Okay. I'm REALLY liking the red accents in this room.
I've no plans to purchase anything (and no money, which makes it easy for me not to purchase things, funny how that works...) for this room, so I am 'shopping' from home.
THGGM, who has more fashion sense than I, suggested the red bed skirt. It's an old chicken-scratch tablecloth that had been his grandmother's.
Presently, it is just folded and tucked under there, but if I like it a lot (which, so far, i do) then I will cut it in half and velcro it around the exposed edges of the bed.
I'm also thinking that the room needs a banner. Not sure if I should sew one, or make a paper one. And, then there is that thought that keeps popping up in my mind that whispers, 'pssst. judy. what about all those other projects you have to finish?'
I moved out a small white end table that had been in front of the window. It fits perfectly now in the closet of the pink bathroom. It will nicely hold towels.
Too much white just wasn't working out for me anymore. So, I moved the stack of suitcases out of our bedroom and into here. All four of them are empty, so we shall make use of some more storage.
If I can get some decent pictures, I shall post them on my Simply Thrift blog (http://www.simplythrift.blogspot.com/) because absolutely everything in this room is either an inexpensive antique find, came from the thrift store, belonged to a family member, or was had for free.
Oh! And I AM enjoying my Monday morning! The darling Jonge and Famke are home with their mommy who is through with her full-time training for her new job. And soon I shall be leaving to bring my dad home from the nursing home.
Ahhhh.., Monday! What's NOT to like about it?!
