Tropical Cottage Bedroom,

Welcome to my bedroom!!!!

Boy, there's a sentence I never thought I'd post on the internet!!!

This is my Florida room of sleep.

I chose a Cowtan & Tout fabric that has the feel of a cabbage rose print, but is full of tropical flowers.

(Once again, it's not until I load the picture on the blog, to talk about it, that I see all the boo boos. The seat cushion is upside down. The repeat of the fabric should flow over the top and down the side. 

I'm NOT reshooting this.

At least I fluffed up the cushion before I shot the chair.)

I LOVE THIS CHAIR!!!!!

I got it from Scalamandre.

It's the perfect bedroom size.

This is my dressing table.

Note how the mirror is too high, so that when I'm seated at the table, I can't see myself?????

THAT WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT!!!

I love dressing tables, I try to put one in every bedroom I do. 

I just think they're pretty.

It's so much fun to accessorize them.....

I don't wear perfume, it gives me headaches, 

BUT

I love vintage perfume bottles.

These make me so happy, my toes curl just looking at them.....

Notice the special tortoise shell effect on the silver tray?

It took me 9 years to create this look!!!!!!

This is what happens when you don't polish nothin'!!!!

I really need to start polishing my silver.

The dressing table is split reed.

If you've been religiously reading my blog, you know it's one of my favorite forms of furniture.

When I found this in a junky antique store in Cambridge Ma, I couldn't believe my eyes. 

I was one very excited decorator!!!!!

Here it is, just waiting for me to scoop it up and take it home!!!

This is a picture I snapped of the room, before I bought the house.

Here's the same view now.....

I changed a few little things......

Inside and out....

First, I rearranged where EVERYTHING went....

This was the first week, after I started to move in.....

I have so much more to talk about, but I spent all of today and yesterday taking pictures......

editing them in Picassa

editing them in PicMonkey

and then.....

watermarking them, 

that I am bushed, and will continue later in the week.

I am going up to Massachusetts this week for my Mom's 91st birthday!!!

So I might be posting a little later than Thursday.

But I will get all my blog posts in, 

'cuz I don't want to be losing the precious followers that I have painstakingly acquired!!!!

Later, Gator
