Bedside vignette (bedroom update)

I know you're probably tired of seeing this room but what I was planning to post didn't work out because it's been raining outside.

A couple weeks ago I was playing in my room and thought I'd change up the vignette on my nightstand.

 

Below is the before:

 

 

After:

 

 

I propped the toile tray against the wall instead of placing books on it. I thought it is much prettier to look at.

 

Replaced the Mackenzie Child's pitcher for a more natural vase.

 

I bought a cheap votive candle holder from walmart and with my trusty glue gun wrapped jute webbing around it. I made a few more also.

 

We had another dresser on this side of the room but I decided to try this vintage French hamper like basket as a nightstand.  I'm still searching for an alabaster lamp.

I'm contemplating stenciling some numbers on it....

 

 

I bought a seagrass rug for the end of the bed but not too sure if I like it yet. Maybe once I replace the chairs at the end of the bed.

I hope all of you had a great weekend, ours was full of fun!!! I will share before the end of the week, plus a quick cute project I did yesterday morning...it took longer for me to take everything out then to actually do it! LOL

We are leaving for Houston in 5 days and I can't wait to see my son and bring him back home!!!

Confit pot and cheese platter!!!

 I finally bought a confit pot!!!! After having a love affair for years. I purchased it off etsy and it shipped from France in less than 2 weeks all bundled up and waiting for me to unwrap!

            

 

I read somewhere you can't have just one and oh how right they were. It was quite pricey so I'll probably wait a awhile to buy another, unless I find one for a really great price.

 

First I had it beside the stove holding utensils.

Then I placed my butter platter underneath.

(One of the purchases I made while on my blog break lol)

 

 After staring at the kitchen table like this forever it seems.........(cheese platter another purchase over my break)

 

I brought the confit pot to the table and I think I like it here for now.

See those spots on the table ? Reagan spilled paint and I tried scrubbing it off. Eventually I will redo the stain on the table and probably paint the base with ASCP Graphite instead of the glossy spray paint we used a few years ago.

 

I LOVE this shot!

I hope y'all had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend.

A new lamp where I sleep

Hi all! Thank you for the warm welcome back.

 

A few weeks ago I purchased this vintage alabaster lamp off ebay. I'm still searching for another for Justin's side of the bed. The burlap shade was in the attic from the lamp downstairs with the green shade.

 

It is gorgeous!!!

Kitty thinks so too.

I haven't made any changes to our room since the makeover. Ok I made one change, I brought the basket downstairs to store decorating books beside the couch and put the other chair. I would really love to find a upholstered settee for the end of the bed.

Beautiful warm glow

Another view from outside the hall.

 

I still need to have curtains made. I already have several yards of toile fabric that matches the comforter at the end of the bed. But I'm not ready to make the commitment yet LOL The same goes for the chairs at the end of the bed that I want to have reupholstered. It is so difficult making decisions regarding fabric. Do you have the same problem? I'm going crazy!!

 

Have a happy week!

Michele
