My Bedroom

This post has been a long time in coming. Over a year ago we were in the bay area and I was able to go into the Country Store in San Anselmo which happens to be a very sentimental shop for me. I grew up going to it with my mom and when I was to be married both my parents bought us a piece of furniture for our first home in this shop! Anyway, on our trip over a year ago I found some really neat botanical prints unframed. That year for Christmas Eric gave me the framing as my gift. The pictures sat propped up in the study for 6 months! Awful, I know, but I was nervous to hang them, worried about getting them even, would I even like them etc etc etc!

My dear, creative friend Angie helped me hang them and we did it in just over 30 minutes. It wasn't bad for being the opposite of scientific! We laughed and laughed and I mean laughed at how we did it and how awful we were at math! Here Katherine had been working on fractions and I was being faced with a real life fraction kind of dilemma! I had to include the pictures of us hanging them because we had so much fun doing it! See how careful we were, they actually turned out pretty even and straight for how we did it! And by the way I love, love, LOVE them! Also, I am so glad I went ahead and bought the headboard from Ballard Design, what a steal of a price! Love all the white, now if I could just get a dust ruffle made and the love seat reupholstered. Thanks to Pierre Deux going out of business I am going back to square one on what to recover it in! Time will tell on all of that....







I know I have posted some pics of the before and after of our fireplace, but couldn't do a post about the bedroom without putting these pictures in again....Evan worked magic to transform the fireplace, give us bookshelves and more storage and make the fireplace look like new by covering the brass!
