Rejuvenate & Redecorate

Since I have been collecting cool treasures from estate sales, I have totally decided to redecorate my already so-so decorated house. It has been a challenge the past year decorating my space because I have a landlord, that will not allow painted walls, other than an almond color, in two rooms. Everything else has to be white... Stark WHITE. I myself, do not understand people that are afraid of a little paint color, but that is just because I was raised with parents who love to decorate and have color everywhere (plus the fact that I am from Florida and everything is brightly colored it is the norm to me)!

The first of the five rooms to be done is my bedroom! Here are some images of what I have done:

The overview of the focal point wall.

Here you can see all the little and big things that make a grand statement! I know most people like their bedrooms to be serene and spa-like from my experience with working at a high-end couture linens store. However, when it came to my room I love the bold and dramatic statements of each unique and old piece and the serenity of using a monochromatic scheme of espresso brown, almond, and white.

I purchased all three Stag, Gazelle, and Moose heads on www.Zgallerie.com. They have some amazing finds on there that are inexpensive but make a killer first impression when you walk in a room. I would say it is a mix of Potterybarn, Restoration Hardware, and you local Thrift Store with everything brand new. Go there and check out all that they have!

194os Vintage Wedding Bouquet and Wood Candlestick Collection are from WilShepherd's Etsy Store.

The Fedora Collection is from various gift stores around Kauai, Hawaii that I collected on our recent honeymoon there.

15 Frames came from various estate sale collections...Just sanded them down and lacquered in Ralph Lauren Lamplight.

I wanted every experience you had to be one to remember when you walk in the bedroom. That is why I created the Chevron Zig-Zag Drapes, and used things like crystal to lighten up and make the dresser look airy. I also like using the chrome, and little pops of color from the mason jar to the purple and yellow in the orchids to the red cowgirl boots to the yellow necklace in the crystal pedestal bowl.

The fabric came from Fabric Depot on 122nd & Stark. You can also get it direct from www.premierprintsfabric.com (They have a TON of other really cool fabrics, too). The pattern is called Zig-Zag in Village Brown & Natural. They are super easy to make too!

The Rococo fram that is pictured was unfinished when I received it from WilShepherd's Etys store, so I lacquered it in Ralph Lauren's Lamplight to match the other frames!

Here are the rest of the images! Enjoy, and if you have any questions don't hesitate to email or comment!

Thanks for looking!
