Little Sister's Big Girl Bedroom Reveal

Hi everyone,

I hope your week has been great! Once again I spent the week putting the finishing touches on Jordan's room. I can now say it is finally done.... thankfully. This makeover was relatively budget friendly, exception being the purchase of the frame and mattress.
Jordan loves her new room, especially one of her favorite dresses, now to small for her, but is used as an accessory on the wall. I toyed with the idea of framing it, but knew it would compete with the windows above.

I just finished completing these panels, with a blue/gray linen fabric purchased from Joanns' with a 40% off coupon. The wing upholstered chair, my toughest DIY to date, is nestled in a corner, with a linen pillow I pulled together a few weeks ago. The quilt, her grandmother sewed several years ago and I can't quite depart with. The art work I completed a few days ago, too.

The dresser was previously in her other room, I just painted a mirror I had on hand and added a little fluff.

I purchased all the bedding at target in the shabby chic section. I love the trendy fabric with the traditional shabby chic!

A view of the other side of the bed.

A wooden artwork I stenciled with gray and yellow oil paint. Her birth date is stenciled in the corner and difficult to read. I couldn't find the right angle to photograph.

The artwork I painted using left over paint and I used chalkboard paint underneath. I know to some it may look undone, but I kind of like the less formal straight line look.

So there it is...the finished bedroom. Now to tackle the MESS behind that door!

Thanks so much for viewing this blog. Please let me know what you all think...I do love to read all your sweet comments.

Enjoy your weekend!!

XOXO

Serene Master Bedroom

Readers,

Thought I would share with you our master bedroom. We wanted to create a space that was not too feminine, that would appeal to both my husband and myself. I think we created the perfect balance, linen panels, spode plates on the wall, hint of yellow on down floral comforter for me and the dark woods and leather upholstered headboard for my lovely better half. This room is a haven for us, we love to retire here at the end of a busy day.
Thanks for visiting...I hope you visit again soon.

XOXO

Damask Pillows. Found the fabric at Lewis and Sharon

Sewed these pillows, linen curtains and Damask pillows.

Found this lovely, comfy down comforter at Macy's on Clearance a few years ago.

Sarah Richardson - Everything she touches turns to Gold

Readers,

I personally adore Sarah Richardson's work. Her shows on television are equally appealing to me, her cute personality and her side kick Tommy make quite a pair and are fun to watch, but her eye for design is so impressive and unique. Her use of mixing cherished pricey pieces and finding bargains that need a little TLC create a nice balance in a room and make her rooms appeal livable and doable to the average homeowner. To me, she is one talented lady. Here is some of her work.

Thanks for reading this blog and have a lovely weekend.
