Faded Elegance !!!

Hello friends, this post has been a treat for me to do.My aunt is visiting and has taken along her best friend, (her professional DSLR/lenses).
Enjoy!!!


"SERENITY"
God grant me the serenity...


10 pillows/cushions...That should do it...
My husband most certainly thinks so...




Having a little fun with photoshop...
I was blessed to have a good samaritan drop off the old farm house window...
I love how word gets around when you love old stuff...
May God Bless her & all my followers!!!
Blessings Lori

  2. Beautiful bedroom!

    I agree about people figuring out you like old stuff. I have had the same happen with me. Love their cast offs.

  15. So pretty! The bed looks so cozy. My husband doesn't get why we have to take off so many pillows each night. Pillows are what makes it so inviting! Beautiful room.

  16. Hi Lori, serenity fits this room to a tee! I love the warmth of your gorgeous bedroom. Ha-ha, I have 11 pillows on my bed and my hubby certainly agrees that it's at least 1 too many. I try to remove them at night so he doesn't have to be reminded of how annoying they are. What can I say, I just love pillows. I have a new link party, Share Your Cup Thursday. I would love you to share this!
    Hugs,

  19. Your room is wonderful. Unfortunately, it would never survive in my house. Heck, I can't even buy white blouses because they get stained the first time I wear them. While I love this look accident prone me and three black cats would have it destroyed in no time.

    So, thanks for allowing me to live in your room vivaciously.

  20. Your bedroom "sweet" is absolutley dreamy...Love all the pics. Hope you had a very blessed Easter.

  27. You've created an oasis that speaks of peace and "home." Very inviting and timeless. I just read that you live on PE Island. I was day dreaming about getting away this morning and Prince Edward Island came to my mind! I figured that would be a good place to rest and figure out the next season of my life. You're a lucky girl!! Happy to be following you back, Lori. Have a nice weekend.

    1. Thanks Laurie
      WE only have a small Micheal's here with only small stencils, and no Hobby Lobby...So today I found a site with fonts and made my own with a black marker and heavy clear plastic, it worked perfect...Time consuming but also very inexpensive, just the way I like it...Thanks Blessings Lori

  44. Beautiful bedroom, Lori! The pictures turned out gorgeous. I have a similar color on the walls in our guest bedroom. Kind of a blue grey. We moved here about 6 months ago and I left everything painted the way it was. I should have gone white but did brown with it. Maybe I'll switch it up for the Summer months. Although, that means painting furniture!
