My Bedroom

 

For More "Show and Tells" go to

.
About a year ago I got to completely redo my bedroom.  My mom and I had a hard time deciding on what we wanted to do in there, but we finally decided that we would do a "Western Themed "
bedroom, special effect paint, and wood floor.
 .
.
 
           
My Bed
My Bed
 
My mom wanted an "organic mattress," and probably as all of you are thinking, my family also thought that  was "crazy." Many many jokes were made out of the "organic mattress," but in the end we got an organic mattress, and a free organic pillow. Now every time someone comes up to my bedroom,  lays on my bed, and puts their head on my pillow, they tell me that they are going to take it, or say that they wish they had one. So if you haven't caught on yet, my "organic mattress" is very very very comfy, and "Healthy."

My Dresser
My Dresser
 
A couple things have changed in this pic since it was taken. The doors are now painted white and there is a pic above the dresser.
 .

My Night Stand
My Night Stand
 
The dresser, bed, and the night stand are all made out of 
cedar wood by the Amish.
The wood smells so so so good. For about a month my mom kept stopping by my room and just sticking her head in to smell it.
 
 .
.
This is the paint color in my room.
Paint
 
 
The color that is on my ceiling is the color that is under the orange that is on my walls. Every day for about a week the color on my wall would change and look a little different
Paint
 
It was a lot of fun to come into the room every day and see how the paint had changed !!!!
 
There was three steps to getting my paint to be that color. I don't have a pic of the first but it was a solid color. Then we painted small Xs all over  that, and that was step 2. Then we painted small Xs over step 2 and that was step 3, and we get our final color.
 
           Step 1  
         Paint a solid color of some type of blue.
                        
                             Step 2                      

      My Ceiling    ^^^  

 My Walls  ^^^^

My Wood Floor
 
This wood floor is not an every day wood floor. It is the original wood floor that was put in when the house was built 150 years ago. We stained the wood floor two or three times and I think it looks beautiful, but maybe that's just me.....
 
This is what it looked like before we stained it.
 
 .
.
My View
This window is the right window in the pic below,
 
 
And this one is the left one in the pic above.
 
 .
.
 
 
When people see my bed they always say that it looks like you could hitch a horse up to it.

You have a lovely room! I would love to get organic mattresses for all of us, but the price - ouch! Maybe one of these days. I believe that going organic in all aspects, not just food, is a great thing.

Apr. 11, 2008 - Cool!!

Very nice! Looks like a cowgirls bedroom.

We just built a "ranch" style house and have been having fun decorating it with all kinds of horsey things. I will let you know when I get pictures posted. It will be a while.

We have a horse but not here yet. We will be getting it maybe towards fall. We need to get our fencing up first. All the many tasks that come with having horses. My son is very excited to finally be getting a horse though.

Thanks for visiting my blog. Yours looks like mine, eh? ;)

You did a great job choosing the parts and putting it all together. I hope you don't bring your horse in to hitch it up though...!

This is Beth (writer4him), but I'm signed in on my template blog...sorry!!

I LOVE your bedroom! It's exactly how I want to do mine--although my sister insists she doesn't want a western bedroom. Ah, we'll see.

Thank you for giving me the titles of the books! Sounds very interesting. I haven't read those before.

I started working on a western/horse template, but over the weekend I've been busy and haven't done much on it. I'll try to get it finished soon so you can see if you'd like to use it!

~Beth
