Here is an area rarely seen by the public. It is the habitat of one of my daughters. Usually the room is a tad (read that – A LOT) messy. Like in my other daughter’s room SEEN HERE, I like to have a table by the window. They can have a snack and look out the window. My daughter hangs out here a lot. You can see the chairs I had in here below. I ended up selling those chairs, and pulled these blue chairs from the back porch.
I’m still enjoying the Fortnum and Mason goodies that Mr. CH brought back from a trip to London previously this year. Yum, yum. The tea is divine!!
And I do not drink tea from a Styrofoam cup. That is simply not done around here. It must be drunk from a delicate tea cup, preferably made in England. The teacup and plate, a snack set, belonged to my mother in law, who hosted many a tea at her home.
Here is where we hide the TV. It’s on the other side of the bed.
And I know you are going to be shocked…. I used grain sacks for the pillows. I tend to get a bit carried away when it comes to grain sacks.
The fabric at the foot of the bed is actually very, very old homespun linen. For those of you that are concerned that my daughter is made to live in a super neat room, trust me, it doesn’t normally look like this. It is normally a mess. That is why I don’t show it very often. It takes too long for me to pick everything up. Enjoy the photos. You probably won’t see this room again for a long time. I know there isn’t a rug in here, but our floors don’t get that cold like they do up north. I know people can’t believe we don’t have a lot of rugs, but really that aren’t necessary here.
I think it’s good to change things up a bit, and so this room has had some changes since we moved in a year ago. If you want to see what it looked like when we moved in, you can find those HERE.
Just in case you missed it, the bedspread is actually a dust ruffle from Pottery Barn (not sponsored.)
LOVE the painting above the bed. And, how clever to use a dust ruffle for a bedspread.
Very inspiring pic. Now I am ready to enjoy a cup of tea and a little something sweet.
It reminds me of visiting tea rooms in the UK and how delightful that tradition is. I keep threatening to start an afternoon tea at my office………….maybe occasionally to keep it special.
Could you offer any tips regarding selling furniture? How to price, where to sell, etc?
Would be a great post … I, for one, would find it reallyyyyy helpful.
Beautiful room!…Love the tea set and that gorgeous tea pot. The painting over the bed is perfect….and I love that you do not have a rug on the floor…love seeing the beauty of the wood!
That’s funny Anita I was going to ask what was covering the bed. Great idea and I love the painting over the bed it is so pretty.
It must be so soothing and nice to have a room like that!
Love it, I could feel very comfy in this room!
It is a lovely room for your daughter,the painting really adds some color,but it is a perfect room for sleeping or having tea,or curling up to read.
Really lovely. I worry, however, about your beautiful hardwood floor under thoughs chairs. They look like they will scratch.
Anita,
Thank your daughter for inviting us to see her lovely room!
I love the switch in the chairs!!!
Living on the Prairie. . .bare floors wouldn’t work!!!
Lucky you to be able to enjoy those gorgeous floors year round!
Fondly,
Pat
Love the room ! I see more of the great shade you used on the “new” Italian lamp in your room. Do you have an online source that you can share? Have been looking for a couple of shades but not falling in love with any I’ve seen yet.
