Do you love white? If someone was to walk through my home, they would almost get the impression that I loved white! Being a lover of romantic cottage decorating, I am loving white! And if it's shabbied up a bit, even better.
I'm sure the furniture guys thought I liked white when they delivered my new bedroom set the other day!
White coffee table and accent tables, white fireplace, etc. as they passed through the living room and down the hallway....
Wanna see?
OK, first I will show you the old set. This is over thirty years old and it was falling apart.
The headboard...
The dresser and other pieces looked like this. The colour of the headboard above is the true colour of the set. Very masculine and heavy. The mirror to the set is still in good shape so I will keep it and paint it along with the headboard. Both could be used in another room.
The new mirror. Love the curves and the beveled glass....
The new headboard...
The new dresser. I really like the hardware....
What a difference the white makes! Our room is rather small so the white furniture just brightens it right up. Now, I just have to find the perfect bedspread and curtains. The spread and curtains are quite old so it's time for new ones. I am hoping to find something in toile. I'll let you know when I find them.
I'm joining Sherry today for her Home Sweet Home meme. Thanks for hosting Sherry!

Yes, I love your new bedroom set. I am amazed at how different the old dressers look though after they've been painted white! I am even imagining how neat your old headboard would look painted white. ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh, how I love the new bedroom white set. I also love white, do not have a white bedroom set, however, it's brown but all my accessories are white, I am also a pink person. Have to have a little touch of pink everywhere. Hugs...Lu

Hi Sandi
ReplyDeleteYes, I could do white but everything we have is dark wood.
Your new bedroom set is nice, good choice and I'll bet it does brighten the room.
We still have most of our original bedroom suite and it is similar to yours.

How fun it is to get something that you have wanted for a long time! It is beautiful and we will want to see what you find for a new bedspread.
ReplyDeleteDear Sandi,
ReplyDeleteYour new bedroom looks fantastic. White furniture is really perfect for small rooms. The curtains and cushions have such a wonderful design with romantic roses. I like that very much. I hope you find again something wonderful when you buy new beadspread and curtains.
Best greetings, Johanna
Sandi, the white is just lovely. It is so fresh and gives you a whole new feel, doesn't it?
