Bedroom Chair and Sneak Peek

Now that our bedroom chair has been featured in my giveaway button, I thought I'd tell you about its' transformation.  Also, this post will give you a sneak peek into our master bedroom makeover.  I know sneak peeks are a tease, but there's still more to be done.  A little at a time...

I did end up recovering the chair seat with a white cotton/linen blend fabric and finishing the edges with nailhead trim.  Did you know you can get this great trim at JoAnn's Fabrics?  It comes in a strand, and every 5th nailhead has a tiny hole where you hammer in a nail (with head) over it.  It's easier than hammering in many individual nails. 

The frames on the floor will end up in the room somewhere.  Still debating a place...
The gold frame holds a heavy old vintage mirror which is very distressed.  My husband wondered about it, but I explained that there was an article in a recent Jeanne D'Arc magazine instructing us on how to transform a new mirror to look that way.  He just shook his head.

   
I had fun making this 'Bonne Nuit' sign, based on a similar one I've seen in Ludmil and Linda Marcov's home (I save all magazine articles about their style!).  This glittered star was from a local florist, and bids sweet dreams...

Here's a 'before' pic of the $15 thrift store chair, as I was taking it apart:

Blessed Mother...

These curtains had already been made for this window, so I decided to stencil a '1939' design on them.  It's the year our house was built.

Here's a peek through my bureau mirror, looking at the white wardrobe. 

On the back of the bedroom door...

Hope you enjoyed this initial peek.  I've still got a sidetable to paint and lampshades to cover, then hopefully I'll reveal the room sooner than later.
