" A GWTW ROOM "

Sooooooooo.....I threw myself into a project! This project~ A Gone With The Wind guest bedroom. You know I decorated the entertainment center with the set of GWTW plates I got on EBay. Being the GWTW freak I am, I needed somewhere to display my other collectibles. After seeing the pictures of the GWTW Suite at the Magnolia Mansion in New Orleans, I had an AH HA moment. I'll do my own !

































One of the first things I ordered was this Bed Crown Shelf which I intend to stain dark to match the furniture in the room. I'm still waiting for it and it has me held up, it got held up in Des Moines, Iowa so who knows when I'll get it.................

These shelves will also be stained to match it.............got to get on that!

Some of my collectibles..................Franklin Mint Globed Figurines 4 of Scarlett, 1 each of Melanie and Belle Whatling. The tall Scarlett is a San Francisco Music Box Figurine.

The bed is pretty much finished except for sewing on some decorative satin flowers on the pillows............

The new curtains are velvet. The sheers have a hand crochet piece near the bottom...

I ordered a king set of Emerald Green Satin Sheets. The flat sheet will be used with the bed crown. I made pillows from the pillow cases. I took the elastic out of the fitted sheet and I'm using the material for other projects. The green and white folded piece on the end of the bed is my favorite find on EBay. It is a hand crochet and king size. The woman I got it from said her Grandmother made it over 40 years ago. It is in perfect condition! The bed skirt is another hand crochet purchase from EBay.

The dresser has several vintage pieces including vintage perfume bottles, jewelry, jewelry caskets, hat pins and my GWTW Jewelry/Music Box.

I'm waiting on a pair of Brass Bookends for these books............

Remember the yard sale stool I bought for $5.00 and refinished? I covered it with some of the fitted sheet satin and put clear vinyl over that..........

I got these metal hooks to put on the wall to hang something on..............

I spray painted them brilliant gold and hand painted the stones emerald green.........

These are the hold backs for the bed crown.................

I hand painted these to match the room better................

I really wanted this vintage dresser set..........I put the first bid on it and watched it for a week.

The bidding went up several times what I was willing to give! It sold for $ 262.88 ! It is Appollo from the 1920's!

I did get this vintage celloid set and cleaned it up.........................

I also got the Brass Wall Sconces.............

This Vanity Tray is going in my bedroom..................

To hold this vintage set...............

This tray is to hold the pink set you saw earlier.........

I'm also waiting for the table cloth and dollies to match this runner for the GWTW room.

So you see, I've been pretty busy! When it all arrives and I get it all put in place you will get the Grand Tour.........:)

I've also been collecting shower curtains, hooks, wallpaper border and curtains for the two bathrooms. I have to strip all the wallpaper already in them first before we can start on them.
Thanks for visiting and I'll keep you posted! XOXO
