The Master Bedroom:
Above image: The Paper Mulberry - the master bedroom: the bed drape is an antique monogrammed linen sheet now for sale, the bedside cabinets (which we have had for 25 years and are a rather ugly melamine)have had a make-over, first primed with a melamine paint primer and then painted with Laura Ashley 'Ivory' eggshell, the knobs are from Homebase as are the bedside lamps and shades. The white lined glass cube vases (filled with white roses) are my favourite new purchase and are from EasyFloristSupplies The bed is painted in Farrow and Ball 'Stony Ground' shade 211. Most of the bedlinen is from The White Company

Oh Glenda - it's absolutely STUNNING! I adore the antique monogrammed linen sheet - such a beautiful touch, and I don't blame you for not wanting to cut it - it looks perfect as it is anyway - far more authentic! The colours and accessories too are sublime. How wonderfully satisfying to see it all coming together after 14 years - and SO worthy of the love, time and effort that you have spent on it - it looks incredible. Can't wait to see more!
Best wishes,
Paula xx
I just sit and sigh every time I see your truly beautiful home. Your expert eye and attention to detail is perfect. Inspirational x
What a beautiful room - very calm and soothing. Hmm - I'm now thinking about blue and white for my bedroom!
Hi Glenda,
very very pretty bedroom, i love the soft colors and the old bars.
Warm greetings

What a lovely bedroom!
I love your styling and the way you mix all kinds of furniture and decorations!
Greetings,

Utterly fantabulous. Dear Glenda not only have you created a gorgeous home, it looks so comfortable and timeless. I have to say if I were to think about the visual interpretation of the word 'HOME' it would bring to mind images so very like this lovely room. Every item has a history, and do I spy wedding photo's (Yours?)amongst the treasures. The old house must feel very loved indeed, in her old age she has the opportunity to shine. Much love and all good wishes from here XXXX You can skip about and enhance every corner now. x
Hi Glenda....Love your room....it is serene and lovely. Looking forward to seeing more of your home...love your style! :)
Truly beautiful in every way! Thanks so much for sharing your home with us!
Absolutely beautiful, Glenda!! You have done a wonderful job.
Happy Thursday.

Glenda, how rewarding it must be for you to see your home look SO beautiful after all your work! It really is wonderful & magazine-worthy. A publisher should really pick this up!
I hope you're enjoying summer!

Hello Glenda
This bedroom would keep me from my many daily chores. I would use all sorts of excuses and pretend I was feeling faint just to hang out with Fingle on the vintage toile.
I love the tranquil feel and the personal treasures contained here.
Thank you for sharing

I love what you've done Glenda. It's the perfect balance of style,comfort and history. That is quite difficult to accomplish without things appearing staged and contrived. Well done,now treat yourself to a day spa.

What a great pleasure it must be for you to come to the end of your renovation! Your bedroom is exquisite. The mix of fabrics is gorgeous. I so much enjoy the organic quality of the beams and walls. Just a lovely, lovely space.
Perfectly relaxed and comfortable, with just a touch of hauteur - wonderful!
What a labor of love, and aren't you proud of yourselves? Gorgeous X10.
Very well done !!!
Dear Glenda~
You know already how much I love your home, and even more your love and devotion to making it a home. Greet said it so perfectly, your home has a true soul. It may have been waiting patiently for you to come to its rescue, but I bet "she" thinks is was worth it. Thank you for sharing your home with us. Hugs~
Absolutely Gorgeous!
I must head back up and look again.
Thanks for sharing this amazing space with us.

I adore your bedroom cabinet.

Glenda, this is just so beautiful! Who needs to buy magazines when I have blogs like yours to drool over!! I love the muted colours you have used- so relaxing and soft for the bedroom. Cant wait to see what you have done with the rest of the house! Thanks for your comment on my blog xxx
What a lovely room. I'm liking the rustic beams above it. Have a delightful week ahead, Kellie xx
So fabulous Glenda...and what a labor of love. You can just feel that as you view these images. Absolutely beautiful...completely warm and inviting...just as "home" should be. XO, Mona
Glenda--What an absolutely beautiful home. Warm with so much character to it!! Thanks so much for sharing all the paint colors you used as well!!
So beautiful; calm and relaxing just as a bedroom should be. We've been doing renovations for an age, I'm now encouraged to think we may finish sometime!
Glenda you did such an outstanding job! Love the color palette, its so welcoming and warm and inviting......but fresh and crisp too. You really did a fabulous job..thanks for sharing!
Dear Glenda- What a lovely, romantic bedroom. A relief to have the dust settled, no doubt. (I know the feeling well.) Congratulations on a job well done! xo~L
I am a middle school teacher, so in the words of my students OMG! Your home is wonderful. By California standards, our 1928 cottage is OLD. It is an infant compared to yours. Thanks so much for the peek into your bedroom.
Sigh !!!
I just love everything you post, and I leave wishing it was all mine :)
I could so move into any of these room you feature.
Thank you for inspiring all the perfectness I love soooo!
