i have to admit, my bedroom is a real sanctuary for me. its a very light room, and even though i'm not being a morning person, i really love waking up there.
gradually i've been pulling together some treasures to make it an even lovelier place to wake
up, and just a few weeks ago i scored the pièce de résistance - a cane bedhead!
my grandma had one, when i was little, and i just loved how curly and pretty it was.
after some hardcore searching and some ebay-related patience i found one to fit our bed.
it isn't in perfect condition, but i knew with a coat of paint it would be good enough for me!
so, enough chat! time for the before and after eye candy!
before...
and after....
i'm so happy with how it turned out. it was a full day of spraying, and waiting, and spraying some more, and my flip-flops got a bit ruined (oops) but it was worth it. i feel like the room is complete now!
what do you think?

it's amazing!! I LOVE it, and usually i am not so fond of cane. But that really works well, and I love the bedspread, matches the bed head nicely. Where did the bed spread come from?
thanks sara! i'm not a cane person either really, but the bedheads are so groovy! the bedspread is lovely. its appliqued and embroidered -it came from a local home shop about 2yrs ago, but its KAS brand, so it wasn't rare.
it's stunning. for awhile at uni i had a lot of friends who worked at Holy Sheet, the discount bedding was a brilliant way to build up my sheets! But alas, our bedspread is dying...rips from the cat here and there I think. It was a KAS too. might have to wait for the next round of sales.
yep, the cane bed head is awesome. so good painted that yellow too. well worth the wait/effort!
awesome - so you!
thanks gemma!
Oooooh pilgrim my luv this is AWESOME. I love the colors (that green with the orange and pink/red touches. soooo good). That cane head board is inspired. I really love it!!
thanks alex! :) all the color inspiration came from the lampshades, they were made from wallpaper by drawflowers on etsy.
The bed-head is VERY 'That Girl' - so adorable and sunny, just like you! xx
I love it! It's really inspiring.
