I can't believe I'm doing this...

OK, so I DO have a bedroom, and it does now have a sunburst mirror above the bed, and I can't believe I'm actually showing pictures, 'cause I can't get good ones, and now I will probably have blog remorse once I hit the "publish" button...



There are some things I want to change out, like the old school curtains, which were fine 9 years ago. And of course there's that itch that would have me repaint it all in a taupe-y gray. But the master bath and my closet are also in this camel color so that's a big job. Right now I don't want any more big jobs, at least for awhile. So I guess I'll wait until I can't stand it anymore, then I'll do it.




oh gosh, these photos are not very good...

anyway...this room is a booger bear to photo;
it's dark with all the gold, dark rug (which used to be in the Living Room),
and large pieces of dark stained furniture.
d.a.r.k.

(our TV is in here)


but, I bit the bullet and I'm outing myself,
'cause I promised a pic of the new sunburst mirror,
which DOES help bring it just a tad bit more up to date.


maybe...



I bought a new duvet cover and shams from Pottery Barn last fall,
and I love them...
I could still use them with gray walls...
hmmmm...


I had fun putting together little gallery areas on either side of my dresser.






This carved trunk came from the Philippines, 
when my dad was in the Korean War.
He shipped it home to my mom
 full of Japanese kimonos and handmade items.

frenchy things on my dresser.




can you tell I like old "frenchy" things?






anyway...be kind.
I have some decisions to make on drapes and painting.
I hope I can decide what needs to be done,
so another almost three years won't go by
before I show it again.
