I thought I would share a post today with some changes I made to our bedroom. I love for this room to be soft and cozy and feel like a sanctuary at the end of the day.
 |
| First little change up was some new curtains for the bedroom. I got these drop cloth curtains which were too long and so I got out my trusty old Sear Kenmore sewing machine and sewed a straight line to make a new rod pocket and have them be the right length for my large window. |
 |
| Then I added some outside plant hangers to give some character to the window and to hold the new curtain pole for the burlap valances. |
 |
| Next change up was to add two pretty chandeliers I got at Grayslake Flea Market yesterday. It is so rare to find two of the same chandeliers and these were a steal. They were an ugly gold but some light linen spray paint did the trick. They now are the same color as the main chandelier over my bed. |
 |
| I just think they add some romance to the boudoir!!!!! |
 |
| The hubby put a dimmer switch on so they are bright or not so bright. I like that I can adjust the amount of light. |
 |
| I got a new pillow that said heart to heart. Loved that it could match up with my two french love letter heart pillows I already had. |
 |
| I wish I could have captured better pictures but the chandeliers and new curtains and burlap ruffled valances have given some newness to this room. I love this time of year I change out my lighter bedding for heavier duvets. I have three duvets on my bed. I love a soft and comfy duvet on the cooler nights of fall. Hope your week end is going great. Hoping for a better week ahead. Kris :) |

Kris what a beautiful space I was surprised to see the Chandy's working. I though they were just to look pretty. Better yet they work. I love them even more now.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that heart to heart pillow!
ReplyDeleteThis room is so beautiful, I love the new curtains and that door headboard is one of my most favorite things ever. Gorgeous. Be sure to link this up to Inspire Me tomorrow, this is fabulous. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteQuite romantic. The chandeliers make it a boudoir instead of a bedroom.
ReplyDeleteYou are getting pretty handy with that sewing machine.
Kris, your bedroom looks absolutely dreamy!!! Great job on the window treatments! Hope you're feeling better after your tough week. xo

From the chandies to the new pillow and then the curtains, it all look great!
ReplyDeleteI love the ruffled valance-so girlie.
So sorry you've lost two special people in one week, Kris. It makes you appreciate every day in a new way, though. I love your new chandeliers and your window treatments, too! You may become a seamstress after all!!
ReplyDeleteHope this week's a better one. :)
Vickie
so pretty - I can't believe how many chandeliers you have!! and all of them so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry that you lost two loved ones last week, Kris!
ReplyDeleteYour bedroom is so pretty! I am drooling over your chandeliers! They are gorgeous! Who says that one is enough per room?:) Also love your neat door headboard. Your curtains turned out great, and I also really like your pretty chair, too!
Kris- I absolutely LOVE it ALL. Those chandeliers are wonderful and look great hanging on each side of the bed. I love your ruffled curtains, too- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteLove the chandeliers Kris, they add such sparkle and romance and the valance completes the window look. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear of your losses. I do hope for a better week ahead for you. I love your room and the new lights oh my!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful and creative! I just love how you used the plant hangers and the chandeliers are stunning! i hope this wonderful space brings you great comfort...so sorry for your loss.

ReplyDeleteHi love it all it looks stunning-love dee x
ReplyDeleteKris, love the curtains and the chandeliers are gorgeous! The best part is that you got them for a great price! I'm looking for a chandelier like that for my guest bedroom. Are you sure you need 3 for your room :) Are the curtains made from a real painting drop cloth? I hear lots of folks talking about making things from drop clothes. Am I missing something?
ReplyDeleteYour room is really pretty! I love the doors for the headboard.
ReplyDeleteso sorry about your friends! I love your bedroom chandeliers! does your husband do electrical? that is so handy! your bedroom is so feminine yet still calming. love the ruffled valance.
ReplyDeleteYour room is so pretty, Kris! I love your new chandeliers. I am in the midst of doing things over in our bedroom since we got a new bed ~ King Size, which has just thrown everything off!
ReplyDeletefirst, so sorry for your loses last week, kris. it's rare to find two matching chandys--how lucky you found some! they look so very charming! love the ruffles on your window, and the cute pillows:) wishing you a better week:)
ReplyDeleteI love the changes that you made! Very subtle yet they carry a big impact! Those big, ruffled valances are so incredible! I need to learn to make some for our room! oh my gosh! The sun just peeked out! Haven't seen it in like a week! Maybe now I can finally put out that pumpkin project I mentioned before we went to the beach. It's just rained so much that I would have gotten soaked and it would have washed away! I'd better get at it Hugs, Leena
ReplyDeleteOops! I accidently deleted my comment as I was typing it the first time and when I redid it, I forgot to include how sorry I am for the losses you suffered last week. Prayers to you and your family for healing and peace. xoxo
DeleteEverything looks fantastic. Love the new chandeliers. Did your DH hardwire them in? It is so expensive to hire an electrician. I noticed you have decorated above your armoir. I have the same armoir, but I don't have anything to put up there. I will have a look around the house to see what I can find.
ReplyDeleteI hope you will find sunshine this week after such a trying last week. Get extra hugs from that good man of yours.
*Hugs*
Gosh darn! Totally forgot about Grey's Lake. I decided to check out LaPorte, IN and even though I enjoyed the drive, with little traffic, there wasn't much to see. It's the last one of the season so I think that had something to do with it. Those chandeliers are drool-worthy! And to have a hubs who can do the electrical... lucky on both counts. The chair with all those yummy, flouncy pillows made me smile! I'd say you did a good job creating some romance there, girl!!
ReplyDeleteHi Kris. That was a great find and they just add to the prettiness already there. I have joined up to receive your posts through e-mail. Now I won't miss a one..Happy Monday..Judy
ReplyDeleteKris your bedroom is so romantic. Those chandeliers are so beautiful and add so much. I am really digging the headboard too!
ReplyDeleteCynthia
Kris, your bedroom is gorgeous - I love the new curtains and the chandeliers are perfect. It certainly looks like a cozy retreat... found you at Coastal Charm....Cathy
ReplyDeleteKris,
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your losses last week. Perking up your sanctuary is the perfect prescription. I especially like the two heart pillows with the newest one, which connects them very sweetly. Hope you can enjoy this week more.
Rita
Hi, I love the way you have used the plant holders and love the ruffled curtains. The chandeliers make the bedroom so romantic! Lovely room! Nancy
ReplyDeleteHi Kris, Those chandys are beautiful! Love your idea with one on each side of the bed with dimmers. Your headboard is fabulous as well...beautiful choice for a headboard! Blessings~~may your week be a bright one~~~Roxie
ReplyDeleteKris, Sorry to hear about your losses. Hopefully,things will be better soon. The chandeliers are gorgeous!! I love the ruffled curtains and the duvet on the bed looks so comfy. Yes, I would say some romance is in your bedroom!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Jody
I love the chandeliers. Your room has so much white, I would have to toss in some more colorful pillows, some paintings, little touches like that.
ReplyDeleteOh, how I love those chandeliers, what a lucky find! They go perfectly in your room, it looks like such a peaceful retreat, you have done a beautiful job on it.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless,
Kimberlee
I'd never want to leave the bedroom! What a wonderful find in those chandeliers, they go in your dreamy bedroom so beautifully. And I'm in love with the ruffled valances... think I need to pick up some more drop cloths. I made my curtains drop cloths and think they would make sweet ruffles as well!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Pendra
Hi Kris
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love those burlap valances and your curtains, might have to 'borrow' this idea for my new bedroom! I swear I could move into your home and not want to change one thing.

Oh I just love the curtains and all of the sweet touches you've added!!! Those chandi's are perfect! You're getting more use out of that sewing machine I see. lol You'll be sewing like a pro in no time!
ReplyDeleteOh my!!! Your bedroom is gorgeous Kris. The chandys are perfect. I love your pillows and oh! that headboard! Very romantic.
ReplyDeleteYou sure did create a sanctuary to come home to! It all looks just wonderful. All the chandeliers look perfect together - what a great find at the flea market! I like the doors headboard. Did you make it? I need to make a creative space in the unfinished part of the basement and thought if I added white doors like that, they might brighten it up. Have a great day and thanks for visiting me!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love your head board and all 3 chandeliers!
ReplyDelete:)

Hi Door Queen, I love your door headboard.:):) The bedroom does look calming and charming. I like the new chandies. xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteHi Kris,
ReplyDeleteYour room looks so cozy. I like the changes you have made. I have a chandy in my bedroom too although not crystal. I find they do add some romance especially with a dimmer switch. I like your doors too. Thank you for your visit to my Pink Tea Party. It was lovely having you stop by. Take care.
Blessings,
Sandi
Oh I so love your bedroom...you have so many wonderful pieces and details in the room....yes..a room with such grace!

Kris my heart goes out to you - 2 losses is just far too much.

AND I'm so in love with your pillows - ( I'm working on a Heart to Heart sign actually for the bedroom :)
Hugs from Montreal
Girl, you always make me smile! Your room is absolutely beautiful. Now I would have never thought to use two more chandy's. I would have thought over kill. But, no! You proved me wrong. Love them! Love the pillows and bedding too. I was so sorry to hear about your losses. That is a lot to take in one week.
ReplyDeletehugs,

So sorry for your loss, Kris. That's certainly never easy and always leaves a hole in the heart. I love your new chandies. I've been looking for one for the bathroom but haven't found anything yet. They seem to be overpriced at Kane County Flea Market but I'll keep looking. Love that you put yours on a dimmer switch. Great idea!
ReplyDeleteGosh your room is gorgeous Kris. So many wonderful romantic elements. LOVE the chandes! I am so sorry to hear of your losses this week..very sad. XO
ReplyDeleteOh Kris, your bedroom is simply stunning! I love all the changes that you made. Good find on the chanti's and they look really good.
ReplyDeleteSorry to be so slow in sending a comment but have been laying low with a blood clot in my leg - slowly getting better, but has really cramped my activities.
Have a wonderful Fall Weekend.
Mary
Be still my heart!! Your room is so so beautiful!! Love all the chandeliers and the heart pillows are wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteMy four year old son Levi loves the angel in your header. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a romantic bedroom! I adore those doors behind your bed, and you did a wonderful job on the chandeliers. The curtains are very soft and pretty. I just made a duvet cover with drop cloths - don't you just love them?
ReplyDelete3 duvets...and 3 chandeliers?? Wow, that is a beautiful and comfy bedroom...sanctuary for sure :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful room. I love the doors you used for the headboard and the chandeliers.

Dear Kris,
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your bedroom!!! It is gorgeous!!! I just wrote a note to Pamela, and realize I could just copy and paste the same question to you, if you don't mind! Here is what I wrote: (except the room I am wondering about for you is the color of your bedroom walls.....):
Hi Pamela,
Well, have just spent a lovely evening looking at your blog, this blog, and lots of other blogs of commenters! And having lots of fun! I have a quick question, may I ask what paint color that is in your last picture on this post? It is the room that could be a family, or living room. And it has a kitchen off behind to the left, and the couch is kitty corner in the room. If you can, would you email me, to let me know please? I would be so grateful! We painted recently and my tan is PINKish, and I just hate it!!! So I am planning on painting soon! Well, hope you are able to help!
If you would email me back that would be wonderful!!! Hoping to hear from you!!
Thanks & hugs from Michigan,
Diane Carlson
Oops - maybe that notify me thingey would work..... - never have understood it!

Graciousness, Kris! Ur killing me §:-)
ReplyDeleteI am planning to put a door as a headboard on my daughter's room (now a guestroom) but seeing this? I will definite, grab your idea and put into my BR. In fact, I want to change the style as I am in a cottage moody style. Duno what am talking about either. But I know when doors stand together, it will be as perfect as yours. Our nightstand is like yours since awhile now.
I love and drooling your ideas. Blesses U, dear.
