given to me the other day (THANK YOU THANK YOU KAREN!)
is this AWESOME glass chandelier with crystals to hang over our bed
(near the foot but not at the end)
Bedding?
I have chosen a Rachel Ashwell new linen line of duvet cover in oatmeal....(thanks Lu)
a writing desk is essential in our master bedroom...a place I can take refuge and write letters and novels looking out to the countryside....
i have chosen to "attempt" my first ever faux paint job onto a piece of furniture I
already have, styled after this great desk by Tracy Porter:
a possibility of adding mirrors over the end tables, which will be painted such as these as well

right now I'm redecorating my oldest daughter's bedroom to an equestrian style room, for her birthday, but as soon as I'm done, master bedroom here I come!
*some of you have emailed me regarding my pregnancy....and I hope I have gotten back to you all...if not, or if you are curious...the baby and I are doing fine...and he or she is due the ending of Feb/beginning of March*
thank you for your concern and prayers...you're the best!

Hello Anne Marie,
ReplyDeleteI can hardly wait to see pictures of your bedroom when it is finished!!
I love all of the pictures you shared with us!!!
Isn't that last picture Caroline's bedroom from Ekster Antiques? Did you know that she will be featured in Romantic Prairie Style too..... : )
I saved that last picture too. I just love everything about that room!
Sorry for being so absent lately. I just got back from Montana at 7:30 this morning! I am trying to get caught up on everything.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Love,
Maria
Anne Marie:
ReplyDeleteI'm loving your inspiration! Your new look is going to be beautiful.

Looking forward to photos when you're finished.
Glad to hear you and the baby are doing well. Time sure seems to fly!

Ladylike, graceful, romantic, strong, wise, nurturing, beautiful. These are all words that I think would describe you and should be taken into consideration in your master bedroom. I know this room will be stunning. Can't wait to see it.
ReplyDeleteOooh... I LOVE that chandelier and the bedding from Rachel Ashwell... beautiful! All of the inspiration photos are beautiful, too... you know I love the last pic. :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your bedroom once you get it all done!
I'm so glad to hear you and the baby are doing well, Anne Marie. I can't believe your due date is right around the corner already!
Have a great week!
xoxo,
Jo :)

anne marie, this is going to be amazing. love the linens, love the writing desk. i should do mine right along with you. mine is way overdue.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your pregnancy Anne Marie! What a great way to start the New Year! Your bedroom ideas look beautiful and I can't wait to see how you pull it all together. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI just know it will be heavenly.
ReplyDeleteplease show all the finished projects.
There's an iron pediment/corona at Scentimental Gardens ... looks somewhat like the last photo.
oh my goodness. beautiful style! and oh! I thought for some reason baby was coming the end of spring? you're nearly done and will have this baby in your arms soon. thinking of you! xo
ReplyDeleteI love your vision! Your room looks like it will be gorgeous. What's really nice (for me, at least), is that there are a lot of affordable linens out there now for those of us on a budget. Mandy, Target carries Rachel Ashwell bedding with linen; even the oatmeal colored linen. I don't know if it's the same one Anne Marie will use, but it looks nice on Target's website. Anne Marie, I'm glad to hear that you and baby are doing well. You must be so excited!
ReplyDeleteso so so pretty!

ReplyDeleteLove the photo of Caroline's room from Ekster Antiques. She lives only 30-35 minutes from me (I don't know her personally of course, just read in the magazine that she's nearby).
Glad to hear that you and baby are doing well...Abigail was born right about that time too. Who knows...maybe they will share a birthday :)
God Bless and Happy New Year, my friend.
