I made the mirror from and old mirror that I found in a thrift shop for $7, I will post about that later! The shells came from our vacation to Seaside over spring break! I found a great inspiration piece while on vacation and decided to try to make my own version. It is very heavy!! I moved the table up from the family room and put this $3 garage sale chair with it.
Love this tag my sister gave to me, she knows where my heart is.....
I leaned this old shutter against the wall on top of my lingerie dresser with my garage sale candle sticks.We have cathedral ceilings in here and I try to use that space in a creative way. My sister made the nest sign, I just had to have it in our "love nest"!! Hee heee!
His and Hers nightstands were repurposed from old tables that I repainted, and the lamps I have had forever, just waiting to feel like they belong in a dreamy space! I think they finally feel like they are part of our clique!
Everything in our home has a story, this pillow was made by my sister, she actually tossed it to me at her house one day saying "take it, I was just practicing on that one!" I had to ask her what Reve meant, apparently I have never dreamt in French!
This table was in my grandparents house for years, I have photos of me as a baby with it in the background, I gave it a coat of white paint this past winter. Reminds me of my grandmother and her great curvy legs!
Ahhh....this is where we lay our precious little heads........and where my hubby tells me to turn over because I am snoring!!! Oh no!!!!! Does that come with age too?????
These gorgeous draperies were a gift from my little nieces for my 40th! Their other fabulous aunt could not use them so they bartered with her and gave them to me!!!! I am so lucky!!!

These prints hang on the wall between our windows. I found the upper frame/photo at Iron Grate's sidewalk sale! And the lower frame I have had for a few years, I printed off a botanical shell print from vintage printable.com and put it in here.
Love my Shabby Chic ruffled sheets with my matelesse comforter, just right for summer!
At the same sale that I purchased this $3 chair, I also bought a gorgeous vintage chandy for $5, now I am just trying to find a place for it!
Thought you might like to see the gorgeous pleats on my new draperies
So as you can see, I really only purchased a few gallons of paint in order to make this transformation. I already had the bedding, furniture and accessories. All I needed was 2 gallons of Dove White by Benjamin Moore and my I got the look I have been trying to achieve for so long! Remember my room had very dark brown walls, my hubby has to sleep here during the daytime so I had to make it kind of cave-like! I have to thank to my sweet man for helping me create our dreamy getaway! He actually likes it too!!! That is very important in creating a space that you BOTH can relax in!

Oh my!! How beautiful. I love the bedding and drapes. Where did you get them?
It's simply stunning! Love it all! Especially the smocked drapes! We went road tripping through Michigan in November and happened upon The Iron Grate. Wow! Awesome store!!

Where do I start?! It's so dreamy and pretty! You really pulled it off beautifully ~ I love every element of it, especially the two side lamps with the tables.
I'm glad too that your hubby loves it just as much - I know that's important but I don't always implement it!
Take care!

Wow! That was worth the wait to see this place done! You did a great job. I really love the little buttoned shade on the lamp. Soooo cute. Love the detail at the top of the draperies too. It's really all those little items that add up to one big punch of design, isn't it? I am now hooked on ShabbyChic sheets too. It's a sickness...lol Diana

Ohhhhh sooooo pretty!!! I just adore that lampshade with the buttons on it! Did you make it? Where can I buy one? Oh, and does your sister have Lettered Threads Etsy store? I bought my 'Reve' pillow slip from her and just adore it! And there are no better sheets than the ones from Simply Shabby Chic! I've got the ruffled ones, too. Thanks for the tip on vintage printables! I'm anxious to check that out. :)
