The Three Little Bears

I've always think of the three little bears when I see this room.

I've been working on this room for awhile now, bit by bit.  



I just recently changed out the lamps.

Don't you just love that embroidery work on the shades? The shades are actually white, but look pink when the lamps are on.

I used some lamps I already had, painted them, and bought new shades. Here's the before of the lamp bases.  I used my homemade chalk paint, you can click here for the recipe.  

Two of the beds are for my girls and the other one is for a visiting friend or grandma.  You might remember a previous post where I explained why I believe everyone should have a headboard, click here if you missed it.  These beds have been without headboards for a long time now. Somehow the headboards were not in the budget as we did this and that at the ranch.   

I wanted white iron headboards for the room, but also couldn't find exactly what I was looking for.  Then I found some adorable headboards, but they were $250 each (x3) I decided to wait.

Then I saw these at Target online for about $100 each.  It looks like they have had another price reduction, because they are now $95,  click here.  These are actually part of Rachel Ashwell's Simply Shabby Chic line.  They were on clearance, and you know I love clearance!!  

Here's a before photo of the room.  It's a subtle difference, but I think the headboards and lamps make the room look finished.  Here's a before below.  The lamp shades are just too small for the room. I knew that, it just took me awhile to decide what to do in here.

I purchased all of the ottomans from TJ Maxx, then slipcovered them in burlap.

And because I just couldn't leave it along, I moved some other lamps around.  Here's what the red chest looks like now with the newer lamps.

Here's the lamps I had here before.  I just didn't think the lamps went well with the chest, although the shades had red in them. 

Sooo, I'm thinking I'm done with this room finally.  Did I say 'done'? I meant 'done for now'. 

Here's a list of the parties that I visit on a regular basis.  I might have shared this link at any number of these.
