Black & White Country Bedroom Update

Spent a little time fluffing up the Black and White (French) Country bedroom today...It is kinda losing it's "French" along the way oops...This room was (is) my eldest daughters, though now she has moved out of home, it is where our guests get to stay...You can see how the room looked before I fluffed it up today by clicking here

I finally got around to sanding the head board a little, giving it that lovely shabby chic finish...alas before I finished the foot of the bed, I ran out of sandpaper being I could only find half a sheet to begin with.

This is the view as you enter from the hallway...

Behind the mirror hides the flat screen TV...The lovely looking vintage chair in the right bottom corner is actually husband's computer chair covered with a vintage style lace table cloth and a cute golden pillow...I keep begging hubby to upgrade to a laptop but he declines, so plan B is getting him a computer Armoire to hide his ugly old computer, which has now also been moved into this room to free up the old "guest room" to become lil Sara's bedroom.

View from other side of the bed...

I got this little cherub a few weeks ago from Orlando. I have since given him a little glaze/drybrush treatment with burnt umber and then another over coat of vintage white to add some definition to the details and give him a little bit of a vintage look....

This is what he looked like when I brought him...stark white..

I still need to finish the lamp shade. It is currently just pinned together and I want to paint the base as well...As you can see I have begun to bring my porcelain dolls into this room also...

This would be the biggest change to the room...I finally found a round piece that fits the bed netting perfectly...The netting I have had since my eldest was a baby, it was over her crib and bed as she grew up...Over the years the plastic frame that held it up disintegrated...I am so happy to finally be able to put it back where it belongs...

And finally the white "doily" pillow case...This I have also had for years and it came from my mother...I paired it with a pink under pillow case to add an even more of a girlie touch to the bed...

I hope this is enough to Wow Us Wednesday over @ http://savvysouthernstyle.blogspot.com/
