Remember the guestroom that mom and dad worked on last year? Autumn showed you the stencil just about one year ago!
They did finish the bedroom and it was just beautiful and we did have guest sleep in it a couple of times.Well, mom and dad talked about switching their bedroom that's in the front of the house to this guestroom, which is in the back of the house. They thought it might be more quiet in the summertime when the windows are open!
Mom had a brainstorm to not wait until the summer to switch!
Come on up!
Dad made this canopy bed for mom in 1999. She asked dad to build her a canopy bed not long after they got married and dad built everything else under the sun but he refused to tackle a bed for her. And as they say, all good things come to those who wait! Mom finally got her beautiful cherry canopy bed and she LOVES it and dad actually had a great time making it for her!
The schoolhouse quilt on the bed was the first patchwork quilt that mom ever made and she now needs to add fabric on either side to make it longer. The quilt was made for a full size bed and the canopy bed is a queen.
We're moved in and it's very cozy and very comfy!
This is my spot right next to the radiator! I've been a very happy and warm boy this winter!
I'm coming, Maggie!
You see, Maggie doesn't like the stairs! She never really did but she did go up and down once a day when she slept upstairs with us for many years but now that she's getting older, she prefers not to make the trip up and down any longer and she's perfectly happy sleeping on first floor.We go out for peepees at 9PM and we kiss Maggie goodnight and she sleeps downstairs next to her radiator with her stuffie that we call Baby!
So Maggie and I each have our own spots that we sleep in at night and in the morning, we're very happy to be together again and we wait for our breakie to be served at 6AM sharp!So until next time.................
Your friends,
Mitch and Maggie
That is a LOVELY room indeed! The canopy bed is BEAUTIFUL...and I think your Dad is such a great builder, Mitch! *grins*

What a beautiful bedroom! We can see why you all wanted to sleep there. Your folks are so talented to make beds and quilts. We like to have are breakfast nice and early too.

What a great room and gorgeous bed! Your dad should be very proud that he could tackle a project as big as a canopy bed! OUR dad would be impressed!

Yuh, same problem here, Master builds things in his own time. That canopy bed was certainly worth the wait.
ReplyDeleteWe have our own sleepy spots too and momma usually tucks us both in before she goes to bed.

What a beautiful room. We can see why they don't let you sleep on their bed - our peeps don't let us on theirs either. This winter Java has slept on a bed in the middle of our living room floor - and he takes up a lot of room!!
ReplyDeleteThe lavender title in your picture looks great.

I can smell the new paint from here, a bedroom with a fireplace? That's heaven on earth!
ReplyDeleteI pay anything just to sleep on that lovely canopy bed (like take a bath without whining).
Your pawrents are craftful artists!
We admire their lovely craft art!
You have some extremely talented folks! Enjoy all your hard work!
ReplyDeleteYou have such a beautiful house!
ReplyDeleteSam
My mom is totally in love with your stairs and those stencils - her (I mean our) kitchen is that exact color!!
ReplyDeleteBoth your beds look so warm and cozy - Baby is lucky to have Maggie to sleep with!
WOW ! What a beautiful and cozy room ! You guys sure are lucky to sleep in such a cozy room ! ;)
ReplyDeleteVery nice George!! Very nice Sue.
ReplyDeleteYou both are makers!!!! Love the quilt too!!!
Isn't it nice to live with a talented man!! I live with a talented man too!!!
Thanks for your kind words about my Mom. She was a pretty woman!!!
I love that song too 'OH Pretty Woman'. Do you know it??
Kiss for you Maggie and Mitch!!!
Your house has SO much character! What a great place you live in, especially since so much of the stuff in it is MADE by your mom & dad!! Mason doesn't like the steps either these days, good thing mom * dad's bedroom is on the first floor!

What a pretty bedroom! We sleep on different floors, too. The little girls sleep in their crates downstairs and Tsar chooses to sleep near the front door. I don't know if he's guarding us or waiting to make his escape. The rest of us sleep in Mom and Dad's room but only Samba and Morgan sleep on the bed.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful bed. Mom loves the lace canopy.
ReplyDeleteLove Ruby & Penny
What a great new room and that bed is fabulous and the quilt too! You have some talented pawrents Maggie and Mitch. I loved the last sweet picture of Maggie sleeping on the first floor....sweet dreams cutie pie!

what a nice looking bed! Glad you guys have your own space for sleeping, I sure wish I could ditch Tanner somewhere, he snores so loud!
ReplyDeleteWowsa, Mitch! Your mom and dad are both Most Talented! My mom still hasn't sewed up my coat where The Ninjas got it and your mom made a whole quilt!
ReplyDeleteI luvs your bedroom. Thank you for sharing it with us!

I love your cozy home! Enjoy the new digs!
ReplyDeleteIt was interesting to hear about everyone's sleeping arrangements today. The bedroom looks awesome and I love the fireplace. We have a canopy bed similar to yours, but it was bought and it's not half as pretty.
ReplyDeleteTwink!
What a lot of hard work changing rooms!
ReplyDeleteThe end result is absolutely beautiful and we know you will all sleep more soundly.

What a gorgeous room, bed, quilt and lace canopy!!! Oh my goodness, so pretty! Love the kettle on the radiator! When I was a little girl, I remember a similar scene in my room (so long ago!) to rid the air of its dryness! Memories! Amazing that you two don't sleep together, but doggehs need time away from each other too, I guess! WOOFS!
ReplyDeleteAnd big Hugs too,
xoxoxoxoxoxox Sammie
what a stunning room and a perfect setup i so wish mollie would go sleep on her own - loves and licks
ReplyDeleteYour new bedroom is really beautiful Mitch. You're a very lucky boy. Oscar has found he likes to be close to a radiator too! Nothing like home comforts!
ReplyDeleteThat bed is amazing---especially to know that your daddy made it with his own two hands.Wow! Haven't seen a radiator in our lives. Mommy says her home growing up back east used to have them. I'd probably be scared of them. Have a good day.

Upstair. Downstairs. Great idea. I like seperate sleeping arrangements from Baby.She is a TOTAL bedhog!! Btw,she refuses to learn to work the treat machine still. Daddy even tried working with her but she is very stubborn. Too bad,all the more treats for moi!

Your great sleeping places make me want to curl up and NAP!!! Very, very nice places! Roo Roo, Stuart

What a beautiful room!!! And your Dad is so talented - that bed is gorgeous. We have a canopy mahogany bed in one of our bedrooms too - it belonged to our Dad's parents.
ReplyDeleteMaggie looks so comfy there on her bed. Bet you two get all excited to see each other in the morning.

Wow what a gorgeous bed and your Dad made it? Amazing.The quilt is fab too. There's an American Museum over here, they have a whole room full of old quilts, lots like your one,Mom says they are wonderful. Your leggeds new bedroom looks beautiful, right out of Country living magazine and just what we Brits imagine the very best of new England to be! Perfect.

What a great job on that bed. Maybe he could make each of you a canopy doggie bed!
ReplyDeleteThe new bed room with the canopy bed looks so cozy.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like there would be some nice sweet dreams. You dad did beautiful work. And your moms quilt is gorgeous.
Thank you for sharing with me- where you dream sweet dreams - each in your own bed. I love radiatiors too, but we do not have any.

That new bedroom look great...good job!! Maggie, I like to sleep by myself too. When Mom moves around in the bed, it drives me crazy, so I have to jump off the bed. These days I've taken to sleeping on the floor all the time. I need my rest!!
ReplyDeleteTeddy
Hey, nice and cosy bedroom you've got there. You have chosen the best spot next to the heater! Do they use the open fire place as well?
ReplyDeleteWe sleep in our pinkies' room, too. Well, most nights. When we have friends over it gets a bit crowded so beds are all over the place and we simply choose which one will do for the night. First in, best dressed.
Maggie looks comfy too. We know, stairs can be a trouble...
Well. FIRST! That gorgeous canopy bed reminds Moma of the one she grew up in ... and our auntie has it now. Sooooo lovely! Who made the canopy? The lace is beautiful. Just like the quilt.
ReplyDeleteSecond. That radiator would come in really really handy right now. Upstairs or down. Moma groomed out all our furs today. Brrrrr.
Third. We love our house. And your stencils. And YOU!

What a wonderful new bed & the quilt looks great on it. Your Mom & Dad are so talented! You both are very lucky to have nice warm beds near the radiators. Sasha is like Maggie- stairs are not easy for her anymore.

Nice digs! Is that a working fireplace? Love the big ole 4 poster bed with the lacy thingy on top. I have a 4 poster but no top gizmo. SHE said it would interfere with the overhead fan and being cool is better than being hot when you live in Floriduh. If we lived there Puffy and I both would have to sleep downstairs. Our leggies are too short. When we go to our Sissies house or Gramma's house, they have stairs and we can manage about 1 trip up or down a day and Puffy can't do that at all anymore. It rubs the furs off our bellies, so we have to hop up, stop, hop up and stop on each step.

Wow, what a gorgeous bedroom! That is very nice canopy bed too and I bet there was alot of love put into building it. I don't like stairs either and I am just still a baby really. I just don't like them at all. Its good seeing you too, its been to long since I have been by
ReplyDeleteDeetzy
Well, Maggie is a girl who knows what she wants! It's seems funny to me that she prefers to sleep downstairs! Every once in awhile, I slip away to the closet and curl up to sleep in an old comforter that's there.
ReplyDeleteTHAT BED IS GORGEOUS!!!! Simply gorgeous! Motch loves everything about your house!
I love PLANTS!! Flowers and the foodables. Our little tomatoe baby plants are up and some have their first true leaves. We have pepper plants up and parsley, basil and cat nip. We are coming right alone.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to be eating our home grown tomatoes!!!!!!!!!
Kiss for you pups, Bambi & Fern

ReplyDeleteYour dad is amazing making that bed after all these years but Maggie ... yoohooo maggie! I think I'd rather sleep upstairs. Can I borrow you blankie? Oh..grrr. Never wake a sleeping princess.

I'm loving all the bits and pieces you share each time, they make up a beautiful puzzle of love story. I'm so moved by the beautiful bed dad has made for mom!
ReplyDeleteThe goodnight kiss for Maggie, her Baby, keeping snug and warm, all these little effort and thoughtfulness, I'm loving every sensitivity. What a warm family. =)
Wow, your dad is very talented, the bed is awesome!!! My mom said she'd love to have something like that. He did a great job.
ReplyDeleteGlad you both stay warm and comfy at night.
