DUMP...

I've had this color palette in my head for a while. Excuse me while I dump it out!

If it was used in a room, I'm pretty sure it would look like this

MASTER BEDROOM UPDATES

I've been very busy this week around the house. Mostly trying to figure out what my next projects are and preparing for my spring cleaning session. Also, the boys have been "demanding" more of my attention. And with the great weather we were having, I was able to give them plenty of it:

From going to the Tennessee Aquarium

To lunch at Benihana




And a picnic at the park (Don't have the pictures yet).

I believe I can get back to blogging now!

But, before the week is over, I want to update you on the Master Bedroom.

So far, I've ordered the chandelier

Purchased "another" mirror



And received heads up on a chair that may work in the room (Thanks Dayka!)


My "to do" list for this weekend includes:

Refinishing the mirror (Prime and paint)

remove fabric from the chair

sand and prime chair

possibly paint chair


With all that said, I have two questions for you. Where do you get dressed (bathroom or bedroom), and Do you spring clean?

THAT'S IT. I'M GOING BLACK!

If you've been reading this blog for a while, then you may remember when I was planning to paint my kitchen cabinets black. I like black kitchen cabinets, but many people did not see my vision.

Nice right?! Do you think that I can pull it off? Or should I stick to white? Or, should I get back to work on my bedroom and stop getting sidetracked? Let me know!

Want to see more of this kitchen like the before and during stages? Well, head over to Anything Pretty and meet Jenny and all of her DIY awesomeness!

BROWN AND YELLOW?

After a while, you guys are gonna totally think I'm nuts. No, seriously. How often do I get sidetracked by something and then go in a different direction? Here is my latest craze:

Brown & Yellow

I'm really crushing on this color combo for my bedroom "right now". I don't know if it's my new blog design (thanks Erika!), Dayka's first mood board for my bedroom (thanks Dayka), or this photo that I took after trying to see if the chairs I purchased awhile back would work in my bedroom (scale not as is!).

What are your thoughts on brown and yellow (mustard yellow)? Is it hot or not? And, is my constant changing/ sidetracking normal? I mean really, what happened to my brown and blue obsession?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NICK!

****CAUTION...TONS OF PICTURES********

Happy birthday to my sweet little Nick!


Some say he is my twin

But, I think he looks more like my dad!

see what I mean?!


He is a great little brother...

And a protective yet jealous big brother...


I guess he is ready to be a man because he always figures out a way to have facial hair (beard)

Here is his mustache...

I personally would love for him to stay my little truck and car loving Mommas boy Nick!





Sorry for the long tear jerker of a post! My baby is turning 4 and he is so excited, but I'm a little sad! Do you ever wish that your babies didn't have to grow up? I think it's the independence that's hurting the most. I'm starting to get the I got it mom. I know how to do it mom. And less of the help me mommy!

Have a great day!

THERE'S A GIVEAWAY TO BE WON!

Heads up guys, Erika of Blu Label Bungalow is having a giveaway on her blog! What is it you ask? For reaching 100 followers, Erika has decided to giveaway a custom moodboard! What is a moodboard?



This is great for those of you who have been thinking of decorating a room, but have no idea on where to start!

So head on over to Blu Label Bungalow and enter this great giveaway!

Good Luck!

T.J MAXX ROCKS!

Remember when I purchased the blue lamps for my bedroom?

Well, I didn't really like them. They were an impulse buy like a lot of the other things that I have to have! I returned them and continued my search for the perfect pair of lamps. During my week of no blogging (last week) I went into T.J Maxx and found a pair that I LOVE!

and for $29.99 they were a steal!

And for those of you who know your designers, this lamp look VERY similar to the Nola lamp from Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams


Speaking of lighting, Anne from The Loyd Collection sent me a few links to look at from my post on the chandelier (Thanks Anne!). I'm now undecided on purchasing one due to my husband texting me from work the other day saying how he really don't want a chandelier in the bedroom. I really don't know what to say. Our room does not get too hot during the summer months and personally, I don't like ceiling fans in the bedroom. So now I must do some convincing....

Have you ever had to convince your spouse into trying something new in decorating a space? If so, spill the beans on how it worked out!
