Vanity... Table

I have been in love with the thought of a vanity as my bedside table for a while now, and been keeping my eye out for the perfect piece. I have been hitting the thrift stores lately looking more for a new console for the television when I found the perfect vanity piece! Yay! Yesterday I prepped it for paint and hope to finish it up for a reveal by next week. Now I'll have to find a stool or chair to accompany my new find. I can't tell you how excited I am. Also on the furniture painting front, I have decided, after much deliberation on painting a piece of furniture I have had for some time. It's a larger piece and I'll be sure and share it with you when it's finished. 

Here are a couple of the rooms that inspired my vanity (table, hehe) quest.

Pretty Perch...

I am sure you all have seen this photo floating around the net. I sure love this little nook. And I can't seem to get it out of my head. The more I look at it the more I want to create a space like it in our master bedroom. So I am now on the hunt for the perfect piece. I already have a mirror. If I can just fine a small desk or table and a cute stool I'm in business. Our neighborhood is having a neighborhood wide garage sale this Saturday! Now you know what I'll be doing this weekend.

Have a fun weekend!

Bit Of Blue...

A little blue and black & white! What could be better? Love this space.

And isn't that a great little table?

Pop of Color...

I posted recently of my affections for these lamp shades. I took a trip to Target and left empty handed, I had to sleep on it and make sure I REALLY wanted them. You know when you come home and can't stop thinking about something, that was me. Then I came across this photo and it sealed the deal, I was going back to Target first thing in the morning to get those lamp shades.

I am really enjoying the pop of color they added to the soothing color palette in our bedroom.

Have you found anything lately that you just can't stop thinking about?

Swoon...

Yes, I love this room,

 everything about it. 

All of the colors are speaking to me. 

Have you seen the new Liberty of London line at Target. I am really falling in love with this lamp.

Have a lovely Monday ya'll!

A Little Peek...

Hi there everyone! I hope you are all having a great week. I thought today I might share with you the new comforter I found on a trip to TJ Maxx a few weeks ago. I have been wanting a white comforter for some time, but wanted it to have some kind of texture to it. Then I saw this! Target and West Elm have had a similar sets. What I like about this one verses the other versions is little nubby square detailing.

The shams I purchased separately from Target. I love how they work with the bedding and my headboard. 

Chic...

I pretty much love everything about this photo...

Yep...

everything.

Bedroom Inspiration...

I am loving this soothing combination of colors. Has me craving a bedroom makeover.

Monday Motivation...

Monday Motivation...

I look around the house and see so many projects that need my attention. But with 3 small children to keep me busy, those projects are on hold. That is until I feel like staying up all night to paint trim. One of the items on my list. For some reason trim work intimidates me. I'll paint anything else, but when I think about all of that trim my hand starts to cramp. So for now I'll just swoon over these lovely images. Hope you all have a wonderful start to your week!

Happy Monday!

Upholstered Headboards...

With upholstered headboards all the rage, I admit I to have fallen in love with them. Last December I gave the DIY headboard a try, and have been enjoying having the softness it brings to the room.

But...

I am getting bored. Imagine that! I am craving some pattern. Like these lovelies...

Inspiration...

Perfection. 

Mirrored screens in the corners, art headboard, the trunk, the console table at the end of the bed, the end tables...

I just love this room

What I've Been Up To...

Well it's about time that I finished above the "sitting area" in our master bedroom. The anniversary pics we had taken mixed with a few homemade art pieces, one that reads "you and I". Finishing this corner just puts that last little touch on that area. 

Feeling like my entry way was missing something I went treasure hunting, in my own house. When Josh and I got married my great aunt painted us this light house picture. I had it up until a couple of months ago, when I took it down with plans to move it somewhere else but, had been storing it. I got it back out and set it up on the entry table along with a few other photos and a frame I had recently picked up. The frame on the painted art and the new frame were both gold. I had actually purchased the smaller gold frame with plans to paint it, but when I set it up with the other gold frame it seemed to make the whole set up make sense. So here is how she stands now. I know the one side is still a little scarce, but I'm working on it. 

Beautiful Bedroom...

Suzie over at Decor Pad has a stunning bedroom. I just had to post this beautiful room. I love everything about it. The art panels as a headboard, the mirrored doors and the white linens with those beautiful bolster pillows. So chic! :)

SSSHHH It's A Secret...

Remember this lil sitting area in the master bedroom?

I thought I might let you in on a small space secret going on in our house. Since we purchased this 3 bedroom home not expecting to have twins we had to get a little creative as to how we would sleep everyone. And using one of the bedrooms as a home office for my husbands biz, that leaves us with two bedrooms. So when thinking of where we would put Rhett, the only logical place was in our bedroom. But I did not want a toddler bed stuffed in the corner of our bedroom.  I am anal when it comes to things being just so. So when I started looking for other options  for his bed I came across this sleeper loveseat. So at night we fold this out and it's his bed, in day time it's folded up and the room looks put together. With no one being the wiser.

Small space big style! That's what I'm after!

Finally Master Bedroom....

After getting a new comforter by accident, and just all together ready for a bedroom spruce up the finishing results are in. I upholstered my own headboard back in December using some great online tutorials and a velvet curtain for the fabric. I love how it turned out. I feel like I am in a swanky place that isn't mine. I had planned on having matching end tables on either side of the bed, but had a bit of a tweek in my plan. Now each side has it's own personality and I am really happy with it. Having the steel blue curtains really gives the room a serene environment. The mirrors, lamps and tulip style table I picked up at Target. (my fav store) With three kids always in toe there aren't to many other places I venture out to on a regular basis. And why when Target is so great. 

The story on this side table: I ordered them from Ikea and when I received them and got them put together they were way to low. I knew that they would be on the shorter side but thought it might still work. Not even close. So my fix was to attach the two boxes together. Because I loved the look of the tables so much I hated to send them back. Once I got the two boxes attached together it was perfect. Bonus for me I get more storage. Below is what it looks like with the two tables attached together and below that is the  original version. 

This is the hubs side of the bed. I love this table and was really excited when I realized I could incorporate  it into our room . Plus he doesn't need the storage space on his side like I do for all of my stuff!

Last but not least is our lil sitting area. I am still working on that frame above. I am going to paint the frame black. Right now I have some paintable wall paper unpainted in the frame. But am thinking I will paint it my accent color of steel blue. Your thoughts?

Here is a closer shot of the framed piece. 

More Bedroom On The Brain...

That's right perusing the bedroom decor again. I just love this bed. What a neat shape. This one happens to be of the bedding we just got. Why did I get to get new bedding besides the fact that I just wanted some. Well it is a story involving Jude, some poo, and an important phone call my husband just had to take in the other room. Are you getting my drift! So YAY for me I got some pretty bedding! I love the tranquility of this room so soothing!

Bedroom Mood...

My master bedroom has always been a mishmash of things. So I thought I might start brainstorming on a few things I might like to have come make a permanent stay in this room. Starting with a soothing grayish wall color. Possibly a blue-grey headboard. I do have a charcoal grey love seat that will be staying. Besides that, it will be a total overhaul. What are your thoughts?

Inspiration...

A few new really lovely pics I found about randomly. I have had some master bedroom color schemes swimming in my head, just haven't gotten it all worked out yet. I would love to give that room a bit of a tweak, or a whole makeover wouldn't be bad either. Until then here is some eye candy.
