Loving Neutrals

I often decorate with neutral colors.  To me, they are more soothing, especially in the master suite.

The paint color is Classic Taupe, Olympic brand I think. I bought this comforter set at Wal Mart, BHG brand.  It has micro suede blocks of fabric, which I really like.

 Just pretend you don't see my CPAP machine on the night stand.  Keeping it real!
  The runner on the dresser is the one I made from a drop cloth, and trimmed with burlap garland.

Now pretend you don't see the fan.  :) My husband drove a truck for over 40 years and got used to hearing the truck run while he slept, so we run a fan.  I know there are white noise machines, I have one--not the same. 
These french doors lead into the sun room.


 The neutral colors are carried on into the master bath.

 Love my soaker tub.  I chose not to have jets.

The tub surround is porcelain tile exactly like that on the floor.  I really love this tile, and wish I had put the same tile in my kitchen, sun room, and breakfast nook.  It's so much easier to clean than what I have.

The husband loves white linens.  He can bleach them all he likes.  :)  Did I ever tell you he may be a neat freak?  Just sayin'.

Still keeping it real folks.  :)  My mirrors are framed with beveled mirror strips. I have enjoyed these.  When we built this home, brass fixtures were the rage, but they don't bother me at all.  They're good quality, and easily cleaned.

Well there you have it, a peek at the master suite at Sharing Shadymont.  Hope you enjoyed your tour!

I'm linking to a few good parties, and hope you'll drop by for a visit.

  2. What a pretty, relaxing room, and I love your comforter. I run a fan most of the time too, it's just a little too quiet without it, plus I like the air moving a little bit even if its not blowing in my direction.

    Your tub is fabulous, I have one on my list for my next house!

  5. I love your tub area ~ that must be heaven to soak in! I've been liking white towels myself lately. Yes, to be able to just throw bleach in and have them looking pristine after a wash! I'm slowly picking up new ones and banishing the old to the rag basket.

  6. I love your pretty bedroom and bath. I think the bedding is so lovely and the BHG line at Walmart has some pretty stuff.
    I have a fan too in my bedroom and cannot sleep without it, so I understand. Also I never thought about having the tub installed without the jets, good idea.
    I'm all about white towels, they just look cleaner and prettier.

  7. What a pretty and soothing master suite. I also keep a fan on in the bedroom....for the noise.....and the hot flashes too (talk about keeping it real) I LOVE your soaker tub....our tub is so shallow, it's like trying to bath in a foot basin....very unsatisfying.

Thrifty Bookcase Makeover

About a year ago, I was working on a photo gallery area at the lake home. There is an area about 7x7 between the living room, and the hall bath. I bought a really inexpensive ($20.00) bookcase to use there to hold family photos. I hurriedly placed photos on it, and didn't think much about it.   The last time we were at the lake, I was sitting there looking at how badly it looked, wondering what I could do to spruce it up a little.  It had all colors/types of picture frames -red, pink floral, wood, brass, you name it!   I remembered seeing adhesive shelf liner at the Dollar General the day before.  So I made a quick trip back there, and bought one 9 ft. roll for less than $3.00.  I know this is not an original idea and has been done by lots of people, but I wanted to show you anyway.   First, I emptied out all the photos, pulled out the shelves, measured, and cut the paper to fit inside the bookcase.  I also took all the photos out of the frames and w...

Stenciled Burlap Pillow

I just have to share my no sew pillow project.  I had some burlap fabric in my fabric stash, and decided I would use it to cover a pillow.  First, I found an old pillow I no longer use.  I spread the burlap out on the floor and laid my pillow on it so I could cut the fabric big enough to cover it.  I was so intent on the project, I didn't make any pictures of the process. Once the burlap was cut, I folded in the sides about an inch, and glued it down with Tacky Glue, pressing it down several times with my fingers.  I did this all the way around the fabric, and laid it aside to dry over night.  The Tacky Glue dries clear. My next step was to determine how I could lap the fabric over the cushion in an envelope fashion.  I had tried to get my computer to print out a graphic that would show up on the burlap, but printer problems interfered with that plan, so I found the center, and stenciled it with the tree stencil I bought at Michael's. ...
