Room for Change, Decorating Cents

Do you remember these shows?

I enjoyed them both 

as they covered a large variety of styles 

and redesigns.

They've since long gone from TV

but they were inspiring while they aired.

I'm about to begin my own room for change

using my decorating cents!!!

If you visit me often

you know I'm always repainting something

when I can fit the process in 

after I tend to the store

 and fill the shelves with complimentary decor.

While I no longer sell my painted furniture pieces on line,

it gives me some new found time to 

paint my home ideas.

Finding the time can be a challenge!!

However~~~

If something sits still too long,

it will get a makeover.

It's only paint right?

And

I've been swinging my paint brush

over the years to relove just about 

every piece of furniture in my Texas Cottage.

Years ago I shared these next two pieces

from the 1940's

This style is Art Deco

with a mix of wood design and modern drawer hardware.

In fact,

this bedroom set was my parents wedding set from 1945.

I did try and sell it at one time,

but pulled away from that idea 

and

just couldn't do it.

Look at the round mirror and rounded lines

of the style.

We've been enjoying this set

in a guest room for many years

and I left it alone.

Safe from my paint brush

thinking it must be left original.

It has begun to dry a bit from age~ 

so now it's time for a redesign

and

I know my mother would say.

Go For It!!

So after much thought

and keeping things neutral.

I will take inspiration from the

quilt I'm using for spring,

the chair I custom designed several years ago

and 

replanted here in this quest room 

from the living room,

and more inspiration from

 the pillows I created and styled on the bed.

I'm really finding, keeping neutral backgrounds

throughout my home,

give room to change things up with accents.

Vintage bits and pieces will be a focus here

while I plan to leave the bed's

headboard and foot board

original for an anchor in the room.

Some time it's better~ not to paint everything.

Now the fun begins

and 

I can't wait to share the completion soon.

Do you have a Room For Change

using Decorating Cents?

See you soon.
