Little Corner of Bedroom

I decided to frame the crocheted rag doll that my grandmother made. The doll's dress is made of material either from a flour sack or some sort of feed sack. Her pigtails did not survive my childhood.

I have had the unfinished shadowbox frame in storage for years. I spray painted it Heirloom White and lined it with burlap over some thin sheets of styrofoam packing material.

One thing lead to another and one corner of our bedroom was made-over.

I hung a photo of my great-aunt Minnie over a shelf filled with treasured family pieces.

My mother's first grade perfect attendance gift; a Czechoslovakian lustre ware vase circa 1927 or 1928.

The only surviving piece of an antique English bone china chocolate set. My Mother had the set displayed on her mantle. A picture over the mantle fell and broke all the other pieces.

 

A little lipstick holder that my Aunt Minnie gave me when I was a child.

 

Aunt Minnie's sitting hen dish where she kept her earrings.

 

The little pink chair was one that my Mother sat in to put on her shoes. She bought it from a friend who restored antiques. I have thought about painting it over the years and finally broke down and painted it Pineapple yellow. I hated the yellow and then painted it green. The green turned out too minty, so I decided to go with a pink oops paint I found at Home Depot. I thought the pink would pick up some of the colors in the quilt on the end of the bed and add a spot of color.

The quilt was made by Mother after she retired from nursing.

The seat upholstery and pillow are Mother's original choices which I may change at some point.
