Refreshing the Master Bedroom

Our master bedroom has looked the same for a long time. We have lots of trouble finding bedding to look right on this bed, because it is high, plus it has huge mattress and box springs. I had looked for hours online for bedding big enough for it. Finally, I measured it, and instead of going to various stores carrying bedding, I typed the measurements into the search bar, 118 x 110 bedding. Then several links came up that carry what is called super-sized king bedding, including Amazon through ECity Direct, price $49.99. I was a little suspicious, but the reviews for the bedding were very good, so I decided to order it and see. (Chezmoi Kingston Collection, spread, 2 king size shams ) So a really great bargain. When I opened it, I was sure I had done the right thing. The spread is the same on both sides, and is the perfect weight.

I've shown before how I had sewn a large dust ruffle to the quilt that was on our bed, to make it long enough to fully cover the mattress.

BEFORE

This has worked just fine, but I was ready for a change.

AFTER

It's a lovely blue, and I left an ecru dust ruffle on the bed. I have another ruffle I found at Good Will that I plan to put on the bed soon to see how it works with the spread.

I like the quality of this bedding.

I found the pillows below at Good Will @ $2.52 each.

The cover on this antique table is a scarf from Good Will some time ago. It has beads along the ends. I tied it at the front corners so it would not be on the floor.

I made this wreath a long time ago, and pinned these aqua flowers on it today.

You can see the print of the grain sack stripes through the scarf. I painted them on the table, and like how they show through. Painting the table was one of my first blogging posts.
