The Bed.



This is the bed I purchased some time ago for the Master's Bedroom. It's got horrible fabric on it so that had to go. This is the first bed I've dressed and wasn't quite sure of the look I was after, bearing in mind that the occupant is a serious Admiral of the Fleet. I always think it doesn't do to get too cocky when doing this type of thing for the first time so I've kept it all relatively simple and this is what I've settled on:


Curtains next.

  2. I'm really enjoying your blog, Irene! It's incredible that that's your first attempt -- you have a real gift for this. It's just perfect -- slightly subdued, elegant and totally in scale. Wow! It really makes all the difference, doesn't it, when the fabric is upgraded as you've done? Brava!

  7. Hello Irene! I just stumbled across your blog...and your work is beautiful. I think you've done a very fine job with the bed. The fabric chosen looks perfect and so is the execution of the "make-over". Well done!

  11. Irene, thanks for registering at my blog and your kind comment.
    As the Admiral bed literally enchanted me, I wanted to pay homage by the Lady who lives in Villa Elisa ...
    At that time it would have given much scandal!
    I hope you will soon solve the problems with translation.
    Yours affectionately
