The Reveal

I thought you might like to see how the lake bedroom turned out after all my tedious wallpaper removal. 


Here are a couple of photos of the bed with new duvet and pillows.  I also hung semi-sheer white curtains.


This is a before photo of the bed with the old wallpaper and cranberry bedspread.  I have also moved the furniture around in the room and it makes it look so much bigger.    This room is really tiny and there isn't much that can make it look bigger believe me.  It is just what we call  it a room for the bed and nothing more.
 This wardrobe piece is now in the nook where the bed used to be.
 The old wallpaper gave the room a ruby glow but it was getting old and shabby.


The new blue is very tranquil and fresh feeling.

The old wallpaper had an old fashion feel and the blue is a much cleaner look.  But as I was looking at the room last weekend I realized my walls now look naked.  I tried to tell my self it's the new cleaner look.  But self said "Girl, you know you like your things."  So I am on the look out for just the right things for the new blue walls.

Your room looks beautiful. Stella. It looks so calm and serene and I like that you used a bright shade of blue rather than a real pastel. I got some paint chips yesterday, thinking of doing the same thing. I love your new look and the furniture is so nice.

HI STELLA!!!!
OH I LOVE the new look!!!I am a big BLUE fan, my other house my primarily BLUE, so when we moved here, I wanted something differnet and went with Burgundy and gold, just the past few months, I changed one bedroom to an aqua color blue and I love it, but something about robin blue and or country blue, yours looks so fresh and inviting. Small bedrooms are a challenge, but you pulled it off, the color opened up the room just like the sky!!!
THANK YOU SO much for all your kind words during my sickness, I sure appreciate all the love and support and mostly the Prayers.
THANK YOU
BIG HUGS,

It looks so wonderful Stella. I love how the blue makes the furniture pop. The bedspread is just so pretty. I am a blue and white fan and have it all over the house so your bedroom looks wonderful to me.

hAAHAAAA, I like my things, too, Stella. I don't like a nekked wall !! :))

I love your new look. The blue is so pretty and your new bedding is pretty, too.

Bless your heart, I know how hard removing wallpaper is. I just hate that job. I am about to start removing a wall paper border in a guest room and I am dreading it like the plague.

Oh my stars, you removed all that paper. I need you to come and do that in my dinningroom. THIS is awesome and there is nothing prettier than blue and white together.

Awesome!
