A New Look in the Bedroom

The bedrooms have evolved . . . 

From duvets and a pile of pillows

To a matelasse coverlet with the duvet folded every morning at the bottom

And then Friday when I was in Pittsburg, 

which is a favorite hunting ground of Friend Sally and I

we went to a new store

Serendipity Vintage Finds and Collectibles

And were we impressed!!!!

Sally came home with an wonderful burgundy velvet covered Eastlake rocker

and I came home with a Bates hobnail bedspread

The needlepoint pillow on the little loveseat is the first piece of needlepoint that I ever did!

Which I put on the Master bed

I've been thinking that I need to change out the matelasse

And was thinking to change it out with a Bates

(for eons ago, the spread that I used was a Bates

and it was a good look for the room)

I love the old fashioned look of the Bates

And I think it gives the room a more vintage look

Of the three views of the room in this post, this definitely is my favorite!

The spread has roses

As does thew wallpaper in the master bedroom

A couple of needlepoint pillows on the bed to add some color.

It's interesting to see that what's old is new again!

I love Bates spreads

They wear like iron

They wash really well

(and I like washable spreads)

Now  . . . . 

I'm thinking I need a second --

For the bed in the guest room!

Next time we're in Pittsburg, we'll definitely stop at Serendipity again.

It's a shop full of treasures and there is definitely something for everyone!

It's not a large shop but I really prefer that

Quality over quantity!
