Room with a View.




Today l found out the exciting news that our daughter will be moving to within 600 ks of us next year... So not only will she be a lot closer, but the road to and from here is a piece of cake.... So THEN l got to thinking about how l should do something with the spare room.



 
l'll prob'ly repaint the room  when the weather warms up but for now l've redone the bed and shifted some furniture in....It seemed like a photo op....hope you enjoy the pics.



 
Some clothes l buy will never be worn, but that doesn't mean they should be locked away in a dark wardrobe....l like to hang them as wall art and enjoy them that way.



 
l reused a lace edged tablecloth as a bed throw and the mirror l've used as a tray. l rarely buy new things for the house, preferring instead to create a relaxed and  (hopefully) interesting room with my vintage finds.....this also allows me to add and subtract pieces without a lot of expense.

 


This bench seat has become the bedside table.....which should work well....not only can you fit your lamp, phone and books there.... but also the next days clothes and maybe a food tray as well.
 None of the bedding matches.......l just wanted a simple, easy, layered feel.



Someone else's inspiring vintage romantic bedroom....found here. via pinterest.

 
For the rest of the world today is the Summer Solstice, (longest day of the year) but for those of us here downunder it's the shortest and in a way that's a good thing... cos now the days can only get longer and warmer...that's right isn't it??



Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and hope you all enjoy the rest of your week.

Til next time,
Bron.

    Looking over this post again, I feel like your rooms should be featured in a Hollywood movie . . . a romance of course.

  6. Hi Bron, for some reason my emailed replies always bounce. Its always so lovely to hear from you. I have been a bit quite this end, mainly work. I haven't been treasure hunting, work is full on and my stamp jewellery is taking up a lot of my time too. It is selling well but has just added another layer of pressure.

    I always love to visit your blog, your vignettes and photos are always so lovely. It's like flicking through the pages of my reading my favourite decorating books, only better!

    I hope you are well, Tam x

    1. Hi Tam....
      Lovely that you've stopped by...yeh our crappy email program is not the most reliable, and it doesn't help that we're both so technically challenged...so sorry about that. Sounds like you've been very busy and isn't it wonderful your gorgeous stamp jewellery is selling well. Thanks for your beautiful comments...hope the rest of your weekend is relaxing and fun.
