A GROOVY BEDROOM or aka A Bedroom Getting Her Groove On.....

When the seasons change, I, like most of you, like to change things up in my rooms.

Usually the first room I want to work on is my bedroom.

I LOVE my bedroom in the SUMMER HOUSE so much...

it's so big...and roomy....and comfortable.

I just love it.
All thru the summertime, I used the beautiful color of TURQUOISE
for my accent color....such a COOL, summer color.

My basic foundation colors in ALL MY ROOMS
is black and white....
checks...
stripes...
polka dots...
toile....
doesn't matter to me as long as it's BLACK AND WHITE.

I nearly always have just a touch of red...
or sometimes, a LOT of red.

Red is such a lifting color and it can also be a "I feel a little naughty"  color that doesn't hurt anyone to have.     ;>)
...not to mention that it's a warm color
so perfect for wintertime.

My favorite piece in the whole wide world is that shelf back there...
my sweet Mr. Sweet made for me.....
dressed in black and white stripes....trimmed out in a hint of RED.
SO WHAT if we copied MACKENZIE*CHILDS....
and Mr. Sweet's is MUCH MUCH BETTER. :)

I love turquoise so much and a little bit of it will show up from time to time
in this bedroom  winter dress of BLACK, WHITE and RED.

Other than just liking the looks of black and white, 

absolutely ANY COLOR under the sun looks good with it...

P.S. Those amazing shelves in the background....
a whole wall of them...
$85 at the local thrift store
a few years back.
I was so happy and thrilled when I found them, I am not over it to this day.
One of my favorite thrift finds, EVER.

OK...back to the 

"reconstruction of a bedroom without tearing out walls and ripping up carpet"



...just a new pair of huge gold earrings..
a LOT of bright red lipstick and
a little perfume behind her ears..

♥

I am going RED....

RED on my BED...

it's a much warmer color for the fall and winter....

it's a snuggly color....
an uplifting color....

First came the black and white french door roll-up fabric shades....
I used these in our olden house and because I kept the colors there in
BLACK AND WHITE
they are gonna look great with my new bedding....
These doors have the blinds inside the double glass but these shades
are so .......CUTE...:)

 NEXT came the BED SKIRT FROM HELL

  I mean, just LOOK at it...it favors a brides long flowing train...
 

...a beautiful, FULL, 2 LAYER made of 100% cotton...
and
we ALL know what 100% cotton does....
WRINKLE...

yes, I read that it was made of cotton...
and yes, I knew it had the 18" ruffle with another ruffle under it....

It just never crossed my mind that when that KING SIZE ruffled, cotton bedskirt
was stuffed into a tiny box that I would be pressing,taking a sip or two of wine,  cussing,
to heck with the "sips" of wine, bring on the BOTTLE...
 crying, and stomping
before I could wrestle it onto that big bed of mine.
 WHAT..?? Did I think it would be in a box the size of a KING bed..?
WHEW...

  but.....we got it.

I say "WE" 'cause it took Mr. Sweet, son, David and moi to get it all on there.

but it's wrinkle-free (for now)
and it touches the floor on both sides and I'm happy.
I've always had the 15" drop and it was never touching the floor like I wanted.

I chose WHITE so it will go with ANY bedding in the future...and I won't have to TAKE IT OFF...!! 
EVER ....in fact, that sucker may never even get washed !!

I still have a few things to add before my room 
totally has her groove on...
new black lampshades for my clear glass Pier 1 Lamps..

maybe something new for the wall over the bed
(I am going to try shopping the house first, tho)

I will work on it all this coming week because I am sooo excited to
FINALLY get all the bedding together.
(I've been working on it for over 2 years and I'll tell you the story
in the next installment of BEDROOM GROOVE...!!

 I can never seem to stop without leaving a sweet for you to enjoy..
♥

Oh, yes...I LOVE homemade pies so much better than store bought frozen....

but...

I sure do like to have one in the freezer for a 

get-it-out- of-freezer

spread a little butter on top...

sprinkle a bit of sugar....♥

lightly dust empty the container of CINNAMON on top of all that

and slide it in the over.

 GOOD....

BETTER...
