I hope to leave my lifetime of victorian antiques to a young lady like this. I have no children, so i can find someone appreciated that my unpainted, unadulterated antiques can stay the same.
Very Victorian, beautiful colours plum, pink tones! I think if you can spot something in a velvet or soft fluffy fabric, or even knitted a throw across the bottom of the bed would lend a softness and allow for more subtle colour to flow through, just a suggestion, victorians loved brocades, silk, velvets,tapestry, crossword, and rich embroideries, and lace! The best part is you can change it for summer hues, winter hues, and spring, and autumn, so doesn’t have to remain static. Loved it all.
Your content is very underrated! Great narration and fantastic style/vibe. You deserve more views and subscribers. Keep making the home related stuff, its great stuff.
Oh it all looks just perfect and for less than $500 you must be over the moon. I can honestly say I love nothing more than finding that special item at an Op shop, bringing it home and knowing it's safe for at least another 50 years. Looking forward to the next episode. Blessed Be 💜🖤
@@theramblingrose_ I know. I live in a tiny town so have to drive to other towns for antiques, but they have the most amazing pieces and they're not insanely expensive. Give me rural/country Op shops over the city any day 😊
All those old books! My nose goes immediately to the spine when I open one. I love every single item you chose, love, including the gorgeous paint shade you chose for your walls. Belladonna is really coming together! The final reveal to the beautiful words of Keats brought tears to my eyes and joy to my soul. Thank you for sharing all you do with us.
Love the narration and light background music. Very nice room. I have a touch of romanticism in my bedroom with a few antiques. It really makes my bedroom feel like a special place. Also, I just have to say you have a beautiful dog.
Tip for picture walls…. Trace the shapes on to paper then stick the papers on the wall, so you can play around with the spaces and shapes. Then when you get a sequence you like, nail through the paper, pull the paper off and hang your pics
This video is so magical and spellbinding. The hues of rich mauve, ballet pinks, rich browns, cornflower blue and forest greens are so lovely. It’s so beautiful! 😍 🥀 🔮 The coffee rose color is pure perfection. And that joke about Mary Shelley and ABBA made my morning! 😂
Wow, thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed this episode - and 'spellbinding' is one of my favourite words. I think you'll enjoy the next episode I'm working on, as it has a lot more literary references and poetry - I think I'll even throw some more Shelley in 🧚♀️xx
Hello Miss Rambling Rose! You have done such a lovely job with transforming your bedroom. It looks so beautiful. I love your color palette and all the little touches you included. It's so inspiring. I just moved into my new home a year ago and am feeling called to make the space truly my own. I stumbled upon your channel in my quest for ideas on giving the place some charm and warmth. You asked in the video about what room people would like to see next? I would love to see how you re-do/decorate your kitchen. The kitchen has a lot of magick in it 💜 Thank you for the terrific video!
That divine "Coffee Rose" paint looks quite similar to a paint color that I have recently fallen in Love with for the exterior of my 1940s Colonial Revival architectural style Home called "Blackberry Mocha" by Behr Dynasty paints. Your taste in Vintage and Antiques very much mirrors my taste. I am so delighted to have discovered your channel through this video. I, too, am a young woman and focusing profoundly on decorating. Your voice over has an endearingly poetic/literary sound to it. Thank you for sharing this lovely aesthetic transformation with us. 🖤💐🖤
What a lovely comment, thank you so much! You'll get to see a little more of the bedroom in the next episode I'm working on too... I hope you'll like it just as much 🌹xx
@@theramblingrose_ I watched your video over breakfast and I had a thought. I think it would look stunning outside that bedroom window to completely set off the colours would be a pink flowering dogwood. They have a stunning shape even when not in flower. It would look perfect. One of the most beautiful small trees. Maybe offset it nearby with a weeping cherry. Winter is the cheapest time to get them when they are bare rooted. Love your colour scheme. The wall colour is lush and velvety. So glad you got rid of the vivid white. It all looks so beautiful. I get antique furniture off gumtree really cheap. You just set up a detailed search on the app, and it notifies you when something is listed that matches. It's how I got my antique brass and porcelain bed for $300 (its worth a few thousand). Wardrobes are often $50 especially the antique ones. One with a style of your beautiful dresser and mirror. Stunning piece 😊
Everything looks just right - not too much, not too little and that wall color is a winner. I've been working on rebuilding my cabinet of curiosities as I sold everything a few years ago, so I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with yours. Mine isn't an actual cabinet, just recessed shelving in the dining room. It's especially fun to find treasures in Nature when I walk my dog or the gift of a feather from the birds.. Love that you included your dog in your video, animals make a house feel like home. Thanks for sharing what you're doing, making a peaceful sanctuary for ourselves is especially important these days and I like to see what other ladies are creating 💚
You are so right - creating a peaceful sanctuary in your own home and garden is so needed! And, yes, Noah makes the house feel a home. Although, I'd really love for a sweet fluffy kitty to join our family one day soon 🌹xx
❤ You have ample space for a lady’s vanity table with a intricate lace runner, a pretty lamp, few magic potion ( perfume ) antique bottles and jars on a glass tray, couple of small ornate photo frames, a vintage handheld mirror and vintage hair brush / comb set etc. It’ll bring a romantic old charm vibes to your lovely space!
Really love it. I’d love to see the living room and kitchen made over💜 And have you ever considered doing an episode focused on your wardrobe? I always like your outfits and shoes.
Ooohh that's a really cool idea! A wardrobe tour! I hadn't thought of that... Kitchen is a work in progress (eep!) but you can see what we did with the living room in this episode: ruclips.net/video/uNE2nLL0Opw/видео.htmlsi=qptNqXc6EKnJmJkI 🌹xx
Omg i loooove the final results. The paint color is gorgeous and all of the details and thrifted pieces are so beautiful. You have me wanting to redo my bedroom using some romantic academia and a bit of shabby chic.
Do you believe in 'happy accidents'? While the hiccup with your door was a nuisance, fate had something magnificent planned! I adore your plum door with stag hooks. A dreamy bedroom, with I hope, lots of good vibes from pre-loved/character items. I'm wondering about the Lady of Shallot print, did it make the shortlist for the bedroom wall? Thanks for sharing this gorgeous journey. Cheers, Kitty.
Ohh, the Lady of Shallot didn't quite find her place in the bedroom, but don't worry. I absolutely must display her somewhere... I'll keep thinking 🌹xx
Dear friend, pls don’t shy away from “home maintenance”. It’s extremely empowering to understand how a house works and fits together all its myriad parts! Many years ago my brother came to help me build a much needed “witchy” shed. I was able to incorporate many things I had found over the years (stained glass windows, French doors, iron shelf brackets…) and that was how my lifelong love of building began. Soon I was wanting to design and build beautiful old-style gates, pergolas, and eventually this live of building led to buying an ancient house and (with help) being able to restore it over a period of many years! I am old now but still in my heart I yearn to build and make beautiful things. All from learning a little “home maintenance” from my brother. 🌸 Your finished room is just beautiful with its layered pieces and infusion of love. ❤
Recommendations from other videos I've watched when hanging picture frames, was to get paper and trace all the frames you plan to use. Then you cut them out so you have the frame templates and can tape them on the wall. That way, you can figure out a layout before you start nailing.
The room is lovely, feminine and romantic. You've done a great job. But the most beautiful of all is gorgeous Noah. His beautiful colouring fits the room perfectly.
Having a heavy heart 💜 I decide to makeover my entire cottage and focus turned to beauty and joy with a dash of fun and giggles x little to be spent I was to use what I already had! Finding purpose in creating did bring miracles as my purple heart 💜 changed to ❤ x when I found your channel today it made my day! The fairies are at work for sure! Enjoy your beautiful dream space x makeovers are all about our insides ….
It's just so lovely, the lady in the birdcage is just as lovely. Your description of fairies and angels using the honesty as a mirror, had me thinking, what a beautiful tattoo that would be.
@@theramblingrose_ My 65 year old skin couldn’t handle getting a tattoo. My daughters friend years ago said she would like one with a fairy looking through a key hole, she never did, but I really liked that idea.
It's beautiful, Nancy, just like every other thing you show us on this channel. Hopefully you are warmer in this bedroom than the tiny house cottage. Well done you!!!❤
Beautiful! I love watching your videos. It is so relaxing and soothing. You have an artist’s way of making videos. The sounds, images, and words are perfectly magical.
oh, it's perfect! so romantic!! i'm not a pink person myself but the way you put these colors together is really beautiful and such a lovely video! i havent looked through your list of videos yet but if u havent done a living room makeover i would love to see that! will check out the rest of your videos now! could u let me know where u got the blackish burgandy peonies (?) from? 🖤❣🖤
Thank you so much - hmmm those peonies were from 'Bulmer's Gifts', a little shop in Bairnsdale, Victoria?? Perhaps you could ask them what brand they are? And no, I haven't tackled the living room yet - the bedroom was first on the list 🌹xx
It's actually a bodycon style dress from 'Disturbia' - it has little spiders on it! I just felt like a black lace sausage until I put the skirt on ahaha 🌹xx
The dried white translucent flowers you hanged upside down are called in French 'monnaie du pape'. It is said here to bring prospérité et abondance. Your bedroom is absoluty gorgeous. A real victorian feel to it.
I am so enjoying watching you decorate your cottage. It reminds me of my daughter decorating her Manhattan, New York apartment. She put together her gallery wall just as you did, going with instinct and a strong sense of style. At this very moment, she’s flying to New Zealand from New York to spend Christmas with family. I intend to watch this video with her once she’s here. I just subscribed. Have a merry Christmas. 😊❤️
Oh wow! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas together! It sounds like your daughter has a great eye for style - love it! Merry Christmas to you too ❤️xx
Lovely! FYI, you can use watered-down paint as a wood stain (so you could use brown Tint to stain wood and not deal with the off-gassing of other commercial stains). You simply brush it on, let it sit for a few seconds, and wipe off the excess before it dries. You can also use coffee, tea, food coloring and the like, but it would take many coats of those before wood went from as light as it is in the video to as dark as it became, as opposed to watered down paint. You then either leave the wood as is (unfinished) or apply oil or wax (or polyurethane, but I assume that would give you migraines as well). If you're going to continue using commercial stain, you might also want to know that there's such a thing as wood conditioner or pre-stain that you can apply before a stain. It helps the stain go on more evenly and greatly improves the look.
To stain wood a darker colour, I use steel wool soaked in vinegar. Left for a week or two....the steel wool dissolves....leaving a liquid which creates a lovely looking natural stain....which is totally non-toxic. You can dilute it with water for a lighter stain. You can oil the wood afterwards if you want a shiny finish❤
I have my mom’s dresser, mirror, and vanity from early 1920s. My walls are soft lavender (Ben Moore “Porcelain”). I have Victorian artwork in ornate soft gold frames on the walls. And I created silk floral arrangements in mauve, cream, plum, and green, in consignment shop vases. I would love to put up drapes, but the double window has a radiator under it. Maybe I’ll go with draped garlands.
Beautiful. Plum colour is a very bold one, it has to be used with great caution. However, you have an instinct for colours. It also helps that your bedroom has plenty of natural light. :)
I find it helpful to lay each frame on to plain paper, (I use the back of Xmas paper on rolls, as this is cheap), draw around and cut out shapes. These can be arranged on the wall, (stuck on back with a bit of folded over masking tape). This can save a lot of time and holes in the walls. Looks lovely, I have similar taste so I can relate to what your wanting to achieve. Have fun searching for the right pieces. Best wishes
What a lovely surprise...... I just discovered your channel. Altough I allready follow 3 lovely RUclipsrs.... I will watch now all your videos-because I was truly smitten with your channel. As a former classical ballerina I worked all my life on stage and film-no wonder I am enchanted with your filming/story/subjects.... I also allways recommand videos to my students...and your episode" Bedroom Make Over" will bring great joy to my teenage-students... kindest regards from Germany
I painted my old apartment the same color as your room. At my paint shop it was called "Stone Rose". I often see that same color when I'm watching movies. I see walls that same color. It must have been a good choice 😊😊❤❤
I absolutely love this!!! The pink brownish walls are so delightful. And those frames are everything even if they were haunted haha. Also your dog is so pretty. Loved this video 💕
The bedroom looks amazing! I just discovered your channel a few weeks ago and I'm really excited to see what you're going to do with your cottage. Your style is really beautiful and watching your videos is as calming as it is inspiring
Very nice bedroom design. The only thing missing is live plants. A couple parlour palms, some trailing plants at the windows or even a plant on a wall shelf would add some life and freshness to the room. Looking forward to part 2.
I hope to leave my lifetime of victorian antiques to a young lady like this. I have no children, so i can find someone appreciated that my unpainted, unadulterated antiques can stay the same.
Oh how sweet! Wouldn’t it be amazing if you two soulmates would be able to meet?
That would be sweet I'm doing my chickens house in victorian them to
I love antiques but I always go back and forth, painfully, about whether to refinish/paint or not.

You out for yourself with a beautiful bedroom that represents you spirit.
🌹xx
Your voice reminds me of being a kid coming home from school and watching ABC kids, so soft and gentle
Awww that's wonderful - the best feeling! Thank you 💗xx
This is almost exactly how i would decorate. Very lovely
Thank you so much 🌹xx
Love all the pieces!! The chandelier is definitely the piece de resistance!!
🌹xx
That wall color is so magical and feminine 😍😍 wow wow ✨
Thank you, gosh I love it too 🌹xx
I am so enjoying watching you decorate your cottage. It reminds me of my daughter decorating her Manhattan, New York apartment. She put together her gallery wall just as you did, going with instinct and a strong sense of style. At this very moment, she’s flying to New Zealand from New York to spend Christmas with family. I intend to watch this video with her once she’s here. I just subscribed. Have a merry Christmas. 😊❤️
Oh wow! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas together! It sounds like your daughter has a great eye for style - love it! Merry Christmas to you too ❤️xx
Lovely!
FYI, you can use watered-down paint as a wood stain (so you could use brown Tint to stain wood and not deal with the off-gassing of other commercial stains). You simply brush it on, let it sit for a few seconds, and wipe off the excess before it dries. You can also use coffee, tea, food coloring and the like, but it would take many coats of those before wood went from as light as it is in the video to as dark as it became, as opposed to watered down paint. You then either leave the wood as is (unfinished) or apply oil or wax (or polyurethane, but I assume that would give you migraines as well).
If you're going to continue using commercial stain, you might also want to know that there's such a thing as wood conditioner or pre-stain that you can apply before a stain. It helps the stain go on more evenly and greatly improves the look.
Ahhh good tip! Thanks for watching and for the handy hints 🌹xx
It's the way dreamy bedroom. The beautiful ambiance you made, it's beautiful 😍😍
Wow, thank you! So glad you like it ❤xx
Well....I am totally enchanted!!! Traveling back in time to such beauty warms my heart!!! I thank u!!! 💞💞🙃💞💞
Glad you enjoyed it! I do feel like I am time travelling 🌹xx
To stain wood a darker colour, I use steel wool soaked in vinegar. Left for a week or two....the steel wool dissolves....leaving a liquid which creates a lovely looking natural stain....which is totally non-toxic. You can dilute it with water for a lighter stain. You can oil the wood afterwards if you want a shiny finish❤
Thanks for the info! I'll definitely try that next time ❤xx
I love your choice of music, I feel so relaxed.
Thank you! So glad you like it ❤xx
I love those colors together.
Thank you Jessica 🌹xx
OH! I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! ABSOLUTELY EXQUISITE, SO BEAUTIFUL, THE COLOURS ARE GORGEOUS X ❤
Oh wow! Thank you so much - so glad you like it! ❤xx
Lovely color! Warm pinks, corals and reds look so very cozy at nighttime in the candlelight or low lamplight.
I totally agree! The one thing I think I need is some candles now... Thanks for watching 🌹xx
What a magic woman😍 Its 2am, I have to wake up soon, but I can't stop watching😭😂
It's beautiful! I would add a vintage floral wallpaper above the plum paint if it were me.
Oh yes, that's my dream. But I am struggling to justify the expense of wallpaper in the home... honestly, it's crazy expensive ❤xx
Well done Nancy - absolutely lovely boudoir. 💜
Thank you 🌹xx
Very beautiful! I think it can look even better with some fine print wallpapers or stencils above the plum walls 😉
Agreed! I am on the lookout for just the right thing 🌹xx
Your bedroom turned out beautifully! I love the dusty rose color of the walls and the small oval picture frames.
Thank you so much, the rose colour is the best part, I think. It really makes it! Thanks for watching 🏡 xx
I have my mom’s dresser, mirror, and vanity from early 1920s. My walls are soft lavender (Ben Moore “Porcelain”). I have Victorian artwork in ornate soft gold frames on the walls. And I created silk floral arrangements in mauve, cream, plum, and green, in consignment shop vases. I would love to put up drapes, but the double window has a radiator under it. Maybe I’ll go with draped garlands.
Oh my gosh, this sounds divine! I am very much obsessed with the idea of soft lavender and gold... I must look up this paint colour, immediately! 🌹xx
Ohhh, Nancy! It's so romantically beautiful! The color is gorgeous! I dream of owning my own place again some day and painting the walls!
Being able to be creative in my own home is just the best! When I was a renter, I had to deal with a whole lot of white, so I feel your pain 🌹xx
LOve the way this turned out. I think a dark mauve or purple throw at the end of the bed woukd make a nice statement.
Lovely!🌹xx
Beautiful room make over! Great video thanks❤️❤️
Thank you so much 🌹xx
Oh Nancy this is such a lovely room. Love this transformation so much. ❤
Thanks Susanna 🌹xx
It's absolutely gorgeous, Nancy!!!
Thanks Bonnie 🌹xx
Your room turned out beautiful. Your dog is also beautiful.
Awww isn't he just the sweetest floof? 🌹xx
Beautiful. Plum colour is a very bold one, it has to be used with great caution. However, you have an instinct for colours. It also helps that your bedroom has plenty of natural light. :)
Aha it is a bold choice indeed... I may switch back to white one day, but for now, it can stay 🌹xx
Beautiful, serene, spiritually uplifting! Thank you!🌙🐈⬛📚🫖🌌
You are so welcome 🌹xx
I find it helpful to lay each frame on to plain paper, (I use the back of Xmas paper on rolls, as this is cheap), draw around and cut out shapes. These can be arranged on the wall, (stuck on back with a bit of folded over masking tape). This can save a lot of time and holes in the walls. Looks lovely, I have similar taste so I can relate to what your wanting to achieve. Have fun searching for the right pieces. Best wishes
Such a good idea - would have saved me time for sure 🌹xx
Lovely! My mum grew honesty in our garden.
I have saved all the seeds and can't wait to see it grow 🌹xx
What a pretty picture with your sweet familiar comfy on the bed. Gorgeous bedroom💜😸
Thank you! It's the perfect witchy bedroom 🌹xx
So very lovely! You were smart to stain your dress rack and it's barely noticeable with the pretty dresses on it. Your room looks very Victorian.
Oh thank you! I was pleased with the clothes rack in the end 🌹xx
What a lovely surprise...... I just discovered your channel.
Altough I allready follow 3 lovely RUclipsrs.... I will watch now all your videos-because I was truly smitten with your channel.
As a former classical ballerina I worked all my life on stage and film-no wonder I am enchanted with your filming/story/subjects....
I also allways recommand videos to my students...and your episode" Bedroom Make Over" will bring great joy to my teenage-students...
kindest regards from Germany
Thank you so much 😊 And welcome to the channel, I'm so glad you found me! Sending much love and enchantment from Australia 🌹xx
This turned out so marvellously
Thank you so much 🌹xx
I painted my old apartment the same color as your room. At my paint shop it was called "Stone Rose". I often see that same color when I'm watching movies. I see walls that same color. It must have been a good choice 😊😊❤❤
Definitely a good choice - I just love this colour. It makes everything look so vintage and elegant ❤xx
I absolutely love this!!! The pink brownish walls are so delightful. And those frames are everything even if they were haunted haha.
Also your dog is so pretty. Loved this video 💕
Aha yes the haunted picture frames! It's always in the back of my mind when thrifting 🌹xx
The bedroom looks amazing! I just discovered your channel a few weeks ago and I'm really excited to see what you're going to do with your cottage. Your style is really beautiful and watching your videos is as calming as it is inspiring
Thank you so much 🌹xx
I absolutely love the makeover. its just beautiful.
I'm so glad you like it! Thanks for watching 🌹xx
Oh what a treat, Nancy. Enchanting - to the littlest detail.
Oh thank you so much 🌹xx
So lovely and romantic Nancy. Enjoy the well earned fruits of your labour ❤💫
Thank you! It was a big job and I'm so ready to relax now 🌹xx
Very nice bedroom design. The only thing missing is live plants. A couple parlour palms, some trailing plants at the windows or even a plant on a wall shelf would add some life and freshness to the room. Looking forward to part 2.
Oh, I totally agree, there was just the one little plant on the curiosities cabinet, and one in the ensuite, but I would love some more 🌹xx
