why hello all! it is wednesday which means we are continuing the tour bus journey of a "corner of my world". in-case you missed the first stop on the tour...you can see it here to catch up! so, hold on tight & enjoy! today's stop is going to be our master bedroom...or shall we say {always kiss me goodnight}!
these reclaimed doors lead into our "boudoir". the sign...well let's just say I thought it was kind of silly!
you will notice that most of the rooms of our home are a neutral palette of linen white with a brighter white trim. far from sterile, it provides a grand canvas to which I warm up with textures in worn woods, faded blankets, ghostly aged mirrors & rusty metal accents.
I created our headboard with a salvage "chippy white" architectural trim. it seemed appropriate to fit into the patinaWHITE theme! beds to me are an opportunity to pile on cozy linens. just don't ask how long it takes each morning & night to make and unmake it! at the foot of the bed is my all time favorite old european feather filled eiderdown. it is a double size and so warm! a must for minnesota winters and brisk summer eves!
a close up below of the eiderdown...it's colors & paisley pattern are so dreamy. the throw under it adds layers of texture!
flanking the bed are mismatched his & her nightstands. similar in composition but uniquely different they provide a quirky way to add a bit of whimsy to the room.

and {hers}
this is my crown jewel of the ball! my vintage italian beaded chandelier was an eBay find many moons ago. I have adored it since day one and never tire of staring at it's glorious, clear {but not always clean} prisms! I know I have a lot of "favorites" but if there was a fire & I was able - I would yank this girl right off the ceiling and run! :)
and here we have my collection (yes, another) chippy, charming and oh so cute chalkware pups! just call me old macdonald...this "farm" family rests high ontop of a cupboard! EIEIO...
who doesn't love a good mani? mannequin that is! this gal holds a collection of necklaces that I throw on a moments notice. her wings were a treasured find at the most fabulous silver bella. a must see event if you find yourself in my home state of nebraska during the month of november! the wood mirror is yet another nebraska find...I hauled it home in a near blizzard hoping not to add seven years of bad luck!
and a bit closer to see some prized jewels...
and so ends the tour for yet another wednesday! they come quick so I hope you will swing in next week for yet another jaunt thru a "corner of my world"! have a wonderful day & always kiss your loved ones goodnight! beth
