Back With A Bang!

We have been out of the loop here for a little while, with some relatively good reason.  My husband and I found out we are expecting!  Please meet Logan.

Our little nugget is due on Thanksgiving Day - clearly God has a sense of humor! We are digesting the information as quickly as possible, but it is a tad overwhelming.  Please bare with us as we continue to blog throughout this process.  There will certainly be a large number of home projects being completed to get ready for baby!  We hope you enjoy the roller coaster with us :)

Master Bedroom Artwork

FINALLY!!!  Nearly two months later, we decided to purchase the frames from Ikea!

We will hang four of them in a square, equally-spaced, and then fill them with something - artwork, printables, or photos - we'll do that this weekend!  Jorge would very much prefer photos, so it's time to start scrolling through some photos.

Artwork Ideas

Alright, so I think I've finally figured out some ideas.  I found some inspiring ideas online, but I'm not overly attached to any of these examples.

While I really like some of these ideas, they don't really seem to take into account our slanted ceilings.  So...an idea I had was to put four decently-sized square frames together above the bed.  Most likely these frames from Ikea.

Adding the silver would be another complimentary color and texture to the room.  And the idea would be to fill them with either black and white photos or colored artwork/fabric.  This will definitely have to be a weekend activity.  Now to get the hub's on the same page...wish me luck!

Bedding Reveal

I could not be more thrilled to show you our master bedroom progress!  Even Spartacus and my husband fell in love with all of the selections...hence the dog being part of the photo shoot.

Now to figure out what kind of artwork to put on the wall and where?  I'll post some ideas tomorrow...check back and let me know what you think!

Pillows, Pillows, and More Pillows!

For some reason or another, I've always wanted my bed to look something like the beds you see when you walk into a store.  You know how they have all sorts of accents pillows and the big fluffy bedding?  Something like this:

I love all of the mixing of colors and patterns.  As you saw yesterday, we have some brighter colors coming in, but the goal of the yellow is for it to compliment the rest of the room instead of taking over.   In an effort to balance it all, we're going with the following pillows (because you know I just can't get enough of them!):

Euro Shams

Standard Pillows

Fun Shams

(these will be embroidered with mr. and mrs.)

Fun Accent Pillow

I can't wait to put the bedding together tonight and show you some photos on Thursday!

Master Bedroom Escape

We have been in our home for about two and a half years now, and for some reason we've put effort into a lot of areas, but never really focused on our own getaway.  Note to self: In the next house setup our bedroom and bathroom first so we have a relaxing retreat from the world!

Anyway, here is the evolution of our room from purchase to present day:

Purchased & Moved In

Painted & New Dressers

New Bed

Clearly our bedroom still leaves a lot to be desired.  In an effort to jazz up the space, we've ordered new bedding with COLOR!  Something that my husband is very proud of.  He is a lover of color, while I prefer the neutrals (check out our house tour to see just how much I love neutrals!).  Here are some of the items we've purchased and inspiration we've found through Pinterest and online.  Just click on the photo to go to the original location.

Happy New Year!

May this year be filled with great blessings, lots of family, and loads of fun!  God bless you and yours :)
