Second Bedroom Re-Do

Some of you were surprised

that I built my own bed frames.

 

As you can see in these photos

it really wasn't that hard.

2X4 frames, then I covered the 

top with plywood, before putting

the mattress on.

They are quite strong.

Everything that I used to

decorate the room

came from our camper

and favorite things of ours

that hold precious memories. 

Lots of handmade items :)

Our cowboy hats. 

Here we are with our granddaughters

just after Steve retired.

We were taking them to their

first rodeo :)

A fishing trip worth remembering.

My first cowboy boots.

They used nails back then.

Steve's Dad's old camera.

 

This little candle holder

is from our camper.

This lampshade is actually

one of my Mom's 

old straw hats. 

I made this quilt for our camper,
as well as the pillows.
The sign and the oars I also
had made before and used here,
and the rocking chair has been
 around for a while.
It was in some things that I have
planned for a yard sale,
until I thought of adding it
to this room.

Steve's Dad's guitar.

Steve built this sweet shelf,
and I bought him the cedar flute
on a trip to Sister's Oregon
many years ago.

He would sit in the cockpit
of our sailboat and play it
in the evening when we were
anchored up for the night.

I have so many sweet memories.

This oil painting was done by
a very dear friend.

This one I swapped one of mine
for at a gallery years ago
after a showing.

 

This little fellow was a
Christmas ornament I purchased
a few years ago.
We have a tradition of adding
one new ornament each year.

Sock monkeys were a favorite
of Steve's since getting his
first one when he was a little boy.

That's our other bedroom . . .
like camping in a cabin in the woods . . .
instead of a farm cottage,
but I like it.

What do you think,
would you stay here?

Have a sweet day
&
God bless you all.

Your blogging sister,
Connie :)
