A Mini Bedroom Make-over and a Trip!

Hey there! It's been a cool dreary week and I 'm feeling a bit like a mole!  Hopefully this week will be better with some sun and more seasonal temps.  On a brighter note I am participating in Met. Monday and Blue Monday with our lovely hostesses Susan and Sally.  Please visit their lovely blogs for some inspirational posts!

 

My Metamorphisis is mini but I do think it changes the look of our bedroom.   Before pic.  I liked the battenberg style curtains but they covered up our lovely windows and when  I pushed them apart they just looked  scrunchy.

 

The after.  I found some white crinkly style  panels that I thought would make the room seem more open and airy!   Below, another before. 

I think the after opens up our smallish bedroom and takes better advantage of the view!  Privacy is not a big issue for us, we live in the boonies after all and  close our blinds at night. 

I moved the end tables around and added this lace table topper I recently found thrifting.   I think it adds an  old fashioned and romantic look with my GoneWith the Wind Lamp.  Soon I will  change to a more cozy looking quilt for winter.  My MIL is a quilter and I have found a pic of one I adore.  Can't wait for that!!

Some exciting bit of news to share!   My hubby and I will be traveling to Phoenix at the end of this month to visit with my son Joshua and his wife Dawn.  We will  get to see my brother Tom and   I will get to meet some of my fellow bloggers at an AZ luncheon held in Phoenix!  I am so looking forward to this!! I bought our plane tickets today.  Now to rent a car and hotel room.  I'm  feeling a bit like an old hat at this.  Little did I know when my son took a teaching job  in Phoenix it might be for a long stretch of time.  With the economy  the way it is they can't just up and move back to Wisconsin since they have jobs!   

sin.  Now their building a house!  I am so excited and can't wait to see the progress but I am also a little blue.  Josh and Dawn have tried for months to buy a home in Phoenix.  They made several accepted offers and you would think with all the foreclosures things would move quickly. It seems to be just the opposite.  Finally, they found a promising area and decided to build. The home may be ready as early as Thanksgiving, so I may be heading back to Phoenix a second time to help them move.  This time will be for fun though, can't wait!  Have a great Monday everyone,I need to go get caught up on my blog reading!  Cindy
