What is the number one question I get asked? After “What color is that wall?” the most asked question is “Where did you buy that?”
Since I use a lot of antiques and I make my own bedding, readers walk away without good buying sources. Today I am going to try something new. I thought I would take a room, and break it down and get you sources for products similar to what I have in the room.
I thought I would start with my bedroom. Let’s look at some similar items that would give you a similar look.
Note the soft neutral colors, and natural materials, the linen bedding and wool rug. The patterns are subtle and neutral. The reclaimed hardwood floor is a dark coffee stain over antique white oak flooring. The window treatments information can be found here. The settee is an antique covered in real antique grainsacks with the original monogram. The stacking tables are vintage along with the silver champagne bucket.
The iron on the bed adds another layer of texture to the room. Note the linen pillows and the little embroidered lavender pillow. I made the bedspread, but I found some similar ones that I’ll show you at the end of the post.
Below there is an antique pine armoire at the other end of the room topped with a French laundry basket. On the wall I have a very large oil painting of two girls. It’s one of my favorites. The antique Louis XIV chairs are covered in linen. I added some fluffy fur pillows.
The table is a vintage Florentine table and the lamp too is vintage, probably from the 50’s or 60’s.
This was fun shopping for you. I hope you find something that suits you.

I also wanted to show you a few of my fav pictures from the reader day last week.
I loved this old iron bed from Sweet Patina Love.
This display of dishes from Julie really caught my eye.
And lastly this guest room I found to be quite charming. (No name was on it.)
I am drooling over the sconces above your bed!!! I have been on a search for a pair!!
So beautiful and cozy looking. Would love to duplicate the entire room!
I’m so glad that the “draping” bedspreads are coming back in style/trend. I have always loved them.
They are classically simple, elegant and romantic. To me, that is never out of style.
The picture above Julie and the beautiful cream pitchers where is that? I would love to find some like them. Also, good job on cleaning out the clutter from bedroom. Looked great!
Deb, that is a reader photo, so I don’t have the answer to that.
What’s your wall color?
I Love the whole room! Coffee in bed with your book and mug would be perfect!!!
Love it!!! Love your whole home! Your daughter is beautiful!
Thanks for ‘shopping’ for us!! I adore your bedroom (entire house)!! Your posts always inspire me!! Thank you!!
Celia
Beautiful!
I have most of this “stuff” but need to pull it all together for this look. You are my inspiration!
Lovely peaceful room.
The flooring is just beautiful! I just finished the long, stressful process of picking out new flooring for the entire first floor of my home. I am anxiously waiting for it to be installed. I wonder if anyone else always feels worried that they made the right choice as it’s such a big decision and not something that you can easily change?
Oh yes that’s a big, stressful decision.
Thanks for the shopping, Anita!
This is a very clever post. Thank you for doing the “shopping” for us!
Yummy
I love your bedrooms and style. It is all beautiful
Love it all. Thanks for sharing sources.
Love you he color palette in your bedroom, would love to know what color is on your doors and also your walls.
Thank you.
Isela, all of that info is here. https://cedarhillfarmhouse.com/2015/07/what-color-is-that-wall-and-more-questions-answered.html
I love the thought of having a big cozy reading chair in the bedroom. I will need a bigger house in order to accomplish this. Love the ideas though!
Who knew that those iron beds would become so popular!!?? I grew up with those beds and should have begged Mom for one of em when I got married and moved away from home…sigh!!:(
Love all the French pieces!…Christine
Time to reorganize all the treasures I have from from our family home that have been in boxes for years. They deserve to be loved and honored again! Thank you!
Your decor is very soothing and peaceful. I love that you make your bedding. I can do that.
The bedding is beautiful and the rug is perfect!
Very serene and relaxing. I love it all.
Anita…such a beautiful bedroom…chic…soothing and oh so lovely!
Beautiful!
Thanks Anita for sharing sources as that can be so helpful, especially for your readers that aren’t able to go consignment or antique shopping. I’m pretty sure the little blue side table wants to come live with me. <3
Ginger
Thank you for all the inspiration and information!
Thank you so much for sourcing so many products with a similar look! I am head over heels in love with your linen bedding! I honestly never thought of making it myself, but after seeing the pricing for ones that look similar, I just might have to pull my sewing machine out of storage and start looking for a good linen fabric supplier! Thank you for the inspiration! LOVE LOVE LOVE your style…?
Donna
Yes people have asked me to make one for them, but the fabric alone would cost probably $250-$350, and then I would have to put my labor on top of that. So honestly I would charge twice that if I had to make them. If you can make one, that’s fabulous.
I remember the iron beds with the feather mattresses at my Grandfather’s farm! Good memories!
Your bedroom is gorgeous, Ohhh how I your sconces above your bed….if you don’t mind where did you purchase them???
Thanks so much for sharing..

I am loving all the beauty in this room – I have a question on the bedspread you made. I am looking at linen to sew one similar, is that what yours is made of?
Thanks for these sources and the up-close look on how you put together your bedroom.
Linen Brenda.
There is so much I love about your bedroom. The sconces (swoon!!)…and the wool rug (so lovely). Everything makes the room calm and serene.
I just love the way everything comes together. Your style and colour sense is something I wish for. Just love what you do to a room. When I want to change something I get met with “What for?” Aaaagh.
You always make me so happy!
What a beautiful bedroom. You must have the sweetest dreams.
Anita, what a peaceful and wonderful looking bedroom! Oh my heavens, your linen bedding is absolutely beautiful. And you sew too! I must find out how you manage all you do! Maybe a post on time management would help me! You truly inspire me! Great post.
I so love this room! I wish I had the skill to try and make a bedspread like this one. I just might give it a try! Thank you for the give-a-way and the sources.
Your bedroom is so lovely and love all the colors together.
Your use of linen is wonderful! I love the look. I should concentrate more on useful linens. Thank you for this post!
Love your choices of patterns and styles. Please, can you come to my home and share your ideas?
Thanks for shopping with us. You’ve inspired me!
Your bedroom is amazing. The Florentine table had me at first glance. I own a tiny 3″ x 4″ Florentine designed box, which sits on a table near my front door, which is one of my little treasures. Anyway…Your table is BEAUTIFUL!
Always love your bedroom thanks for the sources. Have always really loved the sconces and wood piece above the bed where did you find such a beautiful piece.
Thanks
Where did the wood piece above the bed come from?
Thanks,
Sherry
Sherry, it’s from Ballard Designs.
Ok, both you and this shopping post are awesome! Sometimes it’s hard to find an element or just the right piece without a little guidance. Thank you so much for doing this 🙂
Also, thanks for showing the picture of my daughter’s room with her sweet bed at the end of your post today 🙂 That bed came from a college student who needed something smaller and presumably money as college students often do, and I almost told her to not sell it to me because she might regret it down the road. I actually felt bad buying it.
Your room is lovely and somehow it comes through that you cherish each piece. I am trying to stay on point and keep the big picture in mind and not get distracted by “stuff”.
Love everything about that room!!!!! So calming!!!! Love how you bring everything together!!!! Just so beautiful!!!! ♡ Roxann
Thanks so much for providing sources of similar looking items you have in your home. Your sewing talents are amazing…love your bedspread.
I am in love with your bedroom. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful quiet spaces with us! Peaceful and soothing?
Lovely – clean – bright!
I love the pictures you post. Everything is so elegant and beautiful.
Love your bedspread! This post was so inspirational that I have decided to brush the cobwebs off my sewing machine and get stitching!
I really love the bedspread that you made – beautiful and beautifully done! I like the painting of the girls, too.
The colors of this room and the wood floors makes such a beautiful, peaceful room! I am in love! Thanks for sharing
I absolutely love the colors picture and the rug under the bed. I have never tried that before! Also, LOVE the flooring!
I love your bedroom! You have such talent at pulling everything together. I would love to make a bedspread like yours as the one’s I have seen online are out of my budget. Does linen come in different weights? Did you use a pattern or create your own. I could probably figure it out but would rather have some kind of pattern to start with. Thank you.
Lori, yes linen comes in very different weights. I do not have a pattern, but have been asked many times so I guess I guess
Thank you for sharing these great tips and resources!! I’m not sure what my favorite one item in the room is, because I love it all, but I especially love the bed, bedding and settee!
Beautiful! Do you have a tutorial on how you made your drop ruffle bedspread?
I don’t, but I need to.
Is the ruffle on your bedspread 2x or 1 and a half X the fabric on top?? I just love it, I was thinking of making one with drop cloth material. Would love any advice ??
Susan, my advice is to get the new edition of my book. I have instructions for making that bedspread from drop cloth material. It’s available for presale now, and should be in stock by April 19.
