Guest Bedroom Update

BEFORE:
This is embarrassing, but honest. So here it so goes. This was our guest bedroom for over a year. I realized just as we started to tape the walls to paint that we needed some before shots. So here they are. Ew. Builder’s beige. No duvet. Nothing on the walls. No words.

AFTER:

Well its definitely not done, but this is my guest bedroom so far. You saw where we started, so as you can imagine, I am really happy with the transformation.

(the light fixture casts this amazing textured light on the walls and ceiling)


(I still really want to get a new nightstand, any ideas?)


(The life saving Ikea Expedit shelves)


(The texture I was referring to. I also dreamed of this light fixture for years and finally had a spot for it. Its amazing as I imagined.)

I still need something for above the bed and a new nightstand, but we are getting there! Yay for making progress. Its very slow going around our place, but when it happens, it makes me very happy!


Valentines Day Pressies

With Valentines day just a little under two weeks away I wanted to post some of my top jewelry picks. Here’s the thing, some girls think that always getting jewelry gets boring… not me. I always like jewelry. But lets face it, Valentines Day is a made up holiday (writing it sort of makes me believe it…) so here are some jewelry pieces all under $200. For the guy whose not looking for diamonds, but still wants to find something special.

Heart Ring (so dainty and delicate), Green Earrings (a la Kyle Richards), YSL ring (have it in green, but pink is a necessity), JCrew Necklace (wouldnt it just look perfect with ANY outfit?), Kendra Scott Studs (of course) and Bow Bracelet (Kate Spade, since when are you so cute?)

My idea… leave this open on your computer screen for the boy to find. Or better yet? Get one of these goodies for yourself! Which is your favorite? I can’t decide…
