Gary and I have lived in our current home now for 2 years and 2 months, there had been new carpet installed by the previous owners to give the house a fresh look when we purchased the home, but it did not last the padding went flat and the carpet wore out you could see walk paths and when I would walk on the threshold I could feel nails poking my tender little feet! (it hurt) so Gary and I decided it was time to upgrade the bedroom carpets.
We choose Posh Origins in Pineapple by Mohawk with a thick padding. It is so soft and comfy to walk on I love it! the color is so pretty I think. Its like a warm butter yellow. Our bedroom walls are painted a light soft yellow. We are surrounded by sunshine!
Recently the ceiling fan went out, just plain old gave out on us one very hot day in June!!! wouldn't ya know it.. anyway the very next day we ran out and purchased a new ceiling fan for the bedroom. It gets hot in the central valley were we live and a ceiling fan is a must or we would be running the air conditioner all night and boy would be have a BIG electric bill!
While hanging up my cloths back into the closet I noticed my rain coat matched the soft yellow wing back chair and the pineapple carpet.
I think I (we) have a thing for yellow lately. Our new kitchen appliances are yellow and
Gary and I just had our house painted, the painter finished up last week and guess what? yep we choose yellow for the base color of the body, white for the trim and a royal blue door. I will show you later in another post how the new house color looks also the other two bedrooms new carpet. There is nothing like new soft carpet under your feet when you get up in the morning...
I hope your week is restful and your hearts are at peace.

Everything looks beautiful! I really like the pineapple color you chose.

Ohhhh, I love it! Yes, I think you are a red and yellow gal through and through. I'll be eager to see the house with that blue door you're discussing!
It is the perfect color! Your bedroom looks wonderful with the red and yellows. So cheerful. I love carpet in bedrooms too.
Oh wow Elizabeth, everything looks beautiful. I absolutely LOVE your quilt, and your tea cup collection is amazing!! I have the same Russian Teapot that my sweet hubby gave me for Christmas one year. Your display is perfect.
My dear Elizabeth,
your bedroom is stunning, and so is that quilt you made. What a delight to spot my photograph of the English Cottage on the wall!
Sending love and big hugs,

Beautiful...boy you have some gorgeous cups....loved the tour!
Oh, how beautiful. I love the colors you choose. And your tea cup display. . .Oh My! Gorgeous. I love visiting your blog, your home is so cozy and cute. Thanks for sharing. Hugs, Karie
I love the red in the room and your cabinet is striking!
This is SUPER!!! Love it! Want it!
greetings from Holland,

Elizabeth, the butter yellow carpet coupled with the red accents in the room look so cheerful. I must tell you my heart skipped a beat when I noticed the quilt hanging on the wall. I read through some of your earlier posts to find out more. So fortunate you were able to rescue it and have the water damage repaired. It is indeed very special and someone put a lot of work into that piece of art.

Looks restful and inviting. Yellow is a great color--happy, happy happy!

I love a soft yello or a soft peach. Most of my walls are painted in a tea light.....which is a soft yellow. It goes with everything and is a happy color.
Your bedroom is so beautiful.
Elizabeth I love the soft yellow color of the walls and the new carpeting. It looks really nice together. Your tea cup collection is out of this world beautiful.
Love the quilt on your bed. You have a gorgeous teacup collection and I really like its location! Decorating never ends! Happy Tea Day!
Dearest Elizabeth and Gary,
You have tackles quite a task! Looks very cozy and matches nicely together. We changed our wool/cotton bedroom carpet in 2007 when I had to use the pump spray for my asthma... Now walking on solid oak planks is not cold at all I must say. I still use cotton rugs alongside the bed and behind the bed and in front of the French door to the balcony.
Don't those things ONLY break down during summer heat? We run also fans but our air conditioning stays on day and night but with a setting on 78°F. Never high energy bills though. It cost more energy for starting back up once you turn it off and besides, the air conditioning does de-humidify the air. A feature that is very important for our health! But I guess a lot of people don't realize that dual function.
Enjoy your almost new home and have a great summer.
Love to you both,
Mariette
Hi Elizabeth,
It's wonderful to have you join me for tea today. {I fixed your link for you.}
I love your soft yellow in the bedroom. We have yellow in ours too but only on the walls. Pretty pops of red everywhere too. A very charming bedroom you have. And I like your teacup collection! I see you collect footed teacups as well as regular ones.
Thank you for sharing this with us at Tea Time and have a fabulous week.
Blessings,
Sandi
You have many beautiful teacups - love your hutch! I love your master BR too. It's beautiful and I'm sure you're enjoying your new carpet. It's really lovely. Don't you just love walking barefoot on thick, plush carpet?
I love the way you used red accents with the pineapple carpet. Very pretty!
This room is so lovely it makes me want to squeal with delight. I LOVE the red/yellow combinations and all the different textures and patterns. Where did you get your fabrics for your drapes and bench? I've been looking for fabric JUST like it!
I love the yellow!! Your right it is like sunshine!!
What a lovely bedroom, the yellow is so refreshing, we have a soft creamy on our walls and love it. Have yellow wall in our kitchen with red. Your tea cup collection is beautiful, I studied them all, pretty blue tea pot. Very enjoyable post. Like to see your yellow appliances or did I read write? Thank you for sharing...
Oh Elizabeth, it's all so very lovely. I loved it all but especially the drapes. The color combo is great too! Thanks for sharing
I absolutely looove your bedroom, Elizabeth. I could move in there and feel at home. Your new Pineapple carpet just makes it so cozy. I am a fan of yellow too. Can't have too much sunshine.
You have a wonderful teacup collection and found just the perfect way to display it. Love that it reminds you of good times with your sis.
HI Elizabeth! OH, your bedroom is so beautiful. Love your pretty new carpet and it sounds so plush. I love how your bed looks and that quilt is gorgeous! Love your little sitting area and your cabinet filled with your pretties looks fantastic! :)
I'm sure you love retiring at night to this most gorgeous room.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Yellow is such a happy and restful color! Love your new carpet!! Your rooms are so pretty, Elizabeth. A pretty home that you both have made over the past few years. One to be very proud of indeed.
much love,
b.
That carpet does look like it would be cozy underfoot. We don't have a headboard either. I just framed an Indian quilt and put it behind the bed as an accent. What a huge collection of tea cups you have. So very pretty! Wishing you a lovely week. Tammy
I first view this post on my iPhone but I couldn't wait to get on my laptop because I knew I would leave a long comment. I love your bedroom! Everything is just beautiful and your new carpet tops it all off. Like you we have light buttery cream walls and a light carpet in our bedroom. Ours is blue room but I love the touches of red in your bedroom. Those two gorgeous quilts you made, the red checkered bench (love, love it!), the red curtains and your dreamy wingback yellow chair. Be still my beating heart. And your teacup collection is fantastic. How many do you have? Lots more than me. You must have had such fun shopping for teacups with your dear sister. My eye was drawn to the blue and white teapot. It's a beauty. I'm looking forward to see what you do for a headboard. Wouldn't it be grand to have a quilted headboard made out of one of your quilts! Thanks for sharing your lovely bedroom with us Elizabeth. I bet Gary loves it too!
It all looks so wonderful, I love the pale yellow carpet. So different and I like that...your wing back chair looks lovely too..and I really love your cabinet with the tea cups So beautiful...the colors in your bedroom are great...I love the red blue and yellow nice post ty have a great day with love Janice

You have so many gorgeous tea cups and saucers...What an amazing collection!
I can imagine that spending time in your lovely bedroom is so relaxing...so peaceful!

So lovely and cozy, Elizabeth! Your home is just so pretty and inviting! You do a beautiful job of making it wonderful!

Elizabeth! I actually gasped when your page opened.. Your room is soooo yummy and I love your new carpet. My Mum had a ton of teacups too and I already had some so I have quite a lot going on here too. Now I can't remember who's were who's.
Great job chickie!
xoxo

Hello Elizabeth,
The new carpet is really lovely! And the bedroom is so pretty especially the quilt on the bed.
I love your sitting area and collection of teacups. They are all so special with dear memories.
Always a joy stopping by to visit!
Oh Elizabeth,
You have me ooohing and aaaahing. Love the new carpet and love, love, love the comfy little nook. Your bedroom is just lovely. Love it. Hope your summer days aren't too, too hot.
Much love,
❤Ana
What a beautiful room you've created. Your new carpet color is very pretty.
You have a very pretty bedroom, I love the colours, so cheerful and peaceful looking. I also use a chenille spread in the summer time.
Yellow is such a gorgeous colour, you can't really go wrong with it, so good for you!
Hugs, cindy
Such a pretty bedroom! Love the entire color scheme and how the pineapple carpet compliments it! The sign above your bed? So sweet:)

Hi Elizabeth and Gary! Your bedroom is so pretty! So happy to have found you and your lovely blog in here and so nice to sleep in that bed. :)

I love the china! Where did you get all of those? They suit well the room. Also, the bedroom idea is quite new to me. The accents, colors and all that. Keep it up, it's nice!
I love the red in the room and your cabinet is striking!
The walls and fabrics compliments each other colors.
Your bedroom looks posh and glamorous, Elizabeth. It sure is colorful. How I wish I could lie down on your new pineapple carpet for a moment to feel its softness. :P Congratulations on having a new carpet, by the way. I commend your color choice. Light yellow clears one's mind, and plus, it also symbolizes freshness.
I suddenly remember my grandparents after seeing these pictures. Haha. That’s because it appears to me that your bedrooms are quite the same, from the bed position and the cabinets to the lamps and the carpet. In fact, the color of your carpet is quite similar to the one at my grandparents’ home. Oh well, I have to mention that their carpet has been there for about ten years now, and it’s still in good condition. My grandma really knows how to maintain it. I hope yours will also last a long time!
Your carpet has a good color, Elizabeth and Garry. The carpet certainly looked clean and cute. Pineapple is my favorite fruit, by the way. :) Your addiction with special tea cups reminds me of my grandaunt who likes collecting teacups.
“Pineapple carpet.....its so lush and oh so soft you can lay down on it and wave your arms up and down and make a snow angel in it” Aww. I can almost feel how soft it is! I bet you often lie down on your carpet, so I suggest keep it clean always. Vacuum it once or twice a week to prevent it from accumulating dirt.
Giovanni Benedict
Wow! That is a beautiful bedroom! And great teacup collection displays! I love the way everything is arranged. You know what, I love having carpets with that texture at home. I can lie down everywhere while I daydream!
Jackelyn Lippard
Wow! Your bedroom looks so cozy! With that carpet on, I can lie down on the floor and sleep whenever I can! Carpets also make a good insulator which keeps the room warm on winter, Good choice!
-Pete Henderson
Am just amazed with the beautiful pineapple theme carpet, so simple - yet elegant! The floor looks great!
