Ucycled Bedroom Decor - Colour!

Up and coming soon I have not one but two bedframes to upcycle or in this instanceit's what I'm going to call a luxecycle!

I've decided to go a little out there regarding colour! and create an Individual look in a fresh and sunny colour that will brighten up you home or beach retreat!

A bed  you won't find on your high street!.

 

Inspired by springtime and the glorious Colours nature springs up all around us at this time of year,

I've decided to use yellow as I think it will make a great focal point in your bedroom. With a neutral white background and crisp white bed linens or perhaps you may prefer to mix it up with a touch of grey its sure to create a stunning Individual look.

 

I am really interested in colour psychology and how colour effects our moods and temperament. Its an interesting fact how we all have

our own favourite colours whether at home or on deciding what to wear.
Yellow is creative from a mental aspect, it is the colour of new ideas helping us find new ways of doing things, yellow is the practical thinker not the dreamer. The colour yellow is uplifting and illuminating offering hope, happiness, cheerfulness and fun. Yellow is the best colour to

create enthusiasm for life and can awaken greater confidence and optimism.

 why wouldn't we incorporate in our interiors.

 

 

 

 

 

Here's a sneak peek!
Hoping to have this finished by the end of February.

 

 

Vintage Bedroon Decor

Lovely old style dressing table

 

Circa: 1940 - 50s

 

 A bow frontage designed dresser

with a set of three central drawers and two cupboards,

the dresser comes with a very beautiful large mirror

which I have to say as with all vintage items has acquired a few age spots but I feel this adds to its charm & character and does not spoil its beauty in any way, as with all vintage items its had its knocks and bumps- but hey that's why we love them.

In the end I did decide to replace the

 drawer knobs with a very lovely set from

 'Knobbles & Bobbles'

 

Available to buy now in my ebay shop.

 

PRICE: £122.00

Upcycling: Bedroom decor

This week I will be making the finishing touches to the 1940's bedroom dresser I have been working on. I decided to use the Autentico paints and have opted for 'Pebbles' a extremely  pale grey in fact quite the colour of very pale pebbles! I don't know why that surprises me only I was expecting the paint to be a little more on the grey side. I'm quite new to the full range of colours at Autentico but still having said that I'm very happy with the overall finish. Pebbles is very neutral relaxing colour that will fit into any colour scheme so all's good. 

Now for a splash of colour! I have painted inside the drawers using Autentico again using 'Antique Turquoise' this colour I have used before and I love it. Here's a little sneak peek!

Having removed all the hardware I wasn't sure if I wanted to keep the original drawer pulls or replace them but as they are quite

large and weeny bit unattractive I'm thinking to replace, with my past pieces I would normally either re- paint and revamp! as I really don't see the need to be wasteful plus I do find the old vintage drawer pulls so very ornate and so beautiful.

But this time I'm thinking to revamp some old ones and see what happens ...
