I am reading all the great projects at The Inspired Room's procrastinator party and wished that I would have pinned myself down for one project. But I did get the room fluffed and several other things done so does that count??
We brought in the pink chairs and the corner curio cabinet a few weeks ago (more of the furniture from storage)
I love my rose chandelier that came with the house
Isn't that a pretty reflection!
I am still in a quandary about the bedding but for now the crochet coverlet will doDH bought the settee for me for my birthday last year.
Close up of the pretty drapery fabric I used for window treatments- bought it in Phoenix at "Fabric by the Yard" spend less than $30 for all that fabric plus several yards left over!
The burgandy velvet valance was in the room when we bought the house.
More gifts from my friend Millicent. Isn't that a lovely spelter set with matching candelabras and cherub clock that stands on pink marble. I never would have been able to afford something like this - I Know- need candles!
Just the sweetest little cherub!
One of the arms on one candelabra was broken- would anyone know how you repair something like this?
One of my yard long prints
Pretty Victorian lady prints from my Grandmother
I don't want this entry to be too long so will continue all the pretty details later this week- Thank
you for all those who had so much input in this room while I was decorating it. You all are just the best!!

Mary Ellen--Fluffing is half the fun! Your previous owner left you some goodies that seem to fit in perfectly with your style. I love the romantic look and the cherubs!
Oh, your bedroom is just lovely. Everything is done to perfection. I love the pretty soft colors and the chandelier is gorgeous. Everything looks wonderful. Hugs, Marty
What a lovely and comfy room this is...I, too, have the yard long rose print...those roses are just divine, aren't they?
You know I just moved into our home about 6 months ago...I've still not done anything to our bedroom..it's soon to transform though. :0)
I've spent more time knocking out walls and installing windows, moving the kitchen, etc....so I intentionally didn't do much until all of that was finished.
Have a great day,
Stephanie
Mary Ellen, you fluffing really paid off, and I know you must be thrilled with the result! Look forward to seeing the other pretties.
Happy MM...
XO,
Sheila :-)
Very pretty!
Thanks for saying Cindy had a fork chandelier in her birdcage. I have tried to remember for the last couple of days where I had seen one before - you have jogged my memory.
Have a great week.
Oh, Mary, I just love your home and the bedroom is just beautiful! The drapes are perfect. I rather like the coverlet on the bed as it is. I put an off white metlasse on my bed with needlepoint pillows at the head and it looks nice. Can't wait till I can visit it in person!
Have a great week!!!

Hello Mary,
Thanks for stopping by....When you go play with Wordle remember that any spaces between words will be considered one word and scattered randomly in the word cloud...so I typed certain words together using Capital letters to begin them with...you could also do the scripture by using a hyphen between the words and see what happens. It's a blast to play with..you can customize everything.
Hugs,
Stephanie
Mary, I just KNEW you weren't finished yet! Once you are done fluffing you will never want to leave that beautiful room. Looks wonderul you should be proud....sharon
Hi Mary Ellen,
Really good fluffing, I love that word! Your bedroom looks so pretty and victorian, could be in a B&B! Cindy
WOW what a marvelous bedroom you have and that chandelier is the prettiest one I have ever seen !
So peaceful...that's the first thought I had. Then went on to think how beautiful everything was. Looks just perfect.

Very pretty! I do love that chandy. It makes me want to re-do my bedroom. Thanks for sharing.
Oh this is a lovely room. It is so inviting--love the pink chairs especially. I always loved a sitting place in the bedroom and you have a nice one. The curtains are beautiful and what a find to get the fabric at such a price. The chandelier is just awesome--It is gorgeous!!! I like your bedspread because it makes me think of some we had as kids. Yes, your reflection in the mirror is cool. The whole room is great---so is that a real fireplace or an electric thingy or what??
Also I know what you mean about going up and down the stairs. We also had a similar situation. We would use the downstairs bedroom in the summer because it was WAY cooler down there and then we used the upstairs bedroom in the cold times because the heat would rise and it was warmer up there!! But our clothes were all up there and we liked the bathroom up there. But I used the downstairs 1/2 bathroom for all my hair stuff, makeup etc...BUT I can only use my hair dryer in the other downstairs bath room because it won't blow the circuts (sp?).BUT that bathroom has no cupboards for my other hair stuff!! So I go between the 3 bathrooms and thus there is no "guest bathroom".
Now we have finally installed a mini-split in the downstairs bedroom so we have begun usuing it year round. However the closet there is only about 2 and 1/2 feet wide!! So all our clothing is upstairs!! SOOOO I fully understand all the running around you have done!!
WOW WEE MARY, your bedroom is gorgeous. I like how your bedspread matches the bench. I can't believe they left the pretty chandelier, you lucky girl. Everything in that room looks fantastic including those magnificent candelabras are wonderful too.. I think your all setup, but when you do get the candles, oh boy is that going to be lovely.... how sweet!
Very charming!
Very romantic and cozy! :-)
Oh If you are going to be here for Thanksgiving, I would love to meet you for coffee or whatever. Yes, I do find that the GW that is by Sun City Grand has the best things of the two out here. It is on Grand Ave. between Bell Rd. and Reems Rd. Like everything else, it is hit and miss, but that's where I have found most of my dishes and things. Anyway, I don't know what area you're going to be in, but let me know and maybe we can get together. Hugs, Marty
You have some lovely treasures, I especially like that curio cabinet. Thanks for sharing!
Your bedroom is gorgeous!! so romantic and soft! I can't pin down one thing .... I love it all! Blessings!
Gwen
Oh how lovely what a great Master bedroom. The fireplace and the angel art is so charming. Have a great day.
Blessings,
Heidi
Mary this is so pretty!! Love the chandie and that fabric is so lush!!
I am a tweaker too! You have outdone yourself on this! You do such gorgeous vignettes!!
Lou Cinda :)
I love how you did the pictures!! Thanks for stopping by my blog and for the sweet comment on my bamboo planters! I signed up to follow you and would LOVE it if you did the same!!

Mornin' Dearheart...
Well I just had to come by this post after reading your Sunday Favorites post and seeing that you were going to be posting the update of your beautiful master bedroom! Ohhhh my Mary...you have been doing some "fluffing" and it's absolutely gorgeous!!! I am so serious when I say that your master bedroom looks like it came out of a Romantic Homes or Romantic Bedrooms magazine!!! It really is just breathtaking and soooo very beautiful!!! Of course, I just adore that beautiful antique bed and dresser! And girlfriend, I love the pretty white crocheted lace bed coverlet...I think it's perfect!!! Ohhh...and your lovely birthday gift...the settee...gorgeous, gorgeous, GORGEOUS!!! It just looks so perfect at the end of your bed! I love the new furniture additions...that little curio cabinet is fabulous...it looks like it was made to go in this room too! Also the pretty pink wingback chairs...they're lovely! You really have a very spacious bedroom...what a blessing! I had forgotten that you had a fireplace in this room...Ohhh, to have a fireplace in the master bedroom is just soooo awesome! And I love how you've decorated the mantle, Mary! Your dear friend Millicent's Spelter pink marble clock and candelabras are magneficent!!! I've never seen anything like it...so very beautiful and again, so perfect for your pretty master! Hmmm...I'm wondering if you could just get some good metal glue to fix the arm? I know that Russell recently tried to fix the handle that came off of one of my silver creamers...tried soldering it and it didn't stay long (broke off again). I think I'm just going to look for some good glue that's made for metal!
Well Darlin'...what a sweet treat!!! I loved every photo and thoroughly enjoyed my tour of your fabulous master bedroom's metamorphosis!!! Thank you for sharing more of your beautiful home with us!!!
Love ya,
Chari
Mary, I don't even know where to begin...everything you have done here is gorgeous. That chandelier is a treasure. Your photos of everything are just beautiful and I thank you for sharing such beauty today. This room is for dreaming.
Hugs,
June
it is sooooo pretty!! i love how you softened your photos, what a gorgeous place to relax, great job
"(the fluffing never ceases around here!)"
Nor, should it ever cease. :-)
Oh so lovely... And I especially resonate with the fabric of your drapes. Oh my yes!!!!
There isn't anything about that bedroom that isn't lovely and gorgeous, honey! I especially like your feathering of the photos. Just beautiful.
xoxo,
Connie
Your bedroom is stunning! And I love that chandelier too. How lucky were you, that it was left with the house? Awesome!
Your bedroom is amazing!!!
Thanks to share those beautiful photos.
Saludos

What a very pretty room!!! I love the chandy! It's nicely done.
Your bedroom is beautiful! I love it all. The curtains are so pretty and what a bargain. I love that chandelier too. I would love to have one of those like that! Awesome!
You have a lot of pretty treasures!I love the crochet bedspread.
Take care,

Your bedroom is so romantic and cozy. I love that you have a fireplace in there, too. That chandelier is gorgeous!
Jane
Hi Mary,
WOW, Lovely, Awesome and beautiful is your bedroom :)
Love the chandelier...wonderful.
Thanks for sharing.
Warmly,
Deb :)
wonderful fluffing job, all rooms need this now and then, now you are fully refreshed....
Hello Mary Ellen, years ago I had a dear friend named Mary Ellen. You just brought back a memory.
Your bedroom is so lovely. I love all you have done. The yard long is so pretty and your rose chandelier is stunning. Lucky you. Your vintage prints are treasures and so is the fireplace and the settee. I love your bedroom.
Hugs, Jeanne
Hi Mary Ellen! Your bedroom turned out absolutely LOVELY. I could comment on every piece, but it would take tooo long! :) That being said, I first have to tell you how amazed I am that you bought allll that gorgeous curtain fabric (plus more) for a mere thirty-dollar!! It is so gorgeous, and they look great. Now, what a blessing to have that sweet chandelier hanging and waiting for you when you moved in!! I've shown it to Rosie and now she wants one, of course. We collect things with roses in honor of her name. ;) I do love the crocheted bedspread sooo much! But then, I'm biased as I have a similar one on my bed. I just love their simple beauty. It was a lovely tour of a lovely, peaceful place. Thank you so much for sharing with us.
Warmly,
Traceyxox

Hello, Mary Ellen,
Your bedroom is so romantic and beautiful! I love everything about it. That chandelier is gorgeous!!! I love to fluff my nest, too! If I have money to spend, I will always buy something for my home. Thank you so much for stopping by Bunny Cottage for a cup of tea. Blessings to you! Vicki
What a lovely room - thank you for stoping by and commenting I'd call you everyday - if I could get motivated to do it lol - the guilt of not getting done what I said I was going to made me complete them - that was one of the reasons I joined the party - guilt myself a wonderful motivation........
I love to nest> Your home is beautiful and warm. What a blessing for you and your husband to have this opportunity. I've been blogging for about 3 years and the first two were always about decorating and gardening. Now it's a little of everything. Thank-you for stopping by today.
Ginger
fluffing, oooh I love that word, I think I do it all the time
great post, love how it looks...so just right
Sarah
You are creating a fabulous nest there, the colours and little accents are just lovely. Thanks for sharing the inspiration.
You have such beautiful pieces of furniture! I love that dresser in the corner. That wood is amazing!
To answer your question on my blog, yes, I've set up a spray booth in my basement for my paiting. We closed in 3 sides with heavy pastic and open the cellar doors on the 4th wall for ventilation. I have this mainly because I do most of my painting with an HVLP sprayer. Some day I'll do a post on my workshop. :)
Thanks for the visit. Your bedroom looks like a cozy b&b!
You asked about our radiators.
We disconnected them. Covered the floor with cardboard and a water resistant tarp. Stripped with Smart Strip and a lot of elbow grease. It was by no means perfect. It was really messy. I just didn't want to have to move them far. I really wanted to get them powdercoated but....
I think when I get around to the ones down stairs I might get them power blasted.
But that is a project for next summer. Good luck.
That chandelier is beautiful- and unique! It is nice to have something in your house that is so eye catching and different than "standard ceiling fan", isn't it? Lovely!
Gorgeous! Love the soft green paint on the walls...makes a perfect backdrop for your furnishings...and that settee is TDF!
Mary
What a lovely and peaceful room! It must be a wonderful place to retreat to at the end of a long hard day. Thanks for sharing!
Truly lovely. Thank you for sharing during the procrastinators party. I'm looking forward to reading more of your blog. ~Kathy
Wow...what a beautiful and relaxing room! I love it. I wish I could curl up there with a good book!
Thanks for linking to the Show & Tell! :)

Mary Ellen,
Thank you for stopping by my blog and taking the time to comment! You didn't need to post a before and after....your after is fantastic! Isn't God good? He blesses us not just with the big things in life, but little special details, especially for us individually....like we enjoy doing for OUR children. I'm amazed at how well that chandelier matches your things, like it was installed in preparation for you!
It is the detail decorating that is so much fun. It's looking lovely!
Oh!! I love it! Your room is so beautiful, looks like a great place to relax! You have put a lot of thought and loveliness in it and it shows!
Blessings!!
That is so beautiful! I love the crocheted bedspread! The cherub clock is just amazing!
Mary, that corner cabinet is absolutely stunning! I also love that settee. When I saw that first picture with the settee, I knew I loved it, but then you did a close up, and the fabric on it is gorgeous. I also love the floral draperies. You have done such a beautiful job with this room - so romantic and welcoming. laurie

Came by way of H on H's party. What a lovely and cozy bedroom. The chandy is so pretty and it goes so well with all of your other period accessories. I actually like the white bed coverlet because it's simple and unassuming. Great fabric on the drapes, btw.
Sue
