~AHHH...BEDROOMS...~

We spend so much time in our bedrooms..and I sometimes wonder if we even realize how much.

I know I didn't until lately. 

I love this little room..

Tiny teapot for fresh flowers, and some favorite magazines.. 

The crocheted white afghan was an ebay find for just $10 and I love it!  It is a perfect weight and so soft.
The tiny hooked pillow was something my daughter, Maryalice was going to get rid of ..I rescued it.
The tray was handpainted by Roses and Relic's on ebay.  Bea's things are everywhere in my home.

The roses entwined on the headboard are very old and made of some really interesting material.

A thrift store find.  Vintage Flair here in Riverside.  Tanza and Marydon visited it with me.

I keep scarves in the boxes. 

Notice the bi fold door on my bathroom?  What a time I had getting used to that!

The bedroom set is by Bob Timberlake.  I have had it about 15 years is all. 

 

The photo of the little toddler is my Sandy.

The quit rack is another garage sale item that I painted a long time ago...and the quilt on it is a thrift store find.  Most everything in this room is second hand.  Except the bedspread. 

(notice how neatly the pillow is placed! lol)

Me in one of my old hats that I have collected.

 

 

Mirrored closet doors help give the room a feeling of spaciousness.

 

This old trunk was found in the attic of my best friends home.  She didn't want it so gave it to me.

I repapered the inside after days of sitting in the sun..

I have had it about forty years now.  It is filled with baby books, and keeps sakes from my babies tiny years.  I found a key for it by going to a locksmith and he allowed me to take a huge ring of keys home and try until I found one.  Then I took the ring of keys back to him and paid a quarter for the tiny key.  People have been so kind to me in my life. 

I am grateful.

 

And lastly.. 

...and this is a picture of my "haunted" mirror.  Or at least I call it that.  After three tries, I was finally able to download one of the three photo's of it.  Each picture of the mirror has a different marking on it.  Sometimes an X, sometimes a oval and sometimes a sort of smiling face.  It only allowed me to show this one.  I have no idea where this mirror came from.  It somehow ended up in my two son's first apartment, someone gave it to them, and was painted light green at one time.  My son Mike refinished it..and gave it to me.  Once while it lay on my bed, a bolt of electricity went from one end to the other..making my girlfriend and I jump back. 

Why do I still have it?.  :)  Oh...who knows.  It's just a thing that stays around .and I like it.

I treat it with great respect!!

S'bedtime!  So g'nite!
