“I’m wearying to escape into that glorious world, and to be always there: not seeing it dimly through tears, and yearning for it through the walls of an aching heart.” – Emily Brontë

Hello wildflowers! Welcome back to Belladonna Cottage for this extreme bedroom makeover, where I share how I transformed my plain white room into a Moody Victorian / Romantic Academia dream for less than $500. Think Mary Shelley, Stoker, Keats, Poe and the Brontë sisters, with a little Marie Antionette thrown in! In terms of aesthetic, it gives me antique cottagecore, elegant vampire vibes, and I absolutely love it! I hope you will love the transformation too...

    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.

    "Would Mary Shelley have listened to ABBA?" Ha! I tove this! I think we need some WWMSD (What Would Mary Shelley Do?) tee shirts now!
  • @alexisverrett9124
    Love watching your magical journey to complete the Witches Cottage it’s so whimsical and lovely❤
  • @alyssiakirkhart
    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.

    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! 😂
  • @lianapalumbo8457
    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 💜🖤
  • 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
  • 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.

    A Boudoir to dream for! This was well done with thought, patience and skill. Love it, Nancy 💜🐶🔨
  • @treehugnhipi3765
    The room is simply delightful…almost as much as your poetic commentary. ❤
  • @alisonkemper6135
    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!

    Can't wait to see this! I'm still recovering from the heart attack and videos like this are very soothing and very calming!
  • @rdlewis3616
    Your dog is so cute, moving her eyes to follow you while staying comfy on the bed.
  • @sylvain123
