it's bath time...

not only am i working on our mystery room but i am also working on the bathroom for the mystery room and my good friend B emailed me this picture for a little inspiration... and it's quite an inspiration... it's exactly the feel i want, airy and fresh... pics to come soon...

the gallery is open

as you can see i have been working very hard in crossing of a few items on my husband's to do list (back in 08), we (he) finally got the gallery wall completed and i must say i am very impressed with his work.... you say what?

this was my inspiration... and though i didn't use as many frames or the same ones, the key was making one big square shape and keeping the frames within the square so everything has a uniformed look... the mystery room is coming along wonderfully, stay toned for pics...

one night stand

not only am i working on the mystery room but i am also working on our master bedroom as well. it's been so hard trying to decide on a night stand but i think i have narrowed it down. picture number two was my first choice, i love the elegance and simplicity of this night stand but i really wanted it to have a draw (to put my chap stick and nightly reading materials in). but once i saw night stand number one, i immediately knew it was a match, for both of us. it's more versatile. since my husband and i share an office and i was yearning for my own office, i thought the setup above would be perfect with the bench underneath. so i am heading out to the furniture store today in search of the perfect one night stand...

everyone is doing it and so am i

hello, as you can see i have been busy working on the mystery room.... and the trend these days are stripes.... so i have decided to jump on the band wagon.... i just ordered two pillowcases (pictured above) from pottery barn (they were on sale $22.99....score)! the plan for one set is to cover with a bench for the mystery room and the other set will be on the bed.... i choose stripes (not just because my good friend Brenda told me to) because i like the added pattern it brings to the room and the airy feel it gives.... plans are finally coming together and i can't wait until you see it....

keeping the beauty

is it possible to have a headboard this beautiful and continue to keep it this beautiful?

boomya...

pure genius... thinking about throwing out those old chairs that's been stuck in your garage for decades? now you have a solution to bringing them together as one cohesive group and all it cost was a can of spray paint, some incredible gorgeous fabric and a little manpower... genius, just genius

in the gray

lately i have been loving cool/cold tones but i am a warm person, promise... but there is something that just draws me to gray, i think it's the new black.... however from the pics above you can see how they have mixed gray with beige... the best of both worlds. i want a beige bedroom but now i may have to introduce some grays.... caller you say what?????
