I Cannot Wait [for spring] But Wait I Must~

{ This is not the weather for successful  projects that involve PAINTING }

 

 

 

A last minute insert here- I don't think I mentioned

but just assumed you would know the ANTIQUE

BED is F I N A L L Y getting  a paint job-No kidding-

that has been my P L A N  since 2006. I chose and

bought the paint S E V E R A L years ago...for real!

Go ahead...you can LOL

 

Well, I need a project and my Spring project has been a while coming..meaning it's been on my to do list for several years..Here's my motivation.  I'm thinking if I get it out there, admit to you all that it's as good as a commitment .  You can call me on it and hold me accountable.  Well, that sounds good don't you think. Here Goes!

For several years I have wanted to put together an all white room. The most logical is the master bedroom. My linens are already there [all white] and three pieces of furniture are a shade of white. That looks like a good beginning.The initial must do is to paint the antique iron bed and it should be relatively easy from there on.

This is not a really large room, only adequate as far as size but I think I can make it work.  What I envision is not all white...but what I call 'shades of white"..Now how soon can I get down to Lowe's and start playing with paint samples?

 

 

 

 

If you love the old, vintage, antique things as I do and cannot find a chenille bedspread that is the right size or still in good condition  Stop, don't give up on that dream. That's what we have google for ladies.   Actually I think the new one is better than any old one that may have survived.  It is heavy and comes in our sizes.  My bed, while a regular double bed size accommodates a Queen Size Mattress too. It can be altered and it's also possible to find a set of extensions to allow for the few inches difference in today's queen size bedding.  I considered this bedspread an investment purchase since I do not expect to ever, ever have to replace it. That works for me. Go for it!

 

 

 

I do love  a few pieces of good wicker in the

mix but am thinking of looking around for one
with  more presence..a few inches taller
 

 


I am planning  to lose the
small bedside table to open
up a little space.

Post Script:

 1. Did I mention the bedspread [new-9 yrs ago] is heavy? Also, In response to my blogger friend  Theresa    noticed I'm giving up a bedside table. Not to fear I have another on my side, a bit larger/   wicker  that may be swapped out with a larger wicker piece/when I find one.

2.There is more to come.  I am not ready to show you the other furniture. Later.

3. In regard to my blogger friend's desire for me to have some wonderful, luxurious ruffled curtains [ she had the beauties ] While that does not work for me I will be adding additional sheer panels in 2-3 varying shades .

In short- don't leave forever- there is more to come with this project even before the temps rise and the paint comes out!
