Then- the fun part- choosing the accessories that that help pull all together.I love that!<br />House Beautiful used to do a Before&After:A One Day Makeover that was so instructive. In one day- a designer would tackle a room by rearranging or repurposing furniture and accessories from other parts of the house, and then would come a quick shopping trip for for rugs, pillows or curtains, etc.By the time the home owner returned at the end of the day- s/he had a beautiful new room!<br />Can't wait to see Kris'finished bedroom!<br />DoloresAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-780745603109193534.post-58700695663723179172013-06-24T01:26:32.199-04:002013-06-24T01:26:32.199-04:00I adore you!

You are making me rethink dark wallpaper. Can't wait to see the finished project! My most fun in the world is to choose bedding.

You ...Okay, so I've always wondered about this. You add 6" to the length of the side rails of the double bed and then just set the box springs on the rails? Doesn't is slip and slide around when you lean on it to make the bed etc? Sorry to be persnickety, but this is really important!!!! Opens up a realm of new opportunities, what with all the antique double beds at every antique sale and estate sale and all! (Not to mention the 3/4 beds...could be doubles...)<br />Thanks so much!
