Come into my boudoir....

Last week, I was inspired to get off my fanny and actually do some of the things I've been meaning to in my bedroom. I put a curtain rod up above each window and hung the off-white panels I've had in storage for years. I hung a picture above Tyler's dresser. But most importantly, I put into reality what has only been floating around in my head for a long time....

My "four-poster" bed! I wanted to somehow recreate that look of hanging sheers overhead without having the actual "four-posters". So I installed a curtain rod on the wall about two feet above the headboard; then came the hard part, suspending the other rod from fishing line attached to hooks on the ceiling. It took forever because I couldn't get it quite even. Finally I was satisfied with the result, and I hung my beautiful purple sheers. And voila! I love it, its so romantic.

Here's the fabulous mirror that Tyler got me for Mother's Day one year. And this is my dresser with all my girly stuff.

My jewelry 'girls' and ring slipper. Found these at a convenience store of all places!

One of the flower displays I made for my wedding. I'm still in awe that I did that, sometimes I convince myself that I could do this sort of thing for a living. But to create something based on your own likes and desires is one thing, to do it for someone else is another.

My little bedside table. It came with the matching mirror, and also a little stool. The lamp was a birthday gift from Julie, my sister-in-law, its all maroon and magenta beads. So pretty! And there's a few of my bedside reading books. All romance of course!

Here's Tyler's dresser, on 'his' side of the room. The painting above is one that I found at Value Village. Its an actual picture of the Three Sisters mountains out by Canmore. Can you believe I got that pic for $3? Does it not fit my room perfectly?

Here's my knick-knack shelf from Ikea. Top shelf is all stuff from my wedding, pictures, candles, etc. Below that is my perfume collection (in the pink bowl) and bath oils. The rest of the stuff is just various misc stuff, books, pictures, makeup cases, etc. Beside the shelf is that little stool, covered in a beautiful sarong Mom brought back from Mexico one time. And then there's the cool candle holder on the wall, its sets quite the mood.

So there's my room. Isn't it fabulous and pretty and beautiful? Thank you for visiting, now get out.

Time to light those candles...
