The New Bed

November 3, 2017

The New Bed

So here it is.

The bed I think I maybe might be regretting.  And I suppose if you think you’re regretting something, than you probably are regretting something, so… there’s that.

It’s not the bed’s fault – it’s a perfectly beautiful bed.

It’s pretty. It’s unique. It’s well-made.  It’s sturdy.

Casual Summer Living Room

Casual Summer Living Room

“Be faithful to your own taste because nothing you really like is ever out of style.” – Billy Baldwin

What comes to mind when you think of summer?

My mind usually goes straight to the lake first – I am a Michigan girl after all. Sandy beaches, dark blue water, lush green grass, beautiful sunsets.  But even more than that it’s the feeling of long slow days, dinners cooked on the grill, backyard conversations around a bonfire, and not taking anything in life too seriously.

That’s how I wanted my house to feel too.  Casual, not overdone, slightly unpolished.

And neutral, neutral, neutral.

Shocking.  I know.

I just can’t help myself.

New Curtains for the Dining Room

New Curtains for the Dining Room

I really hate shopping for curtains.

There is just simply nothing about it I enjoy.

They’re expensive.

If I find a pattern or color I like, I hate the material.

If I find a material I like, I hate the pattern or color.

They’re expensive.

No matter where I’m shopping, they always seem to be one panel short of however many I need.

Oh, and did I mention they’re expensive?

So yeah.  Not my favorite part of outfitting a home.

Linen Curtains and Woven Shades for the Master Bedroom

Linen Curtains and Woven Shades for the Master Bedroom

Hello and Happy Monday!

Did you all have a nice weekend?

We had such a beautiful, sunny weekend here (the second in a row – feels like a record!) – the trees are all in bloom, tulips are popping up in the backyard, and it’s just been so nice to have a break from all the rain and cloudy skies we’ve had for what seemed like months.

I shared last week that I made a little progress in giving the master bedroom a facelift. Aside from a new paint color (check!), and a new bed (still in the works), one of the other MUST do’s to get our master bedroom looking the way I have been wanting was to replace the drapes.

I hated those drapes.

Pretty much from day one I hated those drapes.

So why did I ever buy them?
