I’ve showed all of you our master bedroom before, but my friend Debra, at Bungalow, is having a Master Bedroom linky party today, so I thought I’d join in and do a little update in there. Not much has changed, just a couple of things.
I loved collecting the furniture for this room. They are all mismatching pieces, from different eras, and picked up one at a time over the years, but I think they work together well. The sleigh bed is newer and everything else is vintage.
That blue comforter was a recent find for the end of the bed and I like how it softens up the white coverlet and adds some color and texture. I did end up replacing the old picked coverlet with one almost just like the original. Scalloped edges, creamy white and it works in here. 
I decorated this room 4 years ago when we moved in here and went with deep blue to please my hubby and decided that white and gold would be a good complement and we’ve been very happy with it. Most of these fabrics came from Calico Corners and it was fun putting them together.
Wall color in here is Sherwin Williams Blonde. Sometimes it photographs more yellow than it really is, but these are pretty accurate. I’ve enjoyed this color as a contrast to the blue and cream. 
Bought these botanicals off Ebay and framed them myself by buying open back frames and having mats cut to fit. Much cheaper than a frame shop would do them. 
We have just enough room in here to add a chair and ottoman along with the TV cabinet.  Having that little reading nook has been very nice. 
This TV armoire was an old china cabinet and you can read how I did that way back when I first started blogging. This was one of my first blogging projects. I’ve definitely gotten better at taking pics since then. 🙂 
And the chair that Grandma Eleanor helped me with (well, let’s face it, she made it) looks really good in here and brightens up the corner more than the gold chair did. 
Two of my favorite antiques that have been with me for a long while. That French armoire (from the late 1800’s) came from Scott’s Antiques in Atlanta way back when.  I would love to get rid of the carpet in here, but it’s not likely to go anywhere anytime soon. That vanity is my catch all for everything. I’m sure you know how that is, right? Everything get piled on here, but I actually do put on my makeup here and use the old fashioned lighted makeup mirror. That will take you back. 
Reflection in the old mirror of my vanity. A couple of you asked about the letters in the reflection, so had to go investigate. Can you believe I never noticed those before? Apparently there were stickers or something on that old mirror and when it aged, it imprinted the letters. It’s an old cloudy mirror. The letters don’t spell anything that made sense to me. I’ve tried cleaning that thing, but it is aged permanently.
Here are the matching vintage nightstands close up (probably from the 40’s or 50’s). I love the detail on these and when you open the door, there are 3 drawers behind it. I always have books and magazines on my side.
Looking towards the blue master bathroom, you get a peek at my tile project on the whirlpool tub. 
Another fun find from a couple of years ago, this chest comes in handy for keeping our clothes organized. It’s probably from the 50’s, not sure, but it is made by Thomasville. I found it at an antique store over 2 years ago. 
Another look at Frenchy.
And that’s another updated peek at our master bedroom. It’s cozy and we do enjoy it. Thanks for stopping by to visit me today!
Click on over to Debra’s for lots more master bedroom tours. You’re sure to be inspired if you need some new ideas!
I love it all…but the botanical prints and the french style cabinet really spoke to me. Those are the things I will watch for to enhance my space.

Hi Rhoda,
Thank you for linking up. I sure do appreciate having you on the tour!
What can I say about your bedroom, it’s perfect. I love how the colors flow and how the collected pieces complement each other.
About that piece in the mirror’s reflection, the one that has large letters on it…it’s interesting. Did I miss something? Is it fabric on a night stand or a piece of furniture? It adds lots of interest to the room.
Rhoda, your room is just so pretty. I absolutely love that armoire! You are so great at putting things together. I always learn from you. 🙂 Come visit me today too.
Beautiful, Rhoda! I love your painted TV cabinet. Not sure if I read that post, so I’m going to head over there now. I love the combination of colors you used in here. The prints over the bed are great.
Your bedroom is lovely. Your antique armoire and dresser are gorgeous. The blue and yellow is so pretty too. Such a beautiful and inviting room. Hugs, Marty
Rhoda, your room is so welcoming and elegant…just like you! It is exactly the room I’d picture you having, and those colors together just SING! THanks for sharing!
I’m so curious about that lettered piece as well. It’s such an interesting and exciting addition…please please tell us about it!
Hey, on the reflection thing, that’s an old cloudy mirror on the vanity that is reflecting. Maybe it had something on it at one time that resembled letters, I didn’t even notice the reflection until y’all said something. But that’s what your seeing, the cloudy mirror. I’ll look at it closer and see what’s on there.
Beautiful room…love the mix of colors and the blue and white really adds the pop.
Love the blue and especially with the gold! That French Armoire is just fabulous!! Beautiful!
A very pretty room..love all your furniture.
Hi Rhoda…Wow, beautiful! What a lovely job you’ve done on this room. Question: The drapes…did you make these? What is the fabric? They are lovely! Thanks for sharing! Beth
Beth, yes, they were made, but not by me. My seamstress mom made them right after we moved in here. They are silk. Bought the fabric and had her make them for me. I don’t recommend hanging silk in a window that gets lots of sun though, unless you have some UV film on your windows. These drapes have faded some because of the sun. Silk is pretty fragile for a bright window.
Gorgeous! Just beautiful. I love the colors!
Hi Rhoda!
You never cease to amaze me…your taste is impeccable!
Everything you do just works so well together. 🙂
I love how you call that makeup mirror “old fashioned”. I had one of those when I was a teenager in the 60’s and I haven’t thought of myself as old before now but may I should! I guess when you start seeing some of your childhood toys in the antiques stores you’re old.
Your room is elegant and pretty. I love the colors and all of the antiques. I have a vanity, too and it is nowhere as neat as yours! I have the makeup mirror as well. Don’t know how people can see those tiny lower eyelashes without one!!
Lovely post, Rhoda!
xoxo

Gorgeous bedroom. I love, love, love frenchy!!! And your vanity. Thanks for sharing your bedroom. I totally forgot about Debra’s party. Now I have to see if I can find some bedroom photos so I can play as well.
P.S. I love the new blog look!!!!
