AFTERNOON SUN IN MY BEDROOM.

THE AFTERNOON SUN
The afternoon sun warms my bedroom on a cool Autumn/Fall day

I love the look of the sun streaming through the window creating sensational shadows

Looking out towards my dining room

Pretty rose on my dressing table

Always have something from the beach in every room.

Stack of books underneath my side table. Great for flicking through when I can't sleep


One of the hearts I made for Amy's wedding

This is another of the hearts I made for Amy's wedding

The candles look so pretty when they are lit

I love the little stack of 4 chandelier shades that sit on my bedside table.
I don't like them on my chandelier but love having them tied together with some ribbon.
I plan on recovering the pink lampshades in something white - one day - maybe!
Max and I both have our initial on our bedside table.
I bought them about 10 years ago and told the kids we put them there so when we are 'really' old we will know which is our side of the bed.


Love sitting on my bed and reading a book or magazine in the afternoon.
So warm in the sun


When I walk in my bedroom this is what I see.
Love my dressing table.

This heart hangs on the wall above the mirror on the dressing table.

Gorgeous reflections in the dressing table mirror.
Love the hearts I made that I used to place down the aisle for Amy's wedding. They look pretty hung on the mirror.I plan on selling them next month. Probably list them on Ebay. I will let you know when I list them just in case you are interested in buying one. I made 10.

Love the shadows from the afternoon sun.
The reflection from the curtain looks great on the ensuite door.

Allison, the pics are fabulous. If I had your bedroom I would never come out of it. It is just beautiful. I laughed when you said you put the letters there so when your old you will know which side of the bed to sleep on, With the music on it was as if for a few moments I had gone to another place...Thankyou
