The Bedroom is Complete....

Here is an over-all view of the completed bedroom with attached sitting room. When I say completed...when is any home complete, we always change things about and add things to different rooms, so I guess my petite maison will be no different.

The little sitting room still requires a cushion for the chair, possibly a fire screen and lots of pretty bits and pieces on the 'what-not'.

The little dressing table with its many perfume bottles is a 'Small Pleasures Kit'...I have had it for a number of years but it just seems to have been made for that particular corner....and of course it has its own matching stool.

The chest of draws are a 'House Works Kit', with a mirror above and crystal wall sconces on either side. I made the 'festoon' curtain on the bedroom window in the same manner that you would make the 'real' thing!

I have had most of this room done for a couple of months now, all except the bedding on the 'Pheonix' bass and iron bed...once again this was a kit...quite a tricky one to get the paint work right!! I couldn't finish the room because I didn't know how to get the fabric to 'drape'...nothing worse than 'sticky-out' bedding...so Mercedes came to my rescue with her handy tips on how to treat the fabric...and in one afternoon the room was finished!!...thank you Mercedes!!

I have made a little box with evelopes and post cards....could these be a box of love letters belonging to the lady of the house?

I love this pheonix telephone...bit of a pain to paint and I changed the metal cord on the phone to a real one...doesn't look quiet so 'stiff'.

This is just a close-up of the box of letters and post cards, along with the little slippers that I have already shown you all.

...and finally, what brass and iron bed would be complete with out an Heirloom applique quilt...(no, not really!!) I made this years ago and finally it has a home!

All in all I am happy with these two rooms, probably more happy to have another area of the house finished....3 more rooms to go!!! Next room to work on is the bathroom/dressing room!!
