Pink Saturday

This is my first post for "Pink Saturday" put on by the wonderful Beverly. I decided to share with you pictures of my spare bedroom. It is a work in progress, so there are a few changes I will still be making, but you will get the idea. I LOVE pink. It is my very favorite color. I am the proud Mom of 2 sons, so Pink was never a color that I used in my decorating...until my sons moved out. I converted my babies room into a pink oasis. (When he moved home from college, he was shocked at the room, and moved into our guest house. Now, maybe if I convert that into a pink palace he will get his own place. hehe ) I don't love the toile bedspread, and the dust ruffle is waay to short, but I'm not done making the one I have in mind. I will share pics when it is done. I recovered an old bench that we had, it was very ugly, and I think the pink silk with black fringe is nice.

I thought the mirrored makeup table looked nice. I have it covered with my many treasures. You can see where I tufted the bottom half of the silk covered walls.

This is a close up of the wallpaper. I covered the top half of the walls in the wallpaper, and then padded the bottom half, and covered it in the pink and white checked silk, I then tufted the walls and added buttons. I love the finished look.

For a headboard, I used black velvet, and then added the silk ribbons and buttons. You can't tell from the pictures, but it is tufted also. I love it. This is the view from the turret in the room. When we were remodeling I told my husband that if we had a Turret our house would look like a castle, so he had the builder put on a turret. It looks amazing from the outside, and the inside.
Another view of the sitting area in the turret. I still need to add a curtain to the door, but haven't had time. I also need a couple of nice rugs, I guess I had better go shopping. hehe I hope you enjoyed your tour of my pink room.

Have a lovely day,
