The Bear Bedroom

Here's our guest bedroom in North Carolina

It's quite a change from our decorating in South Florida.

A cabin look here with black bears,
pine trees, quilts, and lots of red.

Here's how the room started.

The sliders to the large deck.

We got to use some of the art that we've
collected over the years and have used in
previous northern homes. 

 Winter watercolors are by artist Jack Schmitt

Most have a fall or winter theme and are 

better suited for our place in NC.

A wood carving from Germany of the Lorsch

Rathaus, my father's family birthplace.

Larry's old Cornell Lacrosse sticks are used
for the drapery panels. The are the old ones
made of wood and leather.

Before we added the headboard, watercolors
and wood trim to the room.

We added architectural interest with wood 

trim molding stained to match the floors.

Into guest bath. It also has a bear theme.

The deck in the summer with access from

the guest room sliders.

A nice spot to sit.

A custom made king headboard.

With a hidden switch for a night light.

I used a template from a metal kleenex box

I have in the guest bathroom.
I'll post that room next.

I've had this old red trunk for years.

It sits at the foot of the bed and stores

 seasonal clothes. 

Bear Clock

Now we are ready for our guests! 

Just kidding, we always make them breakfast!

note: The bedding is from Target years ago. 

Bear quilt and pillow shams, and flannel bear sheet set

Cheers!
