Mrs. and Mrs Choate's Bedroom

I'm feeling pretty accomplished this last week for not only finishing our guest bedroom but also the master bedroom (if you can even call it a master, its maybe a few extra square feet)! I grew up loving "Tuscany" colors...lots of deep reds, golds, olive greens...but I've gotten bored with it and have wanted something more rustic that feels cool and calm. I've never really liked decorating with blues, and now I can't get enough of it! So after purchasing a beautiful turquoise quilt from Target (on clearance of course!) for our bed, I started collecting other things from thrift stores, auctions, consignment stores that would complete the room...

My favorite purchase? Definitely these old barn doors I picked up from a antique store for $45. As soon as I saw them I thought....yep, that's our new headboard. I picked up some letters from Hobby Lobby for our names and spray painted them white.

I got the chandelier from an online auction. I'll have to get a better picture of that later

Whiskey snuck onto the bed during my photo session, too cute to move her ; )

 Our bed is ridiculously high, like "Paul Bunyan slept here" high....so I was having a hard time finding nightstands that were tall enough for each side of the bed. I saw these antique folding chairs at a consignment store in Boise. *lightbulb!* With help from the hubby, we nailed them to wall to create the most perfectly rustic nightstands.

LOVE IT

 Once again, I had hideous sliding closet doors to do away with. I sewed these paisley drapes to make the closet more chic.

I loved the window treatment I did in the guest bedroom and it was so so easy. Why not do it again?

Love this blue chair I picked up from an auction for $30...it goes perfectly in our room : ) The pillow came from the Goodwill for $1

This is still one of my favorite pieces I've done : ) You can read about that project here.

I got this old window frame also from an auction for .50 cents! Just added a couple things that pull the look together...

Have a great Tuesday!
