future.. So if I get it all spiffed up I will be more motivated.... smile...

I hope so anyway.. 

I wanted to thank all you sweet ones for commenting on my last posting.. I appreciated it.. And I called my Mom and read them all to her.. She really enjoyed that so thank you so much.

Also... I would like to welcome any new followers...

If you have a blog please let me know...

Don't forget to check in next week for the AFTER pics..lol..

Have a wonderful blessed weekend and don't forget to take your families to church tomorrow...

Blessed be the Name of the Lord...
