Looking around the house, I realize there are only a few items I have held on to for more than a year!
I get bored, sell some items and use the money to pick up new things.
The vintage white chippy wrought iron bed I JUST bought a few months ago has been listed for sale and I picked up a Shabby Chic (Target line) Headboard at a yard sale for dirt cheap.
Which do you like better?
The "NEW"
The "Old"
I'm pretty partial to the Shabby Chic one, but it breaks my heart to get rid of the pretty iron one!
This is the new comforter from Homegoods.
Isn't it pretty? I can not get enough of ruffles right now!
I really really want to try to make a ruffled tablecloth.....yet another project on the back burner. If I ever finish the kitchen, my daughters room, the garage and several small projects!
I can't believe that this time last year my bedroom looked like this....
Holy Moly! What was I thinking?
The spongebob chair is very 1860s;)
ReplyDeleteLOVE the new bedding and the headboard- it is gorgeous! I just saw that same bedding used as a slipcover at another blog this morning- LOVE it!! I HAVE to do a Home Goods run!! :)

ReplyDeleteMy tiny tot terror adores Spongebob....there are Spongebobs all over my house!
Love the new headboard and with the ruffled bedspread it is gorgeous. ~~Sherry~~
ReplyDeleteWowsers, it looks fab. I will continue to hunt for the large size for my bedroom. Have to have it...have to get it...really want it...anyway, your bedroom is a vast improvement and bravo for sharing the ugly! It is always interesting isn't it ....pictures really highlight what is not working in a room!
ReplyDeletePS I like both headboards, but am partial to the iron one, even if the other one is a real shabby number.
ReplyDeleteWell..I'm sort of having the same dilemna right now...My daughter is ready for a "big girl bed" and I can't decide whether to get a daybed, a twin bed with iron headboard, or like you have, the twin shabby chic one from Target. In your particular room, I think I like the shabby chic one best...I think because it's in front of a window...otherwise, I would probably like the iron one best :) they are both pretty though! Don'tcha just love having to make all of these tough decisions LOL
ReplyDeleteI think I make like the iron headboard better, but what I love is the comforter! I love ruffles too, and also can not get enough of them. Great job!

Oh Nicki, the ruffled coverlet is to die for! I swear add a ruffle to anything and it pops! Love it! Lori
ReplyDeleteLove the tiered, ruffled comforter! Perfect!
ReplyDeleteWell Nicki, I think I like the iron headboard better. I like shabby though....
ReplyDeleteAnd I do like the bedroom now better than last year!

Oh my gosh....it does look so different!!! I don't think I could choose between the 2 beds....both are pretty....I would keep them both....tee hee hee....I guess that's why I have so much stuff!!!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the new bedding. Too bad no Homegoods around here. Might check TJ Maxx. I think I like the shabby chic bed!
ReplyDeleteLove the new bedding and the new headboard!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!!!
Both are gorgeous but since you ASKED, I prefer the old headboard with the new bedding.
ReplyDeleteI love the open, airy, intricate feel of the old headboard, particularly in front of a window. Lovely.
Your bedroom is dreamy...I love the new bedding especially. I'm dropping by from Tales from Bloggeritaville and am a new follower of your wonderful blog :O)
ReplyDeleteHi Nicki,
ReplyDeleteLove your dreamy new bedroom. I like both headboards actually. I would keep the old one, just in case you decide you need a change. Love the bedding!! Wow! Thanks for sharing Amy's blog too. I love how she used it as a slipcover!

Oooh, I love both bed frames. Hard to choose a favorite. What a lovely transformation since last year!
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog and am your newest follower. Your bedroom is amazing with either headboard, but I prefer the new one. You are one talented woman...keep the fab ideas and inspiration coming!
ReplyDeleteOh I adore your bedroom~ swoon!
ReplyDeleteI am currently hosting an auction of vintage and antique linen treasures. Stop by and take a peek.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Hey there~ Just stopping back by to say thanks for sharing this at FNF! :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE that new ruffly bedcover. Must admit, I like both headboards, but I am partial to the iron one. Nice to "meet" you.
ReplyDeleteJudy
Oh, I definitely love the new look! I know what you mean though about loving what you have but finding something that you love even more!! Happens to me all the time!
ReplyDeleteTania
Both headboards are great! I love love love the iron headboard, but I think it gets lost in front of the window so I think the shabby headboard looks best.
