BPOH Bedrooms

Now keep in mind we are redecorating and fixing up this old house. This is our bedroom. The bedsheet has been replaced by wonderful vertical blinds. Right on!

There are no pics on the wall yet. There are no switch plate covers either. My quilt that I have just finished is at the quilters and will be done today. So this is boring. We don't seem to mind.


This poor comforter has seen better days. I'll post when the new quilt goes up.














The closet doors are mirrored. This is an old oak piece. I like it. Very warm and cozy.













On top of that oak piece is this mini wood burning stove that my daddy gave me. Precious isn't it. All the little pots come off and you can open the doors and play with it.











I love this flag basket. I rescued it from the trash somewhere. Who would throw something like this away? I ask you!

I'll hang it when I find the right place. I love americana and primitive. I plan to make our home warm and cozy that way.








This is my night stand. It is really 2 plastic tubs with a Amish Sunlight and Shadows baby quilt that I made draped over it. I bought the Noah's Ark little drawer thing years ago. Our night clock, my CD player, headphones, floss and a glass of water.








This is BH's little hanger thing. He hangs various shirts, belts and whatnot over it. Yes, it is in front of his closet. No, I don't know why he can't hang them IN his closet.

The space in front of the hanger thing is where the laundry basket goes. It is in the laundry area at the moment.






The dresser that we share for our unmentionables. Very nice oak piece that matches the other oak piece. It has a wheat design carved in it. I love it.











Beside the oak dresser is a oak quilt rack that I found in BH's house when I moved in. How did he know he was going to fall in love with the quilt queen? The pinwheel baby quilt is in front. The quilt right behind it is my pumpkin quilt. I'll have to show that later and then right behind that is a denim quilt that was the first quilt I ever made over 20 years ago.





This is the entrance to the office. My sewing machine has moved from the kitchen table to the office. Well one of my sewing machines.
This is BH's desk.

This is my desk. I have my favorite bears on the left corner. One of them is a Furskin bear signed by it's maker, Xavier Roberts of Cabbage Patch doll fame. His name is Dudley. Then a jointed bear that I made years ago. Then a Fivel mouse. The comp is on my desk and I'm so happy we finally have a home computer in the house.
In other news:

Tom got out again. That blasted turtle. I put him in a box with bigger sides so that he couldn't climb out and what he did was tip the box over. So BH and I get home from work and he takes a quick shower to get ready to go out and he hollers from the bedroom. I come running expecting to see a snake or something in the bedroom and no, it's just Tom. You know Tom would run and hide if he could. Since he can't he just looks up at BH, all cute and funny. "Dude, somehow I fell out of the box. Hi! I'll just be on my way now."

I love to hear about Tom escaping! Your quilts are so pretty. I can't wait for you to show them to us! I used to hang sheets over our windows, too, before we got the blinds. Is the little stove your dad gave you an antique? It's so cute.

Nope, it's not an antique. I love it. It really is funny when we come home and Tom is discovered in another part of the house. Mo never ever gets out. The egg still has not hatched. I wonder if it will.
