BEDROOMS :)











I thought you may be interested in the dressing table.



It is Sammys great great grandmothers!!!



I remember it so well as a child my mother was ill a lot and in



hospital, so my sister and I stayed with grandma and my aunt.



The dressing table I adored and polished it every week ,lovingly.



It originally was a lighter oak ,I think its cherrywood but husb said not!!!



Anyway, I bought it from probate as Iwas attached to it ,



with a matching wardrobe and bed which was a too small double.



So we had it darkened to match the 4 poster (hopefully shown)



The 4 poster came from a castle and is authentic ,it really is



gorgeous.



So this is my bedroom where my daughter lives !!!!



( the dressing table set was removed for when the workmen



were due to decorate) otherwise it looks very pretty usually.

I love the look of four posters, but could never sleep in one for fear of eight legged beasties that might be lodging in the draperies!
How lovely to have the dressing table that belonged to your grndmother. What a lot of memories that must bring back to you. Thank you for letting us have a peep at your lovely room.

My first thought exactly!! I am so scared of spiders. When I moved into this house, my bedroom had a 'coronet' fitting on the ceiling, with curtains and nets draping down from it. It was pulled down the day I moved in as I was not prepared to spend one night with drapes hanging over my head for the monsters to get in and drop down onto me!!
Having said that, your bed is gorgeous, and I would love it (for guests to sleep in, not me!) Is Ria staying with you, or do you mean this is her room when she does stay?
How old is the dressing table? I is soooo pretty:0)
