My Super Secret Sleeping Place

by

I have no idea…
Don’t ask.

Titles are HARD for me.
It’s what popped into my head…
after Le Boudoir.

So, “Super Secret Sleeping Place”
 is Much Better!
Don’t you think?
(if not, shh… don’t tell me)

It sort of fits since I have never shared our bedroom before.


So. Anyway.
I usually change things around the time 
the seasons do. I enjoy putting out lighter colors, fabrics and accessories in the Spring.

Pretty Standard.
I’m sure lots of your do the same thing.

The bedroom needs a little more
this time around though!
This is what I worked on today.

I have this great, rustic table on my side of the bed. 
I love how it fits just right under the window. 
My fat laptop takes up lots of the real estate! 
(I think it’s going to be re locating soon)
Then, the requisite table lamp & clock radio take up almost all of the rest. 
My ever present lip balm nestles on my clock. 
I could write an entire post on lip balm.
No worries…
This is not that post.

The problem with this piece of furniture is that it was relocated to the bedroom via a different room in the house
(what? I never do that!)
and the natural wood has never looked right among the other white pieces in the room.

It was made in Mexico.
I’m uncertain of the wood species?
It’s getting painted over though so I guess it doesn’t really matter.
A ray of sunshine today was just the motivation I needed to get busy making it fit in better in it’s new surroundings. It got two coats of primer and now I’m letting that cure.

I just opened my window to let in some fresh air 
and painted it right in my room


Yes, my bedroom door is see-thru… It’s so cool though. 
It’s an old French Door and it’s so timeworn and has this great, vintage hardware. 
Our home was built in 1920 but I don’t think it’s original to the space.
We know for sure the house has been added on to. 
One day, I’ll go get the original plans from the city.



Not sure what comes next?
Often times, I don’t know until I start doing it!

Hope you had a little sunshine in your life today.

    I can’t wait to see it all painted! I also can’t wait to see the whole Super Secret Sleeping place.

    I love the that French door! My childhood home had French doors on all the bedrooms & my Mom & Dad replaced them all. I can assure you my Mom has regretted that decision ever since!

    I think it is going to look fabulous…can’t wait to see. I have been on a furniture painting mission lately…Matt is afraid I am going to paint everything we own white…maybe I will. Love the bedroom door, but could never have one you could see through, because that’s where I throw any clutter when people stop by…oops!
