Plates Over the Headboard

I think I finally finished the wall above my headboard. I found the architectural piece awhile back on Etsy. I love the way the curve follows the headboard curve.It looked a little blank, so I shopped my hutch and had Hubby help me hang up these plates.
I still need to tweak the bedding and pillows.
The 3 floral plates were given to me by my Mom. They have been in the family.I love the gold edge.
The 2 plates with the cute cottage are from a garage sale a long time ago. Here's the before...
And the after. Much better .I love using those plates instead of having them put away.
Had older sons birthday this weekend and I thought I'd show our birthday banner that I hang.
We use it for every ones birthday around here.
And as promised, here is the lone mushroom. I'm still on the lookout for more wooden bowls.
It's a good thing the Olympics are on, because it's way to hot to go outside. I've been hibernating and sewing and will share my progress soon. I'm joining Cozy Little House for Brenda's new party. Stay Cool!

  2. Oh...What a dreamy bedroom! You have created such a peaceful place to snuggle up for a nice nap. All your vintage plates are the crowning touch above that great architectural piece. And, your bedding is so soft and inviting. As much as I know you love the color RED...I think it's nice to have a pastel retreat to steal away to. I, too, am such a RED lover...but, our master bedroom is also in pastels.
    Thank you for sharing a little slice of paradise, dear friend!
    I'm glad my silly post gave you Monday morning chuckle!
    Smiles and blessings,

  12. hello Leslie
    Thank you for your kind comments on my blog. I'm not terribly good with plants but I seem to have struck luck with my orchid....I sing to her as I clean out the living room she must like that :-) LOL
    Love your blog....nice and neat. Hadn't thought of putting plates over the bed....you've given me something to consider because it does look very nice.

    Keep well

  13. Your plates over the arch add a lovely touch to your headboard. I think I need to borrow that idea. We're getting ready to redo our bedroom later this week. Your toadstool is very charming.

  15. The plates were the perfect addition to your bedroom wall. Mushroom so bright and colorful. Hope you find more wooden bowls and then you can have a mushroom garden. Good luck with your new woolen project.

  17. Hi Leslie!
    I'm writing this on my iPhone, hopefully it won't be gibberish but then i'm prone to drivel hahahahaha
    Love everything as always! Adore your toadstool - I think they're going to be popping up everywhere throughout bloglandia, so darling.
    My auntie is in the hospital, hopefully all will be well!
    Happy week to you!

  18. Very nice! We did this in a bedroom once, and also above a mirror in the bathroom. It's a great way to show off our pretty plates... and to have an excuse to keep buying them. :p

    I love that little rose quilt too, by the way. Very pretty! I miss Shabby Chic in a bedroom so much.

  26. Leslie...love the plates over the headboard. By the way, you are not going to believe that the next day after asking you about the base you used for the mushroom, I found a solid wood milk bottle. Can you believe? Now to find the bowl...ha ha.
