Beachy Bedroom Reveal

First I would like to thank Kindra for taking over my blog yesterday, it was so fun to swap with her and thank you to all of you who commented both on my blog and hers, you gals know how to make my day!

Ok, so I know that I have "revealed" my bedroom before, like about three months ago, you can see that here, but I really missed my beachy bedroom.

Don't get me wrong, I loved the color that I had before this one, it was very cozy, but I just felt like it wasn't me.

My bedroom is the one place that is mine to relax and unwind in, to lay in bed and be able to look out my window at the stars and be surrounded for 8 hours or so by the things that I love.

So I went back to my beachy blues and white, added some more treasures and gave my windows and bed that breezy feel with new curtains.

I am really happy with the way it turned out and so happy with the "frantel" (thank you Lisa from Informal Home, I love that word! :) ) and wanted to thank ALL of you for the wonderful and sweet comments you left, I so appreciate it more than words can say!

Here we go....

Before

After

The walls were painted with "Shoreline Mist" from Behr or Glidden, now I can't remember....must too many paint fumes.

I added two sheer panels that have a crinkle look to them (they are the same that I used for my daughters room) to each window and hung at the level of the board and batton and then draped one panel on each of the bed posts.

I can't wait until I can open the windows and feel the warm breezes and watch the sheers blow in the wind.....aahhhhh summer breezes!!!

My wire basket-o-driftwood and a driftwood garland that I purchased last summer.

I still kept the same ruffled gray bedding but added white sheets and blue pillow cases (I got the bedding at TJ Maxx)

My bedroom is also the favorite spot for the cats, they must enjoy the beach too! :)

So there is my little paradise away from paradise, a place that I can unwind and dream of the sea.

Thank you so much for following me on yet another bedroom redo, I will back later to show you some of my favorite little details.

My weekend is pretty pack full already but I hope that you all have a wonderful weekend full of sunshine warm weather!!
