Okay! Okay! I admit to a teddy bear fetish also. Satisfied? Hee........oh, and that is Fonz takin' a snooze on the end of the bed. I have a very large picture with some southern belles on it that is going over the bed and some wall sconces, but I don't have them up yet. ::sigh:: Will retake when I get them up.
You have already seen the wall with the dresser in some of the first pics I took.
The wall by the bathroom.
These shelves contain two of my favorite pasttimes which consists of reading and music. The top shelve holds many, but not all, of my cassette tapes. The middle shelf holds some, but not nearly all, of my books, more teddy bears, and a couple of candles (always apple/cinnamon), and the bottom shelf is all of my record albums. Hubby gave me the porcelain doll on the top shelf for Christmas many years ago, as I had always wanted one. I bought the pictures above the shelves at a thrift store in Colorado. I loved them because they are of my favorite season, Autumn, and they have ladies in both pics that reminded me of southern belles. My SIL made the flower arrangement for me. Did I mention Hubby built the shelves when he was in high school? They are cedar. I should have my head examined for painting them. ::sigh::
Standing at the bedroom door looking across to the other side of the bedroom.
The antique picture is of my grandmother when she was very young. As stated previously, I have a thing for teddy bears. The stereo belonged to my Father, now deceased. It plays records, cassette tapes, and has a radio. Love my music!~
Looking on that same wall in the corner by the bed is my sewing machine with my air purifier and victorian lamp sitting on top. They are hard to see, but there are a couple of tins in the very far corner related to sewing. I bought the picture at a yard sale in Colorado. It has more southern belles in it. Are ya seein' a theme here?
The shelves are beside the bathroom door. Hubby built them for me because I have no place for my linens, as there is no linen closet. He built a smaller set beside them for my collection of Reader's Digest books, some favorite photos, and other little knick knacks. Yep, hes a keeper! Thanks, Honey! The gold-rimmed pic on the wall I also bought at a yard sale. It is of different hats that I would picture a southern belle to wear.
The TV is going to go on the top shelf as soon as Hubby takes time to drill a hole so we can run the cable cord. I wish he would hurry up, it is driving me nuts for it to sit in the floor like that on a tub I use for laundry! The jewelry boxes and travel bag that are currently where the TV will go will then move into the closet when he gets my shelves built in there. We plan to put a DVR under the TV where the red, white, and blue comforter is currently.
My exercise mat is currently stuffed beside the dresser. It is going to go on the top shelf in our walkin closet when Hubby gets those built. When we moved in, we only had one rod and a wire shelf. We took that out. We took a trip to Home Depot (our favorite place to shop) when we moved in and he put back the one rod on the wall looking into the closet for my long hanging clothes like dresses and robes, and then he put two rods on the side wall. The first one holds my blouses and slacks and the second holds his shirts and pants. We can put so much more in the closet now since he changed out the rods and added two. Instead of one shelf, I will have two shelves. So nice to have a Hubby who is a jack-of-all-trades!~
K, all that is left is my daughter's bedroom and her bathroom and since she seldom cleans it up, it may never get posted. It drives me nuts! Teenagers! Sad thing is, I was just like her, lol. My sis and I shared a room. My sis, at the time, was the neat freak and I was the slob. How did I become more like my sis in my old age and I am two years older? That is one to ponder, for sure! Hee.........
Hope you enjoyed the tour so far. I have some retakes to post. I didn't like some of the ones I posted the first time cuz I don't know how to use my daughter's new camera like I know how to use mine and that still ain't sayin' too much! ::snort::
Blessings!~

I use to be all about teddy bears but now it is snowmen and birdhouses....
We have those same cassette holders and we have albums but no player, can't believe you still have a player....
Hubby is very handy making shelves for all your things but I don't see any hubby things.....
Thanks for sharing...
Linda :)
I love that dresser with oval mirror...

loved the tour you did, Susan; very nice bedroom; the teddy bears are so cute; wonder if Fonz gets jealous wanting the top part of the bed where the bears are. I think it is neat that your husband is so talented to make those things for you, shelving, etc. Saves on getting someone else to do it and it looks like he does great work!!
betty
Did you sew those quilts yourself? They look amazing.

Records....I remember those. Haven't seen many of them in a long time. Actually, I was a little surprised seeing the picture at first because I thought that the boxes on top were the size of audio tapes...I had thought I was the last person to phase those out. Then I saw the records...you really are the last hold-out. However, there is nothing quite like listening to a good vinyl record with the pops and cracks.
