Bee happy ..... finished bedroom photos

I remembered I hadn't posted about my finished bedroom after decorating it when I did the rest of the house.


Remember this empty room?


The walls are painted a chalky white.

I wallpapered the back wall with the Cabbages and Roses wallpaper like in the living room but in raspberry this time.



My Cath Kidston spotty quilt cover.



I made a small quilt for the bottom of the bed with CK spotty fabric that matches the quilt cover and a blue flower fabric on the reverse from Dunelm which matches the cushion on the chair.






I am really pleased with the finished results, this room is so cosy now.

Bee happy ..... finish off

You can probably remember my little assistant couldn't decide which room to use this C & R wallpaper in, well now she has decided.


It was chosen for a feature wall in the living room.



You can probably see the wallpapering was done during an evening as it is dark outside.


Morning, and checking out the finished wall in daylight.

The TV cupboard has been eventually lifted out for the next job.


I even wallpapered in the tiny shelves in the fireplace, this was tricky but well worth it me thinks.


Painting the floor next!


First coat complete.



The floor had 3 coats of paint altogether.

The next job was ironing all the washed and dried curtains, blackout linings and voile.  It was a massive job putting the curtains back up, took nearly all day after ironing each section.


My lovely assistant checking out my work :)

Sorry I haven't been checking out every one's sweet blogs but I have been busy, will be able to catch up soon.

Bee happy .... more after photos


As promised, more after photos of my office.

Everything is back in place, labelled, organised, pictures up and looking tidy :)






I had a brainwave with my bobbin holder.

It was on my wall before I started decorating as a bag holder but I turned it around to fit in the corner and sat a wooden bobbin on each hook.  Had to sand some of the wooden hooks so the bobbins would fit properly but this didn't take too long. 


My adorable little assistant has been hard at work helping throughout the decorating ;)


She couldn't decide which room to put this wall paper up in :)


I have bought this fabric from Laura Ashley to go with the C & R dark flower wallpaper.

Bee happy ... get some C & R

I had to buy some Cabbages and Roses wallpaper, I just love the pattern.

I have some pink.

I have some black.


I wonder which rooms will get some C & R?

Had a break on Friday from painting and with a girly group we went to the Chatsworth show.

Saw the Red Arrows flying for the first time which was great, but the photos wouldn't down load for some reason :(

I did treat myself to this gorgeous leather bag.



This flower pattern is over the whole bag, it was so pretty couldn't resist it ;)



Found a lovely lady who draws different things on leather bags and purses and asked her if she had any purses with bees on.  She had a rummage and came up with this sweetie :)

I asked if she would be able to write on the leather and of course she obliged and of course I asked for Bee happy ;0)
