Anyway, talked Mom into this great color of turquoise for the walls (which is the same color that I used in my bathroom and still haven't warmed up to - the bathroom may be in for a repaint). I really like the color in the bedroom though. And, with the light colored Heywood Wakefield bedroom set that I bought for a steal last fall ($170!), I think it has a great 1950s vibe beginning. Mom is still in the process of picking out a bedspread and curtains for the room, but I wanted to share it anyway!
Nice Heywake and even nicer price! I'd love to get some pieces, will keep looking.
ReplyDeleteThat is indeed the steal of the century! I offered 10 times that for a badly refinished Hey-Wake dining table, 6 banged up chairs and buffet and they're "thinking" about it and will probably wind up not accepting it. I know that whatever guest gets to sleep in that room will be happy!
ReplyDeleteThat wall color goes great with the furniture. I think the bedspread and drapes needs to have a touch of coral in them. How nice of you to share your furniture with your mom. Guess you'll have to be a guest in your old room in order to make your presence felt again. Just leave a pile of clothes on the floor, and it will be just like the old days!
ReplyDeleteWow! I get so ticked off at how expensive California is compared to the rest of the US. I have been wanting a bedroom set like that for a while, but cant find one in CA for under $1,500! End tables alone are $250. Gee Wiz. Lucky girl! Keep up the great blogging!

Very nice...and fantastic deal for the bedroom suite. I do love the turquoise walls. It's a fantastic contrast to the light wood of the furniture.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful hey wake there. Hi there!
ReplyDeleteThe turquoise really shows off the color of the furniture! You got a great deal!
ReplyDeleteJust curious but could you put an approximative age on the carpet? I've been wondering for a lot time (not about your parent's rug but that pattern). Evrytime I see some I wonder. I grew up in a carpetless house...
That's a ridiculous steal! and it looks really great with the turquoise, what type of bedspread/curtains are you thinking?
ReplyDeleteVonlipi - the carpet is original to when my parents built the house - 25 years old. The style of carpet was very popular at that time, and is still available today. The style/pattern is referred to as "sculptured carpet".
ReplyDeleteLeah - I think that Mom is looking at a white chenille bedspread, but I'm not sure about curtains.
