Neutral Bedding with a Touch of Glam

Have you got your guest room ready for Christmas company yet?   I hadn't changed anything in the guest room for a long long time,  so I thought "why not this year"    Then.......I thought....the guest room is seldom used!     So,  I decided to get new bedding for our master bedroom and give the "hand me down" bedding to the guest room.   Why not!!!   The bedding in the master bedroom is only a couple of years old and still in good condition,   so ....that's what I did!

I decided to go with a neutral color scheme this time,  lots of texture,   a little glam and a touch of elegance.    H couldn't care less what color his bedding is....just as long as the sheet  are soft.    I didn't buy a blanket to replace the one that went to the guest room.    Instead,  I chose to have a white cotton sheet next to us and a dark beige satin sheet on top of that.    They aren't heavy and the layers keep us really warm.  

I chose a bedspread with a 30" drop gathered skirt similar to the one I had admired at Pine Cone Hill,   but at a much lower price.   (At Home)

This is the one I liked so well at Pine Cone Hill,  

I also created a new floral design for the side table......

 I replace the round table                                     with a narrow side table and chair.

The round table covered with  a wedding dress skirt had been there about 5-6 years so it was tire for a change.    Don't worry,  there will still be ruffles.     I ordered ruffled curtains for the window that should be here Tuesday.

My "new to me" chair is a recent yard sale purchase.....

I haven't decided if I will paint it white or leave it natural.....

I also haven't decided what material to use for the new upholstery.    I have narrowed it down to these two.    The vintage floral piece is fabric that I have been saving for just the right project,  and the other piece matches the bedspread..   

I have the fabric draped on the chair so I can  live with it a few days,   then  I'll drape the other piece over the chair for a few days.   Then I will make my choice.

I have the bed turned back so you can see how I layered the sheets    I also put the white fur throw at the end of the bed in case I get cold during the night....there's one just like it one H's side..

I changed the side table on the other side of the bed too,   and I have plans to freshen up the fireplace.

.Merry Christmas!
