The master bedroom was put together with
things we had, some older pieces of furniture
that were used in previous homes,
and great sale and found items.
Very budget decorating.
A Longaberger basket filled with knitting supplies.
I'm still working on that chunky colorful scarf.
That's the extent of my knitting skills.
The bedding, matelasse' set, log cabin quilt set and
the lamps were JCP outlet sale items, 80% off.
The original watercolors were from Larry's parents.
We had them reframed and rematted.
They look better here than anywhere we've
had them in the past.
Now, the log headboard was a real find!
It was a twin bed that was discarded in
my Florida neighborhood on bulk trash day.
You should have seen me trying to load
these heavy pieces by myself into our van.
They are perfect here. Larry joined the headboard
and footboard (luckily the same size)
to make a king size rustic log headboard.
Drapery panels $10/pair .
The set of 4 oil paintings, also outlet deals.
They were found on sale
at the JCP Outlet store.
The colors work great in this room
The ceiling fan has a rustic mountain motif.
It has two lights with the top one a soft night light.
The wild oil painting above the mirror was from
a church yard sale here. I got it for $4.
Larry built the rustic wood frame from a
discarded pallet, as he has done
HERE.
A Jack Schmitt watercolor we've had for years.
It's great that the art we've had works so
beautifully with the decor we have here in NC.
Rustic frame I found on sale at Target and
an old lamp.
A collection of thrifty throws.
I find these handmade afghans at thrift
stores here. I wash and dry them, so they are
fluffy soft to snuggle with.
Some are stored in a Longaberger basket.
This branch ladder was found at a local crafts
show. I've added a few lap blankets,
a cowboy hat and rope I found in the garage.
The top of the dresser had an old oil lamp
that I've added electric to, a dough bowl
filled with sweetgum balls that I gathered
on a road trip stop by a Florida forrest.
That's a poster sized picture of me
a few years ago....OK many years ago.
TEMPUS FUGIT
That was carved into the stone walls above the
entrance of my junior high school in Florida,
Robert E. Lee.
I never knew what it meant, but I do now!
Rita
an oil painting at a thrift store.
This was a large 30"x30"
I found a place for it above the chest of
