In my last house, I wanted to make our bedroom have a cottage feel to it. We had just come back from a bed and breakfast and had really enjoyed getting a way. So, I wanted our room to feel special.
The first thing I did was put the curtains up. I bought laced curtains at the thrift store and mixed matched them. I found the yellow end table and wicker chair at the thrift store too. I paid $40.00 for both and then painted them these colors.
Next, I was looking for a specific chair when I found this one. It was exactly what I was looking for and I paid $40.00 for it.
Here's the new look in our seating area.
I painted the rest of our furniture, in green and turquoise. I also painted some of the little things in our room, to bring out those colors. I spray painted everything. I love the turquoise. I found the yellow lamp at a thrift store for $15.00.
We found the screen door at Habitat for Humanity. It was missing the hardware, so we got it for $25.00. I painted it green too. I found the bedspread at a thrift store for $40.00 and it was brand new. I went to Target and found the same one for over $100.00.
Here's the only picture I could find of it painted.
In the bathroom, I put a shabby chic shower curtain that I found for $3.00.
I had wanted to do this style for a while, but was afraid how my husband would feel about it. He actually liked it, once he saw it all together.
