I happen to have unusually high ceilings and large furniture and the space behind the bed just didn't look right....Because of the shape of the headboard I thought pictures was just not the way to go... |
I started by putting some color on the bed I love the color red... and the room has bits and pieces of yellow.. Sort of French Nautical.... So to the blues....I added the above... |
Don't ask.... I have a thing for Lobsters.... I guess that's fine but in the bedroom??? I have loved lobsters in decorating ever since taking a trip to Maine with daughter back in 92' |
see my little steps.. yes...there is a story... |
Finally I get to the part about Hanging Stuff... I decided on Plates... Not just any plates... But my Vintage Souvenir Plates from the 1950's..... I picked all blue.... From my Favorite places... |
I use no Rhyme or Reason... I just eyeball it... and hammer in the nail... I don't even hold up the plate... It just always seems to work out.. I always leave room for add ons.... |
Miss Liberty had to be included.... |
Now that looks better! |
I still might Add a coffee table or maybe a small trunk in front of the Sofa... What do you think? |
it's always fun to move things around too... She was in my sewing room and swam in to the Bedroom to join us for a little while.. |
two Paris souvenirs... and now in to the Man-Cave. |
But I do wish someone Would let me know how in the world do You Hang things on steep Stairs.... when you can no longer Reach?? Where in the World do You Put The Ladder??? www.astrollthrulife.net I am linking today at A Stroll Thru Life and Marty's 201st. Inspire Me Tuesday... |

Sue, you have the best knack for hanging photos. I love how they look in your home. Love the plates over the bed too!
hugs, Linda
Sue, it is a man thing to measure, draw diagrams, etc...I never ask Howard to hang anything, it would take him all day and then it wouldn't be where I wanted it.
The plates look great over your beautiful bed.
Have a great week.
Sue, I love the plates over the bed. They follow the lines of the headboard. What a clever idea to use plates in the bedroom.
Scaffolding is the only way you can hang items or paint when dealing with stairs unless you have someone brave enough to to stand on a ladder that someone else is holding but that is so dangerous.
I find life so ironic at times. We just were talking and I am taking all my things down as you are putting your things up!
I think mean are logical and need rulers, etc. While woman can feel where somethings goes by feelings
I do like your plates.
You room does need a little settee and little table for you to sit and read on and have a cup of tea.
Love yah, sandie
I like what you did with the plates -- it does add interest! I think often you need something over a bed but not a whole lot! And what you did is perfect!
I love it. The plates are gorgeous. Great job. Thanks tons for linking to Inspire Me. Hugs, Marty
Lol, we are just the same. My husband cannot even hang anything. He wants to hire Mitch, our handyman to do that so when he is not home, I just hang them. I like your bedroom. It's spacious and I like the plates...Christine
