Shabby Vintage Cottage Bedroom
Today I’m sharing how I updated our 1929 cottage bedroom with a mini-refresh, on a teeny tiny budget. Come see how I used lots of thrifted and vintage pieces, along with some second-hand linens and a little DIY. Warming up what started as a concrete box, into a pretty little oasis.
Welcome foxy friends! It’s bedroom touring time. The stars have aligned. It’s done, we had sun, and I was able to get some pictures that didn’t look like I took them in a dungeon. Ahh… Oregon—how I love you. No, I really do. Even with the gloom we get. The pay-off is worth it for the blissful, gorgeous days.
So, anyhow. That bedroom I was talking about, well… here she is. No more chit-chat. Just going to role that beautiful bedroom footage. (did you just hear a Bush’s Beans commercial in your head?) You’re welcome {winks}
I’m pleased as punch with the way it came together. It feels, soft, pretty and romantic.
I just about sigh when I walk in there now. I love change!!
Speaking of… I’m putting a little something together to share with you next week. It’ll have all the details of the room, like where I got everything and how much I paid. Just thought you might like to see the photos with out a long winded run-down. This was a super affordable refresher and I know you could change your space up to if you’re in the mood. Y’all know how cheap I am!
UPDATE: Here is the entire budget breakdown

Many mornings.. I don’t want too. Aah… to snuggle back into bed and read. Pure bliss. I am owed a day of that for sure. Soon…. 😉
Lisa @ Lisas Creative Designs says
OMG! I love it! The ruffled pillow is just gorgeous and I love the color palette. So sweet and relaxing. A great place to dream.

Michele/Finch Rest says
What a gorgeous space! WELL DONE!!!
You’ve done an amazing job with this pretty pretty bedroom.
And, hmmmm, oh dear – I ALWAYS comment in between my pictures. I know I “chatter” too much, but how else will I share it if I don’t? Oh well.
Shannon at Fox Hollow Cottage says
Michele, I know, I usually do too! I thought I would try something new, especially since I knew I wanted to breakdown the cost in a later post. So I made up for it in that one with LOTS of talking. hehe. LOTS and LOTS of talking 😉

This bedroom is so sweet!! I LOVE it. My favorite piece of furniture is that charming little chest of drawers next to the bed. It’s screaming my name! :-))

Michele Reuter says
Could you tell us where you bought the linens for the bed?
Shannon at Fox Hollow Cottage says
Hi there! I listed everything I could recall, and the duvet and matching shams were giving to me by my sister in law. I don’t know where they were from originally? I do know they are several years old. Sorry!
Shari @ Turnstyle Vogue says
Very nice! It reminds me of my Grandma’s “Pink” room when I was a little girl. She had three bedrooms and they were all decorated with one color and known as the “Pink” room, “Blue” room and “Yellow” room. Yours is obviously a wonderful blend of color, but it still brings back great memories. 🙂
Shannon at Fox Hollow Cottage says
Shari, thanks so much for sharing that. How neat! Color rooms. I love that story 🙂
