A darling bedroom.

Hello everyone!  I thought I'd share some pictures of my sweet girl's bedroom.  Not that she sleeps in it or anything, but that's another post.  

I recently re-arranged and re-decorated along with organizing and de-cluttering this space.  

She has two beds in this room.  The twin belonged to my husband when he was a boy, and the double bed was my great-great-grandparents' bed.  They moved to Louisiana from France around the turn of the century.  

I decided to hang plates above both beds to tie them together for a more cohesive look.

This is "Penelope" from Pottery Barn.  I just love birds and so does my sweetie.  

I love the stripes and polka-dots.  

I added this quilt to the foot of the twin bed.  It was my husband's great-grandmother's who sewed it in the 1920s.  This yellow was very popular in the 20's.

This dresser belonged to Caroline's great-great-great grandparents.  It's been re-painted.

These are my no-sew curtains.  Just hot glue.  I loved the fabric.  Found it at Hobby Lobby three years ago. 

I wanted to hang her art and some sentimental pieces so I decided the wall above the TV would be a good spot for a "gallery."

I made her this for her Paris Birthday Party this year.

This was purchased in St. Augustine.  She rode this carousel every day, and I found this painting in a shop that was painted by a local artist. 

My mom and dad bought this print at a gas station when they were expecting their first child (me!) and were still newlyweds.  They colored it together.  

I've saved it all these years. 

I painted this on her wall to match the PB quilt on her bed.  

I painted this when this room used to be a nursery.  I sang this song to her every day and every night as I rocked her to sleep.  

I can't imagine painting over it.  But there is probably going to come the day when she is going to want me to.

Summer flowers

After returning home from our trip to Ohio, I could not wait to unpack all of my new treasures and start re-decorating.  Honestly, whenever we return from a trip, my suitcases go into the bedroom, and then I unpack the new stuff I bought, start moving furniture around the house and creating new vignettes.  Strange?  I don't think so.  haha!

So here are a few of the new things I bought in Amish Country a few weeks ago.  And don't you just love summer time?  I picked these flowers from my front yard, the side of the road and by my brother's pool.  Gorgeous if I have to say so myself.  

Don't you just love this vase?

At night, the lights are so cozy.  And don't you just love lanterns?

Kitchen

Two years ago, or so, I was asked by Kim at Savvysouthernstyle to post some pictures of my kitchen.  It's taken a while, but here it is.  

Our cabinets were custom-built, by Dixie Cabinetry in Springville, AL.  I requested a mantel over the stove.  I bought the plate in St. Augustine at the Columbia.

I requested a brick floor when we were building this house.  We had to go to five different Lowe's stores to get enough of this brick because it was being discontinued.  But I love it.  

The cabinets were painted white with a chocolate glaze and antique brass hardware. 

I also wanted plate racks.  So handy!

That's my daughter's hand-print on the plate.  The artist turned it into a rooster.  What a good idea!

My favorite granite is "Mahogany Blue Eyes."  United Surfaces in Springville, AL did our kitchen, bathrooms, and the brick and tile floors. 

Below is the bar.  We eat most of our meals there.

This door leads into the pantry.  And this is also Caroline's corner of the kitchen.  Her little kitchen was made by her great-grandfather in the 1950's.  She loves it.  I hung her artwork and a picture of her and her cousin on the wall above it. 

And this was a piece of furniture that my mom gave me.  I took the doors off of the top of it and had it painted to match my cabinets.

These french doors lead out to the back porch.  

Hope you enjoyed the kitchen tour.  Have a great week everyone!
