I'm so pleased.<br />Our bedrooms all have Victorian iron beds....my sister's bedroom has a fourposter, like you have. Sorry to mention it again but, my sister got her four poster after she had visited Dennis Sever's house. It truly inspired her.

I had a quarter of a can of paint left after painting the walls, so I added enough water to make it half a can and washed the white ceiling with the thinned paint. The nongloss paint gives it all an old world plastered look. The bed tables are mismatched -- the one that came with the bedroom suite on the "visible from the door" side. When I got my new thicker queen-size mattress, I got another taller one for my side -- the finish matches. Atop them are a mismatched pair of brass lamps, one big, heavy and tall (with two bulbs -- for reading in bed) on my side, the other thinner and shorter, both found at charity shops, polished and rewired. I covered their lamp shades with a floral print fabric with a gold background that matches the walls, patterned with dark red roses. The walls are covered with groupings of pictures of my family and my ancestors on both sides, including an heirloom large oval photograph of my maternal great great grandmother. All the furniture is dark cherry with brass pulls. The bed was high to begin with and now is very high with the new mattress. The curtains for the room's only window I made from a gold damask banquet size tablecloth with a gold damask table runner with boullion fringed ends swagged over the top. The window is behind the head of the bed so the curtains form a lovely backdrop for the tall "turtle back" headboard. I wish the floor was wood, but it's wall to wall blah beige carpet (I rent, but I'm allowed to paint), so I've put down a red kilim rug at the foot of the bed and gold floral runners along the sides. In winter I have a thick Chinese red comforter patterned with metallic gold, in summer (currently) a candlewicked undyed cotton spread. The highboy chest of drawers has a dark cherry stained wooden book rack thing that slides apart to whatever size you need to contain the books in the "to be read" stack. I never use the ceiling fan light, but always light it with the bedside lamps. It's my cozy haven for reading and watching DVD's on the TV in the armoir at the foot of the bed. Oh, and the bedroom door has a catflap in it for my 3 kitties so I can shut out the world without shutting them out as well.WOLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03775462248193876148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-19808783843478524722011-03-12T11:24:31.695-05:002011-03-12T11:24:31.695-05:00Great post........lovely rooms to view........thou...Great post........lovely rooms to view........thoughtful musings!<br />KathiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-26787200995024107752011-03-12T10:02:24.493-05:002011-03-12T10:02:24.493-05:00The glimpse of your bedroom is just lovely, Pamela...The glimpse of your bedroom is just lovely, Pamela.

The place you stayed is incredibly beautiful and cozy. From the glimpse of your own room and description I can only imagine it is divine! Edward's doggie bed sounds fabulous too!<br /><br />I am fortunate to have a few bedrooms in my home, but I am not so well off to have them decorated to a finished state of beauty... yet it is my dream to complete them. The room I sleep in now has a beautiful antique Rosewood French bed and a little night stand that matches. The rest of the room isn't "done" and really needs help. Another room has a dreamy antique venetian painted bed from the 1800's but the bed isn't set up/put together yet. The head board is painted with a charming scene from Psyche and Cupid... and it is part of a large bedroom set of furniture from Italy. Indeed bedrooms are one of my favorite rooms as far as interior design, comfort and dreams go too.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14675560255622233368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-5450184788055246082011-03-12T04:06:46.772-05:002011-03-12T04:06:46.772-05:00What beautiful images.

It is decorated with pretty bright curtains and paintings created just for us... and there is a tiny cubby hole filled with only our most favourite books (space is tight!)... the bed we built ourselves and it is at window height so that when I lay on it in the day to read I can see the water flowing and boats passing by... it never fails to soothe my soul.<br /><br />It may be small, but it is truly our sanctury :-)Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14617109153936000235noreply@blogger.com
