Headboard make-over and mini tour of my bedroom. My favorite color is blue, but I also have some purple/lavender decor items that are sentimental to me, that I just can't let go of. I decided to keep my room makeover white and beige neutral with blue and lavender accents. The paint I used and always use, is free from the city recycling center. I've painted all of my furniture and my walls and kitchen cabinets with it! It has saved a bundle and helps the environment by not going in a landfill. The bedding and butterfly net were all free from Freecycle.org and match the ceiling fan shade I found at Goodwill. The beautiful dragon lily original oil painting I inherited from my parents as well as the side table underneath it. The blue and lavender peacock pattern stained glass lamp my husband and I picked from the swap-meet when we were first married and the print on the wall is our marriage license. I also showed close ups of the butterflies, some of which have blue rhinestones, and the pillowcase has a light touch of blue.

Good morning. You have many beautiful things posted here but I especially love the blue butterflies. So pretty ♥ I hope you have a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea you could get FREE paint. I have to check that out today as that is such a wonderful idea. So often I would like to paint a small item but put off doing it because I don't want to pay for the paint. Thanks for sharing this with me.

Lovely! I have several pieces of furniture that I've gotten from freecycle but keep missing the bedding ;D
ReplyDeleteAnd all my paint comes from the dump too. Although I MIGHT break down and buy the gallon that I need for our bedroom...it's such a pretty blue/green
It is a really beautiful room!
ReplyDeleteYour white kitty is gorgeous as well.
