Duvet Covers

I’m on the search for some bedding for my room and this is hard work I tell ya! I’ve found a few potentials the only problem is that they are completely different! I need your help so go ahead a pick your favorite.

First up is the Vanessa bedding from Pottery Barn. I love the print and the colors.

I’m slightly worried that it will be too busy with my faux brick wall. This type of print kinda needs to be the center of attention.

My other option is the Striped Duvet Cover from West Elm. I love the simplicity of this bedding.

So which one is your favorite? Do you have “secret spots” where you shop for bedding?

Wicker Chairs

Don’t run and hide…. I promise I’ve not lost my mind! We have a really cute consignment store that I stop/drive by every now and then. The other day they had an outdoor table set that had these “to die for” wicker/rattan chairs. I know I know… wicker really?

When I hear the word wicker this is the image that pops up in my mind

and I pretty much want to crawl into a corner and hide. Ha ha no really. Its great and all just not my style.

These “to die for” chairs were A-H-MAZING! I only needed two of the four chairs and assumed they probably wouldn’t sell them separate. I walked away. Ya know when you walk away from something and you just CANT stop thinking about it? That’s how I was with these chairs. I let the thought sit for a few days and I caved in. I called to see if they would sell me just two of the chairs and….. they were SOLD!!!!

I’ve searched for a picture of what they looked like but I can’t find the exact chair. They were a pretty good mix between these two though and I planned on using them in my living room.

DIY Home Projects

Oh gosh! I’m so sorry I’ve been MIA lately! I’ve been busy with every day life events and haven’t found much time for projects or blogging. So sorry! I’m still slaving away in my bedroom. I have a little sneak peak of my faux brick wall for you! Its a little teeny portion of the wall… I don’t want to spoil the reveal ;) I promise to share my tips and tricks with you as soon as its finished! I was inspired by Brooke’s faux brick wall and I’m using her tips, just adding a little as a I go.

I was out and about shopping the other day and I found these awesome moss balls at Rod Works, love them! They add a perfect splash of green to my media center.

Master Bedroom Update

Sorry I’ve been MIA lately. I’m slaving away in my bedroom trying to get it finished.  All of the molding is up and waiting to be painted/touched up. I’m also working on creating a faux brick wall. Its gonna take me a little while but I hope to have it finished soon. This is my inspirational picture and what I hope my wall turns out like!

I’ve also slightly changed my original plan for my bed. I’ve seen several tutorials on how to build/upholster your own headboard. That was my original plan until I found a great headboard for only $80. It will give me the exact look that I want and I wont have to build it, BONUS! I still plan to reupholster it I just need to decided how.

The New Headboard

Here are my Options:

1. Painted/Stained with a Pintucked Center

:: source ::

2.Upholstered with Nail Head Trim

:: source ::

3. Upholstered with Nail Head Trim and Pintucked

:: source ::

I’m leaning towards option 2 but don’t let that waver your opinion. For now please be patient with me and my lack of posting! I promise it will be worth it :)
