It was time to create the next room in the Great Adventures of Mrs. P, her guest bedroom.
For those who are not familiar with Mrs. P yet, she is a fictional character Carrie and I have
created to offer a personality behind the room displays we create in The Passionate Home.
Ill offer links to the other rooms we have created at the end of this article.
While we were making up the bed with this beautiful new turquoise coverlet we learned that
Mrs. Ps eldest daughter is coming to stay for several months and is not so fond of the color.
But we know a lot of you really love the color and would really like to have it
in your bedroom. So Mrs. P has offered the Turquoise Queen Coverlet and 2 matching
pillow shams for a give away to one of the local shoppers of The Passionate Home.
All you have to do is walk into The Passionate Home located at 20506 Fraser Hwy Langley BC
and asked to be entered into the drawer for
Mrs. Ps bedding, no purchase necessary but you will have to answer a thought provoking question.
Such as ... would you like to see bedding available in the store?
Since we created the guest room in turquoise its going to fall on Mrs. P to
redecorate for her daughters upcoming visit in the shades of pink she so likes.
We are hopeful she will work with the toile curtains we fashioned with some Annie Sloan fabric.
Didnt know Annie did paint and fabric too?
When you stop in to enter for the bedding check out some of her fabrics available at the store.

I was quite shocked when I realized this birdcage was also a hanging lamp,
where does Mrs. P find these wonderfully unique things?

THE GREAT ADVENTURES OF MRS P white bedroom display
Kamis, 07 April 2016
The Passionate Home and 4 the love of WOOD have teamed up for the summer to have some fun and
to bring you a grand story told through the Passionate Home store displays and shared through 4 love
of WOODs blog and both of our Facebook pages ... The first install can be read here.
And so The Great Adventures Of Mrs. P. continue ...
Carrie and I took another adventure this week with Mrs. P.
We decided to take a look inside her drawers and create her bedroom right in the middle of the shop,
with a glimpse of her taste in beautiful clothes and classic jewellery.
Ill bet if you have been in The Passionate Home you never saw all these amazing pieces.
I didnt see them until Mrs. P stepped through the front doors.
I personally have a white rabbit living at the end of my hallway and when I see him watching over
things it makes me feel a bit child like and happy. It doesnt matter how old we
get we can still remember how good it felt to have magic in our lives as a child.
Being a figment of my imagination Mrs. P must have great taste in furniture,
and this vintage solid oak cabinet with crystal door knobs doesnt disappoint.
Let me show you a close up of the ornate top ...
Every Sunday night after dinner Mrs. P carries all her candles one by one and sets them up
in the bathroom where the water runs for her long soak in the tub.
Im usually fighting for the remote on Sunday nights, how about you Carrie?
A local artist dropped off some new items while Mrs. P was visiting and I couldnt
help but include one of their lovely pink rose book marks with her bedside reading.
As soon as you have a chance please come into The Passionate Home and check out the
new bedroom display and see if you can see Mrs. P hanging out close by.
Our summer displays will only be lasting a week or two before we set out on another adventure
to discover the life and world of Mrs. P.
Thank you for following along and keep watching for our next journey.
We dont even know where Mrs. P is taking us!

MRS Ps CRAFT ROOM store display
Kamis, 03 Maret 2016
WELCOME TO MRS. Ps CRAFT ROOM
she has jars and bottle, books and paints,
she has lavender and burlap, fabric and crates,
she has boxes and bins packed full of nice things
she works in this room the whole time while she sings ?
Im here to confess creating these rooms isnt as easy as we make it look.
Trying to define a specific room inside a larger space has its challenges,
but after struggling we have built a work space for Mrs. P to create in.

When Carrie and I started trying to create Mrs. Ps craft room inside the store
we found picking the right furniture difficult as well as the placement.
Craft rooms are a relatively new idea and something we all wish we had but
finding the space and setting it up can be daunting.
Every new home comes with an on suite, not many come with a dedicated craft room.?

| all items shown in photo avail for purchase at The Passionate Home |
Figuring out what you want to do in the space is critical to a set up that will work.
Mrs. P enjoys taking time to sit and read Annie Sloan books like this one called
Creating the French Look, so a comfortable chair is a great idea to include in the design.

| love this owl!!! |
Whether you are painting some mason jar vases, building a vintage photograph lamp shade or making
lavender satchels, you need to figure out how big your work surface should be. We have used a small
dining table and easily filled it with all sorts of things you would want to spread out while you are creating.
I brought in this French Provincial Server that I just finished to show how different pieces can be
used in different spaces. Also find fun and creative ways to store your supplies for easy access and
to keep your supplies out in the open so you can see what you have to work with.
Knowing what I have to work with helps me be even more creative.

Have you heard the news? Mrs. P has ...
The Passionate Home is going to have stencils in stock very soon!
Its the kind of stencil she will be using to create all those grain sack images on pillows,
upholstery, tea towels, furniture and anything else she can think of.
Take a cue from Mrs. P and be unconventional and surround yourself with the things you love.
