Amanda's Bedroom Butterflys and Chevron!

For any one that is joining me for the first time, this is my youngest daughter Amanda. Amanda has just bought her first house and we are having fun with the decorating. In my previous blog we featured  Amanda's vintage kitchen.   

Amanda wanted her bed room to have color and vintage with a little modern twist . She had always loved this beautiful butterfly fabric but it was always too expensive. My husband and I were in Myrtle Beach and always stop by this local fabric store on business 17 and there was Amanda's fabric. This fabric was around 110.00 a yard and I found it at 5.00 a yard!

 

Choosing a wall color, Amanda went with one of the aqua colors in the curtains to bring the room together. This bed originally had a high post top but because of the celling fan ( that Amanda can not sleep with out ) we removed the high post and glued the toppers to the bed.

When making the curtains, Amanda wanted to find something for a border that would add pizazz so we were ecstatic when she found this beautiful black and white chevron. Not only did this fabric bring just the right color pop she needed but brought the chevron pattern from the kitchen to flow into the house.

I love this dresser that Amanda found in a trash pile beside the road!  To give the dresser a face lift she used black paint for the bottom and white for the top.

I love Amanda's whimsical side, with her cute dog with the eye glasses and the baby dog for balance.

 

This serving tray that was found at a second hand store made a perfect display to all the perfume bottles.

 

 

 This is such a fun way to display jewelry, you will always see what you have! Amanda used an old frame and placed cork board covered in brown burlap. She then used little tack nails in copper to hold all the necklaces.

   The ear rings and bracelets hang on a tree that Amanda found on sale at Urban Outfitters.

This two layer brass dish holds all of her fun rings. Her best friend Patti, bought it for her for Christmas from World Market.

 

 

A collection of real butterflies framed from the flea market and two old knitting containers found in Asheville antique stores make a wonderful display. Occasionally Amanda will use the large Knitting container for wine and the small for a hand bag. 

  

Hand held mirrors make a wonderful display!

 

 

 

We have been so busy with so many projects going on that it is taking me a little more time to post new blogs but they are on the way. Thank you for this beautiful visit, come again soon!
