Painted furniture, painted bedroom

Hooray, Cecily will be back home from university, for the summer holidays, in just 10 days time! I can hardly wait to see her again and I can't wait to show her the makeover I have done on her bedroom.

Having finally finished painting and decorating her bedroom (which seemed to grow bigger and bigger each time I went in there to do a bit more), I decided it was time to tackle the furnishings, so...
Out with the old bed and tatty furniture that she opted for (or put up with) whilst at school, because I have bought her some lovely painted bedroom furniture from our shop including a French bed (a kingsize so she can stretch out as much as she likes) and new bedside tables.
She's going to sleep in crisp white cotton bedlinen and I've found some really cutesy rose print pyjamas for her. Coo, I love being the clucking mother hen!
Pyjamas available shortly at New Country Quilts
Her bright pink Cecily Rose chair will remain as she got that only for Christmas this year, but I haven't added any other bright pink accessories as I think those finishing touches need to be her choice once she is home.



Well, it's late and it's as dry as a desert in here, so I'm headed off to the kitchen once again, chat soon, Liz

Dang! Can I be one of your kids? That bed is too beautiful for words. What a lovely doting mother you are. I hope Cecily knows how lucky and loved she is. You must take pictures of the room that you labored so hard in so that I can envy her more. :)

If Cecily doesn't like it, I'm moving in! x
