Hollywood Regency Bedroom Reveal

I'm finally finished with my bedroom redo.  I was going for a Hollywood Regency look.  I'm not sure if I followed all the "Rules"of Hollywood Regency, but..... 

......I feel mighty glamorous lounging in my new bedroom!

Here's the before and after picture.  By putting the bed against the wall with the windows, the room seemed instantly bigger...Go figure!

I wanted to use wallpaper behind the bed....But, Holy cow have you priced wallpaper lately?  So, plan "B"...After painting all of the walls with Sherwin Williams Mountain Air paint

I found a much cheeper option to wallpaper...A stencil.  I was thrilled when I found this great Art Deco stencil from "Cutting Edge Stencil"

I really struggled to get good photos.  The room has very little natural light...Great for sleeping...Horrid for pictures!

Now I was on to the fun stuff..Decorating

I found the high chest of drawers at Vintage Living Market Place while on my East Coast of Florida road trip

I knew I wanted a starburst but, after no luck searching antique stores I found this one at Stein Mart.  I was thrilled to find this white lady bust at Ross for $9.99!

The little blue slipper chair was a yard sale find from many years ago.   It was $11.00 and the lady said her mother had brought it from France.  

I slip covered it for my living room and completely forgot what was underneath.... I was going to recover it for the bedroom and when I took the slipcover off....OMG...It was perfect!

  

The pole lamp in the corner was another Vintage Living Market Place find.  I couldn't resist since it came complete with some sparkly bling.

On the other wall is the broken china mosaic dress form I made....

.......I think it has found a perfect home

The throw on the end of the bed is from Ikea

The pillows are from Home goods

You can read about my lampshade hat box Here

I've had this dressing table for many years.  I finally got around to painting the jewelry chest

I'll do a blog post soon on the easy temporary padded headboard and the cheapest easiest way to make a drapery cornice board.

Well....I'm off.... I think I'll put on my silk pajamas, grab a martini and lounge in my bedroom!

Happy Creating

Planning My Hollywood Regency Bedroom

It's been 10 years since I've changed up my bedroom

  I couldn't decide what style I wanted until I found my inspiration pieces.

I love these ice blue or maybe silver blue pillow shams

Then I saw this mirrored side table at SteinMart and thought eureka....I will go with a Hollywood Regency look.

It seems there is a lot of different elements to Hollywood Regency.  It's a mix of old Hollywood glamour....Think gold, silver, chandeliers, mirrors and mirrored furniture, lacquered furniture, luxe fabrics, and art deco pieces mixed with antiques.

Since I am not a decorator, I'm not sure if everything I incorporate into my bedroom will follow all of the "Rules" of Hollywood Regency....I guess it will be more like my interpretation.  Here's a few items I found to get started

This hat box was $7.00 Home Goods.....

......And these pillows for $12.00 and $15.00.....

I love this frame for $6.99

I will use the chandelier that is already in the bedroom.....This is the before picture...You will have to wait a couple weeks for the After

I got these luxurious looking drapes at Ikea for a song....Ikea has the best prices!

I will start the transformation by painting my bedroom next week in a silver blue called "Mountain Air " from Sherwin Williams

I planned to already have the painting done but, my A/C went out.....Moan....5 days without air in Florida!  Holy Molly...it was hot.....But, I have a new A/C and I'm up and running again.  The A/C unit was 30 years old and should have been replaced 10 years ago, but I just kept putting Band-Aids on it.  Of course it would finally conk out in August, not January lol!

Here I am lounging in my robe after my bedroom is done lol!

Pre-planning is half the fun!  I will keep you updated on my bedroom redo, I'm hoping it all comes together like my vision!

If you don't hear from me for a few days, don't worry, all is fine.   I'm just having fun re-doing my bedroom!

Happy Creating!
