Farmhouse Bedroom...


I'm teasing you with a handful of room photos
here and there, because it , ( it being the house ) 
STILL isn't where I want it to be.

But I have a few here for you nonetheless,
pride be damned.

Being OCD and a relentless pefectionist
left to my own devices, I'd never share 
ANY of the house photos with y'all..

So here goes nothin'!
More to follow as I tweak and re-do.

{ double click all photos to super-size }

Yep, that's an awning over the bed,
a sweet purchase from my buddy Binky
at Binky La Faye in Llano, Texas.

We have an awning over the bed in
the guest bedroom, too.



I love framing children's clothes.
There is such a sweetness about them.


You are spying with your little eyes
one of my other obsessions...
vintage floral ticking pillows.


And perched atop an armoire / closet
is another collection of this 'n that.
No rhyme or reason to my vignettes,
if it looks good, I just go with it.

Hope you enjoyed the peek!
I'll parcel a few more out to you in the days ahead.


Ha! My friend Tom snapped me surrounded
by bubbles yesterday afternoon on Main St.
in downtown Fredericksburg.
Just a touch of whimsy to end the post.

Have an amazing weekend!

  7. Love the Peek Anne... it all looks so Lovely. Like you I hesitate to Share too much of the Ole' Homestead because it isn't 'til I download the Images that I have a Pride Hit because I'm confronted with everything I find to be wrong with the deferred maintenance! *LOL* A domestic goddess I am certainly not, but I am OCD about things being as good as they could be... well, whenever I can get around to it that is. *Winks*

  17. Lovely room, especially love the lace at the foot of the bed, as well as, the floral quilt and pillow. The bench and blue ticking pillow adds just the right touch. The built in closet is such a great detail and adds so much charm and character to the room. It all rings with vintage authenticity. Beautiful! Thank you for sharing your home. Kimberly

  25. HI Anne, I always enjoy seeing a work in progress. Love what you are doing and the creative thought behind it. We are remodeling our 40 year old farmhouse and I'm loving it, it is frustrating and simultaneously enjoyable! Both feelings in the same day! Hahaha...
    Enjoy your week.
    Blessings,
    Debbie

  29. Anne, I LOVE the head of the bed design the frame, sign etc. I remember when you got the awnings and put out a feeler for our takes on it. I am one (of many) that said over the window, over the bed...so glad that you went that way, it looks awesome!

    Be careful of the old pillows for dust mites etc. I love the wardrobe and that birdcage I think the bird cage and the flowers would look great on top of it.(with the red suitcase of course)

    Love to see you so happy! It is infectious :)
    love n hugs,
    Susan

  31. Hi Anne,
    Your bedroom is spectacular!!! I adore the awning over your bed, what a great idea!
    I just found 2 beautiful vintage floral & ticking pillows at the flea market for $4.00 a piece. If I knew you collected them, I would have sent them to you.
    Hope you have a lovely night.
    Sincerely,
    Melinda

  32. I love your style. Do you wash and re-stuff the vintage ticking pillows or just leave them as is. It's a great idea to stack them. I love it! Very Shabby Chic!

  36. Oh gosh, I love that sweet framed dress and shoes. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE all of your sweet treasures and vignettes. Those ticking pillows remind me of my grandma's pillows she received on her wedding day. Her mom collected feathers and made the pillows for her. Now, all of the feathers worn down, it has been consolidated into one pillow. Funny the things you cleave to that bring you joy. xxoo Heidi

  44. what a great reminder. Left my my own devices I would not share anything either as I would not deem it worth. But as I age, I am getting a bit away from that. I am happy that I visited today as I embark on a day of sewing for my shop. It will certainly serve me well.
    Have a great weekend

  46. I sure hope to get up there to see you sometime. I will spend a couple of days at Warrenton at the end on the month . . . if I don't melt. Hope to see you there.

    I am going to check my old window stash and attempt to make a shadowbox like yours. It is such an AWESOME piece!
