Master Bedroom!!

Good Evening Bloggers!! I took the day off today and did some shopping and tweaking to our Master Bedroom!! I thought I would share it with you guys this evening.
As you already know I buy a lot of my decorative items from yard sales. I have very few pieces of furniture from Yard Sales.
My husband and I love Cherry Wood Furniture. When we purchase our furniture it is a good quality furniture. So you see , I am not cheap or I mean thrifty in all areas of my home.
I hope you enjoy and I welcome any advise or suggestions for decorating. As I have said before I am not a decorator , I am a mental health therapist. LOL
Please ignore my ugly CPAP Machine in the floor by our bed.. Unfortunately I have to sleep with the mask due to my sleep apnea!!




This is the view you see when you first enter our Master Bedroom. The little steppie things were a five dollar yard sale find!!P





Full front view of the bed. I made the monogram pillow on the bed. The quilt set came from K-Marts Country Living style. I love the ruffles and lace that is all in and around the quilt. The colors I fell in love with and was the reason I bought the quilt.





An angle view of the dresser!






This the vignette sitting in the middle of the dresser. I purchased the glass cloche thingie at Kirklands today. I had the shredded nestie stuff already. I also had the little bird on hand as well.
The little silver brush and comb( I don't think it is real silver). I found at a yard sale.






This little lamp sits on the left side of our dresser. I purchased it today at Kirklands. I am actually thinking about going back to Kirklands tomorrow to get another one. I would sit it on the opposite end and removed the vase of faux flowers!
The little gold purse is a Goodwill find.






This is the chest in our Master Bedroom. As you can see the black box is sitting atop of the chest. It is in our plans to hang the black box on the wall and put the chest in the walk in closet.






This is a different shot of the dresser and its stuff.





This is the right side night stand. I hope to either get rid of this lamp entirely or at least get a new shade. The lamp was a brassy gold and I spray painted it to match the other lamp on the left night stand. It was part of my husbands bachelor furniture -Junk uh I mean stuff.
The Little girl is part of a set. If you notice the box behind the lamp is filled with my vintage hankie collection.

The table my husband and I bought when we first moved to South Carolina! I found the chair at a yard sale for 5.00. I plan to have it made over. I am afraid to tackle the re upholstery my self. I also plan to do something different with these plain cream colored sheers. I may make a valance. Or just replace them all together. I purchased them at Target.
The cherry lamp on this table is a Good Will find. I found its globe shade at a yard sale for 50 cents. I bought the little bird today at Kirklands! The ivory vase is a Lenox piece. I have several Lenox's pieces I have found at yard sales. The flowers were a good will find!






This lamp I hope either sees a new shade soon or I get rid of the entire lamp and replace it with another one!! It was a yard sale find. The little rose box was a yard sale find as well. The little boy statue is part of a set that I have had for years. I do not know where or when I purchased it. The little girl part of the set is on the other night stand.







This is the vignette on right end of our dresser. I found this vase at a yard sale. There is another one just like it stored away. I bought the flowers at Ole Time Pottery! I bought the frame at Kirklands today! It was on clearance for 3.98! I just loved the sparkel and color of the frame







These two french doors are the entry way to the Master Bath. I am not quite ready to show you that room as of yet. There is alot of tweaking to do in there!! I made the little door pillow hanging on the door knob






I absolutely love these two plaques!! I found these a couple of years ago at a yard sale. I ended up paying 1.oo for both of these plaques.

Good Evening Bloggers! This weekend has been way too short!! I stayed so busy, I don't know where the time went. I did accomplish alot however I did not get my master bedroom and bath tweaked enough to post.
I did go to a few yard sales this weekend. I thought I would post my finds for you guys tonight~~
Yard sale season is full swing now, even though here in Myrtle Beach there are yard sales year round!! Hope you enjoy my finds!


I ended up with three of the hand painted chargers. I won't use them as charges. The rooster and hen one I will display in my kitchen along with the rest of my flock. I paid 3.00 for the set!






I think this one is my favorite of the three~ I like the way the rooster is painted!





I don't know where I will use this hand painted charger~ but I love the pastel florals.






Of course you guys know why I had to have this, who could turn down a towel with a rooster. It is packaged so pretty with cellophane and black and white polka dotted bow. It was a dollar.







I fell in love with this cross because of the creamy ivory roses. I think it is someone's wedding cross because it has two silver rings with rhinestones. I paid a dollar.






This isn't real gold, however I really liked it because the leaf looked so lacy. I like the look of lace on anything. I paid a 1.00 for it.

Good evening bloggers!! This has been a long week, and I am really tired. I love to blog because it takes the stress of working away. I can enjoy the company of good friends, and see how they decorate their beautiful homes!!
The photos I am sharing with you are of my Powder Room and guest bathroom. They are both works in progress. How do you get small bathrooms look chic anyhow? I don't have a clue!! LOL
I guess by now you friends have noticed I am an avid thrifter! I just can't see paying full price for things that are just as pretty I can find at yard sales and discount stores etc.
These photos are not the most interesting, but I wanted to share parts of the house I haven't shared yet. I hope to post pics of the master bedroom and bathroom this weekend. I just got to do some tweaking first. So thank you all for stopping by. I really enjoy your comments and ideas.


Powder Room!

This is best I could do getting a full view of the powder room!! So I will post it in parts. Its a tiny room with just a toilet and sink. The rose print I bought at a yard sale for 1.00. The hand towels I have had for years! I don't remember where I bought those.





I love that the builder put a oval mirror in this room! I wish it had a frame around it though. The soap dispenser was a Ross find!








This little rose rug was a Christmas gift from my hubbies daughter!





I bought this basket at a yard sale. I thought I would put it in the powder room for magazines.






Guest Bathroom!

This is the guest bathroom. It is very small! I just gathered things I already had to use as decorations. I bought the lace shower curtain on line, but I think it was Linen Source or something like that.






these blue towels I have had a long time! I love the lace on them! I don't remember where I bought them.






I love this little shelf. The little wicker doll and the fan are yard sale finds. I have had the blue pitcher and bowl for years. It is a avon bottle!





The little ginger jar and the round ceramic box that matches it, are both yard sale finds.







I love this little sea shell heart! Of course I found it a garage sale!







I found these blue rose shower curtain hooks at a yard sale.

Good Afternoon Friends!! It turned cold here overnight in South Carolina. The sun is shining though so it is a beautiful day.
I am posting some more pictures of the house. You are proably bored by now at my attempt of decorating.



The guest bedroom!!

For some reason I did not get a full shot of the bedroom. But I think by the photos I did post you will get the jest of the style of the bedroom. I love the pale colors and spring like feeling it projects!



These little pale blue and white figurines, I have collected over the years at yard sales. They are depictions of family life. I just love them.







A close up of the ladies I have sitting on the dresser.






I just love this little bunny. I have her sitting on a little ivory heart stool. I found both at yard sales.







I love the green frame on this Rose print. Of course I bought this at a yard sale as well.





This rose print is another yard sale find! It hangs over the little white heart table.







My hubby bought this picture for me right before we were married. It has a pine frame and matches the other pine furniture in that room. Also I do not have a headboard for that bed, so the big picture kind of functions as a head board. A real head board is on my list of things to get or look for at Yard Sales.





This is a close up of the guest room bedding. All the little pillows I had for several years now, I don't remember where I got them. The comforter is a Jacqueline Smith from K-Mart. I am getting impressed with the quality of K-Marts home section.






This is the only window the room has. I bought the ivory drapes at Target. I made the Valance.






This little pine night stand matches the dresser. The lamp is a Good Will find. All the rest of the stuff are yard sale finds!






I love this little shabby chic cabinet. I bought it at Ole Time Pottery! The lamp on top is a Goodwill Find. Of course I had my little yard sale pink doll and the sheep bank.





You have seen me in the past post this pine dresser I have had in the guest room. I did change the decorations on the top.





A close up of my little heart table.






This little country heart table I have had for years. I know the country heart thing is out of date,but I still like mine! The Roses I bought at Ole Time Pottery. The vase they are in came from a mothers day flower bouquet sent to me by daughter. Of course I had to keep my little sheep. I think it is so cute.







The Dining Room!










My china hutch. My country rose china is in the bottom. I got most of my crystal suff and odd and end china in the hutch part!







This bronzie like plate holder thingie I found at a yard sale. I paid a dollar for it. The plate is a mother's plate that was given to me by my children years ago. It matches my Old Country Rose Chine,by Royal Albert or Dalton, I am not sure which,LOL.







The picture on this wall I bought at Big Lots. The lamp is a left over from my husbands house before we were married.






I bought this clock at Ross's. I really like how it looks!







The Dining Room! I found the beige drapes at a yard sale. The Valances came from Target!
