Mastering the Bedroom

When you get married you have blend styles so that you can have a room that makes you both happy. We already had the bedding so it was simple with deciding on the color scheme for our bedroom. We painted three walls gray and one wall purple. We still are in need of a bed frame and we are also looking into getting a new mattress. We are saving for both a frame and mattress. Hopefully we wont have too much longer until we can get these, we are looking at a frame from Ikea that is just like the one I already have in the guest room. The canvases I painted myself so that we would have art that would match the comforter. We have since bought two matching lamps on sale from Target, so that the lamp in the photo can be put back into the guest room. There is still some cleaning that needs to be done and A is sleeping so maybe I will get some more photos of the master tomorrow.
I have always been blessed to have been taught some sense of design I thank my favorite aunt. Who also changes her homes so much that she gets rid of amazing things like the star mirror above. When she gets rid of stuff that she knows I love she offers them to me for my favorite yard sale price of a hug. Yes we were that kind of family, but when decorating your home it makes it a lot cheaper.

Dining for two

The dining room problem with curtains was easily remedied when A and I went shopping at our favorite store Tar-jay. They were even picked out by A and go with the blue green color scheme we have for the living room and dining room. It is amazing how simple it is to change the feel of a room by adding curtains. I think the next thing for the dining room is a rug but we are very picky when it comes to rugs and it may take us awhile for us to find it. Now if only we could actually eat meals at the dining room table!

Hall for the Ages

Growing up we always had a wall of family photos so after A and I got married I decided to do the same in our new apartment. As with my aunts home, my apartment will never be finished. There are so many projects that need to be worked on that it will never be completely finished.I am looking for more art to hang on the wall. Hopefully with something with metal to match some of the other art in the rest of the home. I had many goals in decorating this apartment I wanted a cohesive and homey look, but also a look that could grow as our moods change or in the future when our family may grow.

The hallway is one of my favorite parts of the apartment because it creates and entry way when you walk in. Not only does it create an entry way but many people decide to decorate a hallway with photos, when I visit other homes I am constantly look at the photos that they display. Photos that are displayed can show us how much a person has changed to different adventures they may go on. It is a slight insight to their lives. A hallway was unquestionably missing at our old apartment and the flow of the room definitely suffered. Thank goodness we decided to move when we did!!
