This is the last look at the white bedroom for a while. You have been so sweet to encourage me. The bedroom has many small details left, but I want to enjoy searching for them. For example, I want a very narrow, but long *distressed* bench at the end of the bed for the coverlet at night - maybe in a chippy-weathered gray? I'll be sewing pillow shams; buying a white woolen throw for the foot of the bed; and accessories like those ice skates pictured below, etc. I left these coffee-colored sheets on the bed for the photos, but I'll use white most of the time.
The Cost: Baroque Sconces-ten years old; Picot Hemstitch Cal-King bed skirt $60.00 at Target; Matching king pillowcase set $50.00; Cal-King 300 count Quilted Coverlet - regularly $250.00 was $64.00 on clearance at JCPenny Home; Tables with beautiful real marble tops (free) - just painted them - pictured *before* below; Ceramic dog - purchased with home. Next Post will be a *no gimmicks* GIVE-AWAY!!!

Hi Janean! It's been a crazy week, and I'm just now catching up on my favorite blogs. Your bedroom is lovely! Thanks for sharing all your white goodness, Becky
Reeeeeallly LOVE your blog!!! Those old iceskates are tugging at my heartstrings!!
Janean, Hi! I found your blog when I was visiting Cindy. I like your blog. I did our master bd last yr. I like cream walls with white furniture. I had this antique dresser I got for free. And I painted it cream in your coffee color. Then I was at TJMax I found these two night stands almost identical color as I painted the dresser! I like your collage, the lab dog in the corner reminds me of my lab mix. Thanks for the wonderful! giveaway. Please add me to your Santa list! I've been naughty but I sure would enjoy the giveaway! duenml@comcast.net
Oh what a wonderful place to sleep. That headboard is absolutely fabulous! I love it. You must dream great dreams in this bedroom!
