Fresh look!

Over the weekend, I put a lot of time into my room redo. Chalon also put in quite a bit of time!  

We are getting very close to being finished but there are a few places still lacking paint. 

However, I can give you a few glimpses into what we completed this weekend! 

I'm not really a stuffed animal kind of girl.
But this pig smells like lavender and you can heat him in the microwave.
 I love him and he's not going anywhere! 

See those green walls back there? That's the not finished part! 

I still love my quilt.

This quilt was my old favorite. I still love her very much so I'm keeping her close!

I've added a little more junk to the desk shelves! 

Moved the rocking chair back in!
I want some sheers for the windows to let in some light.
So I'll be on the lookout for those!

I am really liking the it. The grey walls are so calm. They balance all the colors throughout. 

I thought this redo would take longer since I needed to find a new piece of furniture for my TV. But today I was determined to find something when I realized that I didn't need to look any further my own backyard. 

This rusty piece was a gift from a friend a few years ago. It has been in my living room, in my kitchen, in the backyard as a potting bench, and now in my bedroom! I have no idea what it's original purpose really was. When I first got it, there were casters on the bottom that I removed. Talk about multi-purpose furniture!

Room Update!

 The redo has begun! I decided to do the room in sections so that I wouldn't have to move all the furniture out and I can work on it just as I get the time to work on it. 

I started with my desk space so that would be hot to go when I need to get schoolwork completed. 

I chose grey for the walls. Specifically, I chose Skipping Rock! And I like that because I like to skip rocks! Plus it looks so calm on the walls of my room. 

I have searched far and wide but I have no before pictures of my desk area.

 But this is what it looks like now:

And at night it looks like this: 

I love the glow of the salt lamp! :) 

I still want to accessorize some more and add small details over there but I really like where we are headed so far. It feels fresh and clean... even with the room only painted halfway! 

Room Finds

 Ross and TJ Maxx did me good today with some great goodies for my new room! :)

May not take as long as I thought to round up enough to redecorate!

I also so stopped by Pier 1 and I love these... 

lovely bling mirror

happy tree painting... could probably paint on my own? 

...but they aren't as cheap as the other finds so they will have to wait! 

Quilty Goodness!

Last week I found this awesome vintage quilt on ebay for $30! 

I fell in love when I saw it!

 The patchworky goodness is awesome. 

Since buying it last week I've decided that I want to revamp my bedroom to make it a little more colorful... like the quilt.

I would describe what I want as patchworky, bohemian, colorful, and calm. 

Sound pretty to you? :) It sounds PERFECT to me!

We will see where this takes me! 

It will probably be a while since the quilt is all I have that captures what I'm going for. But I will be enjoying the quilt while I work on rounding up more pieces that complete my vision!

Today when I got the quilt in the mail, I plopped right down
on it in the kitchen and Chalon snapped my picture!

 If you know of anything that I need for my new room, let me know! 

What color do you think for the walls?
