Rangwali princess

a perfectly delightful PINK bedroom

This is surely the most beautiful room that I have ever created. Or, if not, it’s my personal favorite, probably because I made it just for myself. No compromises. No holding back. Free to indulge in color, color, color!

I am so happy to welcome you to the first finished room in my new home. Step inside my bedroom. Why not? We’re already pretty good friends ;)

Let’s sit down and share a pot of tea. I don’t have a sofa in this apartment (my longarm sewing machine claimed that real estate), but these two vintage chairs stand in pretty well. Sitting in them feels as nice as they look!

The view from our chairs is pretty good too. On the one hand there’s Rosie Coin quilt looking like the goddess she is against those Rangwali pink walls. Do you know what? I’m not going to hang a thing above this bed. I adore being drenched in all that intense color.

On the other hand there’s this little scene by the door, courtesy of my notions dresser. This was just the place for that oil painting found last year at a vintage market. From my char I can peak through to the hallway and spy the wallpaper in the entry. More on that soon!

And do you know what I see when I wake up every morning?

Oh my gosh, this quilt! I chose the wall color to compliment this quilt and then made Rosie Coin quilt to coordinate. The effect is stunning! I love the way the little bright pink squares pop and the deep reds get even more intense.

Inhibition quilt is one of my personal faves and she’s loaded with personal meaning about longing and boundaries in relationship, as well as personal independence. It’s a good anchor piece for this time in my life.

Of course, the room is functional as well. I have a whole wall of wardrobes to maximize storage for clothing and linens. The bright white also reflects the light coming into the room to keep things cheery.

This vintage nightstand has a lovely, warm hue. Its ample drawers hold normal nightstand things as well as correspondence, cables and my laptop, when I’d like to clear my living room/work room table.

And today I just finished hemming these Ikea curtains. They make the room nice and dark for sleeping, all while adding another shade of pink. Because more pink is more pretty. ;)

This image captures almost all the pretty things in one fell swoop! Well, friends, I’m in love with this space! I literally feel like a princess getting to sit and sleep here. Suffice it to say, I’m feeling right at home.

Thanks for coming to visit!

Notes: Wall color is Rangwali by Farrow and Ball, mixed in Sikkens Alphacryl Pure Mat paint. The vintage chairs and nightstand were purchased from Tijdperk Vintage, a Dutch shop that offers furniture from the 1950s to the 1980s, with a focus on high-quality Scandinavian, Dutch and other European pieces.
