Wiry Lighting {DIY}




I found these wiry chandeliers today on etsy.
They are so simple they would all go great with my new
room. They range from about $60
to $150 in the esty shop, which is not bad for lighting
but some how or another I think these would be fun and
somewhat easy to make...
What do you think?

Pillow {new project}


I found this little guy on etsy today.
I am looking to put a small amout of yellow in my room
as well as add some more ruffles and texture.
I love the colors on this one.

I am thinking of doing my own take on this pillow and
making two large shams out of linen in the same grey and yellow.
Two big yellow flowers would make me really happy.

Your thoughts/suggestions?

Makeover {the bedroom.}

Ah... At last, the painting is complete!

This weekend I finished painting my bed and dresser and OH the difference it has made. (Keep in mind my dresser was white with a dark brown stain coating and my bed a "rickrack red"- or as it turned out, a more-so hot pink.)
For my dresser i chose Neutral Grey by Ralph Lauren and my bed, Marble by Ralph Lauren.
It looks very clean and polished. I would post pictures but I am still lacking in appropriate bedding and decor.
However, my window panels from Ikea are to be hung soon thanks to Rachel from the Meet the J.Rays.

I would love to find some cool lighting for my room for as of now i am
working with only one lamp that sits on my dresser.

Any suggestions?

Garth Brooks

So recently i have been adding items to my collection of goodies for my room makeover. That has been really fun. I normally splurge on clothes and clothes only, but finding stuff for my room to make it more comfortable and chic is quite satisfying.
Last Sunday night i was having one of those "for absolutely no reason" meltdowns trying to get ready for church. I had "nothing to wear." (I have everything imaginable but just not that night.) I pulled out my MacBook and opened up iTunes to a random playlist while i got ready.

This is how i get dressed.

And if you saw me Sunday night, No- I did not listen to Garth Brooks. Yes, i did wear cowboy boots but if you know me well, you know that i am quite the boot-a-holic. My song for the night? Icky Thump by The White Stripes.
