Beautiful before AND after! Just a really serene setting.

Ditto! I love your room.

I love it, too! That bed is really beautiful and so inviting!

I could dive right in. Really like how in the first pic how you can see the headboard of that gorgeous bed.

Stunning! What is your paint color?

Love your bed.

Very nice! I like both the before and after also. The after looks very calm and inviting.

Thank you all! I'm surprised some of you liked the before pics too since it seemed too stark to me and I wanted to soften it up a bit. It feels more cozy and enveloping to me now. And I really love our bed, too!

Jillinnj, the color is Delta Green by Porter Paints (a midwest PPG paint brand). The first photo is probably the closest to the true color.

Just lovely, hoosiergirl.

WOW ....I love the bed !! And what you have added just works beautifully. What can you tell me about the bedding ? I only use white and am in the market for more.....covers/duvet/comforter...and the rods/drapes. Thank you ! c

Very nice! Your bed is beautiful and looks so cozy and calm with the white bedding!

Great job!

Beautiful bed and beautiful room HG. It's fun to make those little changes that have a big impact.

What a beautiful bed! Love the bedding and artwork!

Very pretty, Hoosiergirl!!

I love how you have the drapes leading into your sitting room. It seems to soften up that area and gives a more semi-private feel.

What a lovely and inviting bedroom! Is your bed an antique?

I love the sitting room, too. That would be irresistable to me if it were at my house.

Hoosier Girl.... Your room is beautiful! I remember seeing your bed from a previous post and loving it then. Where do you find such a beautiful furnishing?

Thanks,
(ps-we might kinda be neighbors... that is are you from Indiana?)

I like it! The new bedding and side table are really nice, and I love the way the new pictures look on the wall. It's pleasing to my eye!

Thank you for all the kind words! I do feel calm and relaxed when I'm in our room now -- great for sleeping!

Trailrunner, it was all done on a budget (I'm always looking for a bargain)! The bedding is all mix and match Martha Stewart in different Trousseau collections on clearance or from eBay, except the small pillows were consignment store finds (all new -- I have bed bug fear)! The drapes were from Target.com and the rods from Penney's. Let me know if you want more info on those and I'll do some digging...

Legacybuilder, I like the sitting room being more private now too! Maybe someday I'll get to use it more often!

Gardeningmusician, the bed isn't an antique. We bought the set about 13 years ago. It's by Drexel and we love all of it! I wanted something that would last and could be passed down if my kids wanted it. My daughter's already laid claim to the bed!

Ezbake, yes, we are in Indiana too! Nice to meet you, neighbor!

Hoosiergirl,

I have always admired that photo after you posted a pic when I asked about green paint colors. Love the color, bed, room, everything. Very much my style, only I could never pull it off like you. Just beautiful!

What a lovely room! You've definitely hit the mark. Love the wall color. So serene with your bedding and drapery. All of the attention to detail, you have achieved a very layered look. Yes, a big transformation for a "mini" re-do!

Enjoy!

Thank you Hoosier...I have not looked on Ebay for that line and will do so now. My problem with drapes is that I have 12 ft ceilings with 6 foot tall windows that are a couple feet from the floor. I want drapes to come the floor and I have 3 windows side by side....want one long rod and then 3 sets of panels that I can open and close to block AM sun. They will need to be about 10 ft long...I need to measure. It is hard to find drapes that length that aren't ruinously expensive. Will have a sep. post soon with measurements. THANK YOU ! C

just beautiful HG, as always.

I've been out of town, so just getting back to this...

Scanmike, thank you so much for the compliment! BUT, if I can do it, you can too, I'm sure!

Thank you Work in progress and Cooperbailey as well. I think drinking in all the gorgeous rooms I see on this forum helped tremendously!

Trailrunner, I don't think Target had these in 120" lengths, but I'd think you might want lined drapes if you want to block the sun. I just wanted softening of the room, so I didn't care about them being lined. There is a company I've seen advertised that sells 120" lined silk drapes for $64.99/panel with free shipping (link below) -- still not cheap, but for real silk, I think that's a steal! They have other 120" drapes as well. (Insert no affiliation disclaimer here!) I hope that helps!

Thank you all again! It means a lot to get such nice comments from all of you!

Love it!

Beatiful make-over.
The only thing I noticed was that the two bedside lamps have different shades. I think matching shades would look nicer and maybe even match the lamps too.

Thanks Catkin and Jeannie!

Jeannie, I did notice the disparity as well, but I really don't like matching very much (even though I have some symmetry going on there). I'm also pretty lax in my decorating and it really doesn't bother me (and DH didn't even notice that I bought another lamp at all, so it *really* doesn't bother him!), so I think the incongruent lampshade (lamp?) will stay. But thank you for the suggestion! I like hearing others' opinions!

You are most welcome :~)

Your welcome - My issue is I like/must have symmetry - OCD !!! That's probably why I noticed it in your photo's. The room looks beautiful and bed looks sooooo comfy. In my last house my lamps/shades didn't match and because of my OCD (LOL) it drove me nuts.
