Oh Pinterest, where would I be without you today?
Let's see...I'd probably be at the gym working off that XL piece of cheesy corn bread I consumed AFTER I had already finished my entire lunch. Maybe I'd be up cooking dinner for the huz like a good wife and possibly even cleaning the house and doing laundry. But then again that would make me far more productive than I choose to be these days so let the pinning commence!
{Shameless plug but if you're not following me on Pinterest, you really aren't living.}

Back to business...
My first round of Pinspiration for the Home was focused on the overall look and feel of our new house: cedar, limestone, bronze...downright rustic and home-y. (Let's not forget the collection of dead animals we'll also have hanging from the walls...)
When furnishing a new home, it's only fair that you start with your kitchen and your bedroom. (I say this like I actually know how to furnish a house...let's be honest...I know nothing) While you can only do so much with a kitchen, one of my absolute favorite things to decorate is our room and I feel like your furniture, bedding and decor really sets the tone. I've always been a dark furniture kind of girl but here lately I'm really trying to channel my inner Paula Deen/Pottery Barn with our bedroom in this house: worn, light color tones & chic.
Enter my newest obsession: putting together the perfect bedroom.
I think I squealed when I came across this beauty!
That headboard is absolutely heavenly. {via}
Ralph Lauren Villa Martine Bedding Collection. SWOOOON!
It's even lined with twine. Seriously-get in my bedroom! {Via}
Loving this beauty from JCPenney. Whoda thunk?! {Via}
I never thought I'd see myself with a bedroom in these colors but it's so light and fresh
and who the heck doesn't love coral? {Via}
Looks like Martha was doing some good when she was in the pin because
this, my friends, is GORGEOUS. {Via}
And what is there to not love about this?
Please note the ceiling, the headboard and the burlap pillows. Amazing.
Burlap lamp shades...duh. {Via}
THE perfect curtain...
And obviously we won't be having a desk in our bedroom but I stumbled upon this Paula Deen beauty and had to include it in today's post. (Did you know she actually has an incredible furniture line?!)
Now if I could just plant a few money trees, I could go out and actually purchase all these things. Anyone know how to go about doing that? ;)
Im in LOVE with that headboard!!

ReplyDeleteLove the white head board! I actually posted the coral bedding today as well! I love it! I also love the burlap lamp/curtains! I love anything burlap, kust pinned a burlap flower wreath!
ReplyDeleteYou should just fly me in and out of TX during this whole decorating thing so your twinny (ahem, me) can make decisions with you. Jk. I have NO DOUBT that you will make it beautiful in no time :) I do like Ralph Lauren collection the best out of all those though and it totally screams SHJK.

ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend, Girlie!
We just purchased a paula deen entertainment center and coffee table and side table and I LOVE them. Thinking of adding the bar to our dining room as well. I love all her pieces. And of course we got them in the antique white.
