Vintage on line

Ok...so here are some pictures of my room...ick...
it's purple (more plum) & lavender**gag**. The
previous owners were like the king & queen of
Pottery Barn...all the colors...motifs...the whole
enchilada! My family offered, until they were blue
in the face, to repaint everything, but I was just
so happy to be there that I didn't want to delay
one moment of moving in! Amazingly enough,
I found that I had "collected" things in such a
variety of colors that I was able to accessorize
with even that most frightening of colors! ( No
offense to you Donny Osmond purple people...
lavender is one thing...purple? Uh...no.)
{My bathroom is entirely purple...we'll get to
that later...}.

I bought these 3 Shabby Chic panels on Ebay...luckily they
had a hint a lavender to go along with the pink! I took 3
old frames (that had once housed ballerina pictures...another
weakness!) and fashioned a window dressing. ( you might
have noticed that my curtains are usually pulled aside & my
blinds are pulled up...that is just a precautionary measure,
only to keep my Sammy from ripping them off the walls
when she wants to watch birds!)
And here is the full extent of the purple...YIKES. Not to
mention these 3 sliver windows...they are of a size that
no window treatment will fit...so I cut up a bigger sheer
and made small curtains then topped that with MOP
buttons and ribbon. The side pieces were from Ebay...
just "thingies" that I bought for no reason, then I painted
them and added them to the side of the windows for
interest...the are kinda "Whoville"...don't you think?
I think I'd like to frame each window with moulding...
like a picture, that might help. The windows make
it hard to come up with a headboard...but I do
have an idea.... :)

Close-up of an accumulation of lavender things I never thought
I'd have a need for (so, why did I buy them???? Good question!).

My sister, Bee, gave me this trunk, which had been
white washed...but my other sister, Kae, had given me
the remains of this great pink called Rose Mallow...so
viola! Trunk became Rose Mallow!!!!

I topped it with vintage postcards.

This armoire goes with the trunk...it just hasn't been
painted yet...It can't go up and down the stairs again,so it
will have to be painted in my room...hmmmmmm....

The ubiquitous corner chair...where cats lounge and/or
frolic...

This night stand with the light attached is pretty dorky
and utilitarian, but it was my Grandpa's, so I wanted
it. It was painted a totally Pepto Bismal pink and I
added a custom shade to "girlie" it up a bit.
