WOYWW - Sweet Dreams Are Made of This

I'm sharing what I've been working on last weekend for WOYWW this week....should have been doing some craft work but I wanted to do this and there is nothing that interesting on my craft desk today!
Apart from having my hair cut......I spent nearly all day on Saturday in the new Dunelm Mill that has opened in Torquay!!
Whoops that shocked my credit card a bit!! LOL
A few months ago now my bedroom looked pretty boring


The Total Trainer in the corner is something I'm never going to use because of my dodgey back so that is going in the paper for sale real soon...it's in the dining room at the mo!
The television on the chest of drawers is the one I put the t.v. arm on the wall for and that chest of drawers is the one I'm using as an extra work surface in the dining room....yep my dining room is getting fuller by the minute! LOL
A few weeks ago I bought a new bed.....had to.....as the old Ikea one had become impossible for me to get a pain free nights sleep in....I had been sleeping on the sofa for some time but at least is was comfy! My new bed is sooooooo comfy I can get out of bed each day without looking and feeling like a 90 year old geriatric!!! HOL
So I decided I'd get some new curtains and a bit of bedding to really make my bedroom a comfy place I'd like to spend time in :)
The white linen I already had but was always saving it for best......why?!


It's a big improvement don't ya think?
A couple of new lamp shades.....two fancy pillow cases....some cushions.....new curtains and the throw....the old patchwork one is actually still there I've just turned it the wrong way round as it is a creamy colour on the reverse and it's lurking under the new throw as I could not afford to buy a new one of those as well!!
I am thinking that I might have to get a little chocolate coloured runner for the end of the bed to help to tie it all together a bit more.....what do you think?

  2. Looks great and very relaxing, Sioux. It's lovely to get your bedroom just the way you want it so it can be your little 'refuge' from the rest of the house. A lovely 'me' room. Love what you've done to it. Thanks for sharing and Happy WOYWW!

  17. I wouldn't get a runner - the bed looks lovely as it is. I would put something on the wall above the bedhead, tho! Well done for transforming your room, it looks gorgeous now.

  25. Lovely reveal. Great new look. I can only imagine what the acronym for whats on your bed, new bed, make over, would look like. Sorry I'm late this week. I had a massive tutorial to post yesterday. Happy belated WOYWW.
