$10.00 Decorating

A $10.00 bag of Battenburg lace  is my inspiration for our bedroom redo.   I bought it at a yard sale this past week end.
There was a queen size duvet cover in the bag....

a pair of shams...

a bed skirt...  

a round table cloth...

a set of curtains.....

and some other assorted pieces!
Everything a girl would need to redo her bedroom!
I painted this picture frame white and stapled fabric over the black rose picture to freshen it up...

I added a pot of fresh boxwood to the end table...my new "go to" plant!



and hung a cross in our bedroom.
This is the view of the back yard from our window...I  hung a dream catcher that I made over the bed.  The yellow building with the pink flowers is where I store seasonal decorations and the one behind it is H's workshop. 


I have decorated our bedroom for Halloween, Christmas, Spring, and now Summer!

  2. WOW! That's a wonderful deal! I always go to an area flea market for lace, because she has it a $1 a piece, but they certainly aren't duvet covers, curtains, etc. I wish! haha! It's beautiful!

  6. Penny!! Love this transformation with linen!! Beautiful pieces!! I really like the idea of how you layered the linens on the mantle. I have so many dresser scarves and other pieces that this is such a wonderful way to display them! Thanks so much for the inspiration!!

  10. All of that for just $10.00?!! I am going to have to start going back to garage sales around here maybe, as there are so many "Goodwill type stores" in the area, garage sales have a hard time competing. You found so much and turned it into one of the most lovely bedrooms imaginable.

  11. Hi Penny,
    I also love Battenburg lace! Wow! All that for $10.00 You are an amazing treasure hunter. I love the Antique Cookie Jar on your mantle. Is it from Bavaria? The pink and green look stunning with the white lace. I can't wait to go treasure hunting again! It is amazing what you find.
    Thanks for sharing!
    Have a wonderful Mother's Day!
    Take care,

  13. Boxwood is a great choice. I've never grown one inside, but if you give it light I bet it will do just fine. Happy Mother's Day!

  14. Beautiful, Penny!
    What a great find! I have been looking for a ruffle I have here somewhere of battenburg lace and It is driving me razy that I can't find it! SActually it was a valance on a BL shower curtain. Our son decided to see how scissors worked...so the curtain had to be replaced, but I kept that valance and the BL center of the shower curtain. I use it as a table topper now! And you were able to get so many pieces!!! you will ahve SUCH fun with those pieces! Enjoy,
    LOVE your bedroom. I am planing pink geraniums tomorrow! this is a first for me! usually I plant red...
    You are the Queen of pink. so romantic and feminine! Love your pinkness!
    Hearts,
    Betsy

  15. So here I am, cup in hand, craning over my desk, nose pressed against the screen taking note of all the lovely details of this room. I think it would be nice to just tumble into a room like this - a la 'Alice Through the Looking Glass'. Not so nice for you, though. You'd be over run with bloggers. We'd be like mice.

  16. What a great find for $10! I love the effect.

  17. You scored an awesome deal for $10! I want to go "junkin'" with you girl! I love how you used your find!
