Bedroom Makeover Mark II...the saga

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><br />Cast your mind back about a month or so, and you might remember the makeover of my <a href="http://driftwood-interiors.blogspot.com/2010/09/bedroom-makeover-mark-ii.html">eldest daughter's room</a>. Of course, things all and sundry have managed to slow things down to a snail's pace, but the painting is almost finished, and I'm now working on the fun stuff - all the details to be precise. In my travels, I came across this bed head, which I picked up for all of $15....score! <br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5W_TdgATGbKA37NDCIlKJYpKPfKu76poaCjJJFycJyWOIWhAJmRdA8w6Tm1NrAVNGnHovliAeJntaTsieG8uasrac4kxmEICLUYZQHCT3Hw98DC-Ale2RApP-EiV0R_UDsq6X_2Y5nRE/s1600/bedhead+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5W_TdgATGbKA37NDCIlKJYpKPfKu76poaCjJJFycJyWOIWhAJmRdA8w6Tm1NrAVNGnHovliAeJntaTsieG8uasrac4kxmEICLUYZQHCT3Hw98DC-Ale2RApP-EiV0R_UDsq6X_2Y5nRE/s640/bedhead+2.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbaGQ4tTFyBRhnVEQpfCIXvZRmb2CvQztB-MLT9-Y0gncEG4P-alCz-GehxFrV5RykkXPYRCZx0uRZx6yq1dWBZqY2EIVQxUAnhj8AiTwIGIB6q2-Iu3wNvNrjraxJop51Mw1vec0fIIQ/s1600/bedhead+detail.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbaGQ4tTFyBRhnVEQpfCIXvZRmb2CvQztB-MLT9-Y0gncEG4P-alCz-GehxFrV5RykkXPYRCZx0uRZx6yq1dWBZqY2EIVQxUAnhj8AiTwIGIB6q2-Iu3wNvNrjraxJop51Mw1vec0fIIQ/s640/bedhead+detail.jpg" width="480" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Now, I'm not sure whether we'll be using it in this room, as we're tossing up between this and a large painting. But for that price it was far too good to pass up, so we'll see. Either way, it will get a nice new cover, and I'm thinking how great it could look with new tufting, like this one by <a href="http://brynalexandra.com/">Bryn Alexandra</a>:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7SiwUq0GSNXW5zAAJThJL2YviG17behUYKQ1GkWCsOacygE-yKHHTO1ejRzwXoquG7-yfnArfE0Hi83AE-CbcWK0LMghbSIy4HRgYq_9lEEpoaXAqnetgIvSsqEYJV7HVnrAL1rBYp6c/s1600/bedhead+bryn+alexandra.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="372" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7SiwUq0GSNXW5zAAJThJL2YviG17behUYKQ1GkWCsOacygE-yKHHTO1ejRzwXoquG7-yfnArfE0Hi83AE-CbcWK0LMghbSIy4HRgYq_9lEEpoaXAqnetgIvSsqEYJV7HVnrAL1rBYp6c/s640/bedhead+bryn+alexandra.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">...but as I'm rather partial to a print or two, I think it could look sensational like this:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJZYaF8UAJQVfiG8JJdutll_T6F9kZW3wiSFEVZAmjZSF7Oac31Sdt_mYyQieGu_gm_R-B0iZhILS2L-4e58Bugy6WANN73VV9F0B2UN50LW_PMLv_af4F4uGKMYtITNnUS-wUrxemqGk/s1600/bedhead+les+indiennes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJZYaF8UAJQVfiG8JJdutll_T6F9kZW3wiSFEVZAmjZSF7Oac31Sdt_mYyQieGu_gm_R-B0iZhILS2L-4e58Bugy6WANN73VV9F0B2UN50LW_PMLv_af4F4uGKMYtITNnUS-wUrxemqGk/s640/bedhead+les+indiennes.jpg" width="480" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">gorgeousness courtesy <a href="http://lesindiennes.com/">Les Indiennes</a> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">But of course, every decent teaser has a little twist in the tail, and a few surprises, so let's just say I'll be doing my own take on this look.
