The Other Side of Lillie and Lola's Old Fashioned New England Bedroom (and a New Canvas)

 

Last month I showed you one side of Lillie and Lola's room up here in New Hampshire. We've actually added a few finishing touches to that side (a rug, some trunks for the ends of the beds, and silhouettes above their bed) that I will share soon but for today I thought I would share the other side of their room seeing how I still on the hunt for the right little nightstand/dresser for between the beds. We have a temporary one there now but I am hoping to find the right piece although I am running out of time this trip. So, for now here are photos of the opposite wall. We painted a dresser from my grandfather's house with some Annie Sloan paint in graphite. I actually just quickly put one coat on during my last trip and ran out of time to add the second coat and wax it so figured I would get to it this trip. I've been working on a bunch of other projects though this trip and haven't gotten around to it so it may have to wait until next trip. So don't look too closely - ha!
 

 

 

 

 


I  really love this canvas we got from Easy Canvas Prints. It's one of my favorite photos and I love the quality of the canvas and they are great to work with.  And I am excited because we just listed this canvas in our shop.

  4. Loved the sneak peek of Jason's living room and the girls' room is looking equally fantastic. Headed over bright and early to TJMaxx this morning hoping to find your London clock there. Sadly, not a one to be found. I'm smitten! Wish I could have found one.

  6. Jennifer...would you some info about the Ritva panels? Are they a heavy curtain that would work old DRAFTY windows? If not, could you recommend another curtain from IKEA? Thank you so much...love all your posts!

    1. Thanks, Ann! I don't think they are a super heavy curtain--I would consider them a lightweight to medium-lightweight curtain. I'm not sure about any thicker ones that they carry--sorry :(
