You wouldn't think that I would have one more thing to say about my master bedroom!
But, alas, just one more thing!
I want to share with you my latest acquisition - and I am thrilled to death!!
Yesterday, I went to an antique store that I have been going to for years. Immediately to my left, as I walked in, I saw this treasure pushed under a table and I got that feeling. You know, that feeling that you just stumbled across something perfect and if you walk away without it you will have huge buyers remorse!
Believe it or not I walked away! Came home and immediately turned around and went back. When I walked in there was this lady with tape measure in hand, measuring my treasure! The nerve!
Well, I had time to ask if the dealer would take any less - you know you have to ask - but, irregardless, I wasn't leaving without it!
I have been wanting one for years! And, this one has character! I can't make out all the words - what I can make out is this - SANTORIO PREMIUM BLEND COFFEE. Even if I didn't like it at the end of my bed, and by the way, I love it at the end of my bed, I thought what a perfect coffee table it would make!

Now, the only question remaining - What to put in it! Oh, I'll find something!

Hugs,

Cindy

I hope that everyone is having a restful Sunday!

I thought that I would share with you all my Master Bedroom.

I have totally re-done it over the last 6 months or so.

Initially, I had decided that I just wanted to re-paint my room.

I fell in love with Rhoda from Southern Living's Master Bedroom paint color.

She used a Sherwin Williams color called Blonde and I knew the minute that I saw it that it was the color for me!

I had a really nice Ralph Lauren bedding set and thought that once the walls were painted I would just incorporate the wall color into an article of bedding.

I had my daughter-in-law on the look out for a quilt that was similar to the wall color.

One day I got a call from her that she had found 2-3 different possibilities. After work I was on my way to see what she had found. Well, nothing that she had found was really what I had in mind. As I was trying to explain to her and show her the color that I was looking for, I found this Tommy Hilfiger comforter with the exact color in it!

Now, I'm going to tell you that I am a blue girl through and through. The background color of this quilt was something that I would have never looked for for myself. Needless to say, that because it had my exact wall color in it I had to have it! I met my friend Stacey from Poofing the Pillows for dinner that night and she loved it - at which point I knew that it was a keeper!!

I am also the kind of person that has to have everything coordinate. I want the matching sheets, dust ruffle, shams and throw pillows.

Well, I was able to get the matching sheets (2 sets!) and the Euro Shams. For the first time in my life I have pieced together the rest. It was just this last weekend at Kohl's that I found the needlepoint pillow and the 2 white pillows with the embroidered 'C' on them. They were pillows from a Chaps set that I had been eyeing because I knew that they would match. I found them on sale - even better, and of course, it doesn't hurt that my name is Cindy!

I really love how my room has turned out!

I love going to sleep and waking up in what I consider to be a haven!

This is a look from the door as you enter my room. Now, I do have to admit that I have one thing left to do and that is tackle my wall of windows! I have an idea of what I want to do and I am pretty sure that it will involve some plates above the windows in addition to the window treatments!

As far as I am concerned, a girl can never have to many pillows!

And of course, I love my plates!

This is my bedside table. I love my little 'It's a Wonderful Life' sign.


Here is a close up-

This is my dresser. The 2 pictures I just bought this past Wednesday at my favorite store TJ Maxx!!

A close up of the dresser. I just love those beads around the candles!

My entertainment center.

Love the sentiment on the little pillow!
Let's take a look inside.
As you enter my room this is immediately on your left and across from the bed.

Again, a closer look. My mother tells me that I need to simplify and get rid of the 'clutter/stuff' that I have on top of everything. I simply couldn't do it! I love to be surrounded by the things that I love!
Well, that's pretty much it!
I enjoyed sharing my room with you!
Hugs,
Cindy
