here is another “in progress” sneak peak from my own home. With the addition of another child under age 5, we really have had to switch around rooms and beds because I am not ready to put “big brother” upstairs..
our house was built in 1941 and the upstairs is very set apart from the rest of the house..so mom was not ready to have her “big baby” up there..so we moved him in to the dining room, moved the dining room onto the porch, baby into brother’s room and brother’s “toddler” bed (which is twin) upstairs…which meant getting rid of the pretty iron bed in the BHG shabby room..but i was ready to let go of some of that girly stuff

..it has been liberating to de-pink the room and add lots of linen, blacks and white..it is stil in progress, in fact i am working on some burlap cafe curtains as we speak (to cover the window unit behind the bed..yuk) with cute ivory twill ties. Isnt that textile piece on the end of the bed so wonderful?? from a friend’s time in Uzbekistan! so stay tuned for more on this room and more on using empty frames and getting the right mix..enjoy [p.s. in case you are wondering the before shots are up top and i know many of you shabby girls willl like them best, they are after all professional photos by Colleen Duffley but i promise the bottom images will eventually yield a more updated look!;;;;) i hope! ha!
