My bedroom is almost done. The bed canopy is up and beautiful, if I do say so myself.  It’s taking a lot longer than I wanted to get my room finished but, life happens. I really wanted to just go to the furniture store a buy my dream bedroom. But then I would have to hire an architect to remodel my bedroom … well the whole back of my house. Then we would have to find a contractor to actually do the work. And then we would be living in a mess for 3+ months. Oh and did I mention we would have to rob a bank to pay for all this.

I decided to change my dream and keep it simple. I love simple. It’s even better when it turns out looking great!!

When I decided to redecorate or I should say decorated my bedroom I went with Shabby Chic. I wanted a peaceful feel which would include all our treasures. And husband said, “no pink please.” As if I would to that to him.

Anyway back to my bed canopy. I had a blurry vision of what I wanted but I could not find a picture anywhere to help me design it. I’m wasn’t able to describe it correctly either. Like I said, blurry vision. I kept looking and found pictures that almost were what I wanted, so I combined them all and this is what I came up with.

I painted an embroidery hoop.

Threaded 4 window sheers on to hoop.

Tied some white ribbon on.

Bought a ceiling hook and put it up all by myself.

Place 2 large hooks on the sides of the bed to hold back the sheers.

I love how it turned out.

Hope you enjoyed reading!
