Take a Peek into Happy’s New Bedroom.
I thought I would let you take a peek into our new home and show you how my bedroom is coming along…It’s is so bright and welcoming and such a joy to spend time in there! I have had so many good sleeps in this bright and pretty room, I feel like I have been on holiday…I feel recuperated, especially after all that moving house and all!
I have decorated it almost the same as in our old house, but have added a few extra bits and bobs…The dressing table is new…It was a bargain buy from Ebay at only £44.00! It needs a bit of work as there is a painted 1980’s pink bow border over it, but that is something that I am going to have to sort out over the next few months.
Also I now have proper drawing curtains! woohoo! Yes I managed to get a friend of ours to put up curtain poles in each of the bedrooms and it is Bliss! You know how many curtains I was saving and how much vintage material I have collected over the years! I have got to make the curtains for my craft room next door yet…but i know i will have plenty of choice in material to make them from!
I am not sure about the blue unit or the mirror above the chest of drawers either, but its staying for a couple more weeks until I decide where else to put them… The chest of drawers and mirror served as a good dressing table, but now I have the new dressing table…I now have two…so I am going to have to jig it all around again at some point!
One thing though, that really makes the room pop! Is the lovely sheet that I designed as a one-off from Matalandirect.com
Isn’t it beautiful!…I gave them my logo flower to print out onto a kingsize sheet to really ‘happyfy‘ my bedroom and it has turned out to be one stunning piece of kit!
As you can imagine I am thrilled with it…You all know how much I love my bedding! This is going to be a family heirloom I just know it!
At the moment I can’t add any pictures to the walls, because of the warranty on the house, which ends in October…I am currently looking into other alternatives to at least put something on the walls…perhaps vintage style wall stickers or using some kind of velcro sticker that doesn’t mark the wall…If you have any ideas, I would love to hear them…
What do you think of my new bedroom?
…and more importantly my new bespoke Bedspread?
Have a great weekend my lovelies.

Well! you would never have imagined it would you!
Moroccan Style mixed with shabby chic! surely not!Those two styles are at opposite ends of the decorating spectrum, so how the hell are they going to fuse together!..well just look above! That moroccan rug mixed with eastern glassware and those roses! well it looks like this idea could definitely work with a few of the right touches!
WHY DO IT
You see a friend said that to me the other day and I assured her that it would work. Her hubby loves the exotic moroccan style and she loves my happy shabby look. He had always won her over, opting for orange and brown hues, making the rooms look very dark…and we all know how depressing dark can be don’t we!
Moroccan style does NOT have to be all dark and dismal…True! it can be that way and you often see that style more often than not, but if you like the shabby chic thing, you can easily incorporate the two.
HOW
You can make a start with decorating your room white…this is a favourite decorating choice in the mediteranean and rightly so as white reflects the heat (dark colours draw in the heat) Just look at the picture above! so bright and calming with a good mix of eclectic furnishings, just the right amount of bright colours mixed in with the white , goes to make it a dreamy Eastern interior…imagine you biting the bullet and decorating in this style!…Suely it would feel like you lived by the sea every day of your life!
WHERE
You can get this look with just a few key pieces. Use your imagination and scour charity and junk shops in your area…you never know what you will find and you can always upcycle something by giving it a lick of paint…perhaps in bright pink with gold squares for decoration…I am so loving bright Fuschia pink and gold at the moment!
You could always try making a pouffe like the one above, there is plenty of free patterns out there on the web…Or perhaps a few floor cushions could just be the change you need to get you in the mood for your own Moroccan shabby chic interior.
I hope these pictures have inspired you to want to decorate in this way.
As indeed I hope my friends hubby will be won over by these gorgeous pictures too!Do you like this style?Or do you prefer the dark oranges and browns?
Speak soon my lovelies x
