Oh So French!

Lovely morning to you, my bloggerettes!

Remember my guest bedroom

with the Simply Shabby Chic bedspread that I love so much?

That beautiful dusty blue duvet with pink peonies on it?

Sweet and delicious...

Well, it was time for a change.  A late summery change.  

A change that I've been wistfully longing for for a quite a while.

A change for the better.

A change for the whiter and cleaner and fresher and simpler.

A little more mature.  A little more French.

Want to take a peek at what I see now as I step up on the last stair on the second floor of Heaven's Walk?

(And don't get me going on that awful stained trim. 

As you know, if I had my druthers, it would painted white...)

Ahhhh.....a new cool, white linen duvet cover and shams.

I recently bought it for a song at Pottery Barn. It was The Sale I was waiting for.

It's incredibly substantial, but oh so soft.  I can see this becoming a treasured vintage item that I'll be able to hand down to someone in my family someday.

Remember the old side table?

It was replaced with my treasured new vintage side table.

(Remember the one I nabbed at my frizzy-hair-day flea market recently?)

It was slathered with a creamy white coat of my trusty BM 'Ivory Tusk'.

I ended up spray painting the pull on it (which was pretty ugly) with Krylon black enamel.

Oh, and you see where my other sweet little Lettered Threads 'Reve' pillow is now sleeping?

Snuggled up against a PB striped pillow sham.

Seriously yummy. 

Cool.

Calm.

Fresh.

Airy.

Crisp.

And a little vintage coastal French, oui?

Happy White Wednesday to you!  

See you over at Faded Charm!

You can mosey right over there from here.

 

{Hugs!} and sweet dreams!

(Oh, and before I go, where does one lavender-crazy gal go 
to buy some big, luscious bunches of dried lavender?)
