Upcycled Bedroom Decor

This is the bed frame/bedstead I have been 
been working on for the last couple of weeks. 
It is a beautiful piece of wood which I do believe is rosewood.I can say, it is a very heavy and solid king size frame which was made in the USA.  After careful consideration into the  Upcycling this grand piece, I finally decided to go for the simplicity of white and so far so good, I like it! 

I have used the classic Farrow & Ball eggshell paint.
The white selection of F & B comes In varying shades of white, this one is quite similar to the pale white stones you may find on coastal  beaches. The colour that I've chosen is number 273.






Quote of the week:

There is no passion to be found 
playing small - in settling for a 
life  that is less than the one you
are capable of living. 

- Nelson Maddela 

Aim high always in love - life - self.
Remind yourself every day how 
amazing you are and be thankful for everything. 

Quote of the week

 
" Promise me you will not spend so much time
treading water and trying to keep your head 
above the waves that you forget,  truly forget, 
how much you have always loved to swim "

First day of spring!

" I don't know about your garden but mine this springtime is barely coming back to life! but I am blown away by the magic of nature and its ability to renew itself. I planted one dying rose stem actually not so much planted but stuck it in the plant pot curious too see if it would grow, and not having very high expectations as an experienced gardener I am not! But now to my amazement tiny shoots are blooming! I'm so excited to see what happens next..
