Shopping the Cottage for Mom's Room

Those of you who follow me know that my Mom passed away last month

and that I have been planning a big renewal of her bedroom in her

memory.  In preparation of doing that, I have been going through her

things and choosing ones that had special meaning to her.  I will be

tweaking these things a bit to give them a fresher and newer look

while maintaining their integrity.  This item was one of her favorites.

Mom picked up this night stand at a consignment shop.  While I like the

lines of the piece, I think it really needs a facelift.  Mom thought so too

and it was one of the things we discussed doing so I know she would

not mind me shaking it up a bit.

Here is another piece she loved.  This little occasional table has a marble top

and I also think it has real potential.  I have some ideas ...

More ideas for these two matching pieces.

Mom had two of these matching prints.  I will be using these for sure.

I repainted this chair for Mom a few years ago.  It used to have a brownish

pickled finish, but we both liked it so much better after I painted it an

off white.  I am recovering the seat with this fabric.  You may recall that 

the other day I showed you a little foot stool I painted and recovered with this 

same fabric.  No wonder it looks familiar to you.

This lamp ... well more ideas.  I especially want to do some tweaking to

that shade.

Oh and I have some ideas for this base too.

And another piece.  Mom had a real love for columns.  Maybe she lived

in Rome in another lifetime ;-)  All joking aside, this column will be used

too.  

So while I am finishing some of the tweaking in my studio, and 

deciding on a paint color for it's walls, I will be busy shopping around

my cottage for just the right elements for Mom's room.  Stay tuned for

more updates and have a great weekend!
