Stunning Bedroom Update at the Dureka's


We spent the Christmas holidays with Steve's family at sister Donna's beautiful home. Here is the bedroom where we slept. Donna and her talented daughter Cari had redecorated just before our arrival. 

The antique furniture was such a cozy touch, along with the nautical theme.


The blue stripes were so eye-catching as you came up the stairs and into the room. And notice the wooden floor,  just perfect.



Cari hand-painted the shells and coral in the pictures. There were so many warm touches in the room, it made us feel very special.


                                    Thank you Cari!

Here is another.






Lots of good ideas for a cohesive look in your home. Space planning ideas too. The bedrooms are smaller, closets are not so bad. Lots to consider.

The Lowboy Redux



Oh me, oh my! I loved the lowboy for about 10 minutes and then hated it again. (See here The Lowboy Is Complete!!)

So... Blue is my favorite color. Thinking blue will bring me peace and joy I painted it blue with Annie Sloan Chalk paint in Nepoleon Blue.  Blue top and blue over the leather. So far so good. 😍







PS: I still might move it to another place but we need the drawer space.
