Shopping the Cottage for Mom's Room

Those of you who follow me know that my Mom passed away last month and that I have been planning a big renewal of her bedroom in her memory. In preparation of doing that, I have been going through her things and choosing ones that had special meaning to her. I will be tweaking these things a bit to give them a fresher and newer look while maintaining their integrity. This item was one of her favorites.

Mom picked up this night stand at a consignment shop. While I like the lines of the piece, I think it really needs a facelift. Mom thought so too and it was one of the things we discussed doing so I know she would not mind me shaking it up a bit.

Here is another piece she loved. This little occasional table has a marble top and I also think it has real potential. I have some ideas ...

More ideas for these two matching pieces.

Mom had two of these matching prints. I will be using these for sure.

I repainted this chair for Mom a few years ago. It used to have a brownish pickled finish, but we both liked it so much better after I painted it an off white. I am recovering the seat with this fabric. You may recall that the other day I showed you a little foot stool I painted and recovered with this same fabric. No wonder it looks familiar to you.

This lamp ... well more ideas. I especially want to do some tweaking to that shade.

Oh and I have some ideas for this base too.

And another piece. Mom had a real love for columns. Maybe she lived in Rome in another lifetime ;-) All joking aside, this column will be used too.
So while I am finishing some of the tweaking in my studio, and deciding on a paint color for it's walls, I will be busy shopping around my cottage for just the right elements for Mom's room. Stay tuned for more updates and have a great weekend!
