Bedroom Decorating

We moved into a new house about 16 months ago...I have been working on decorating the whole house at once. I like to just stumble upon great things that I think will pull a room together. It will be a never ending project, but I find the best stuff when I'm not looking for anything specific.

This first picture was from last year. I had bought this beautiful new bedding that is blue and gold...it is a beautiful rich fabric. Nothing much changed until the fall.

I am participating in Metamorphosis Monday at BETWEEN NAPS ON THE PORCH...be sure to stop by there.



When I bought the blue bedding in the Spring I also found this bronze/taupe bedding with velvet trim and a few rhinestones. Again, really beautiful and on clearance...so I bought it to change things out for the winter. Even though I like things light and bright somehow when Fall is in the air I want to go darker.


The biggest change in the room came just a few weeks ago. I found this amazing wallpaper at Target of all places...on sale. It is this blue/turquoise color with metallic brushed gold trees. At the time I didn't know what I would do with it...I fell in love with it and just had it hung. I was a little afraid of hanging it in just the "bay" area of the room around the windows, but I love it. Now I don't need to do any draperies.



Just this weekend I switched my bedding back to the blue Spring/Summer look. I recovered the cushions on the chairs with a light blue velvet.

The wallpaper from Target.


A mirror I found at the Arhaus Furniture Store for half price. It is made of molded metal.

A glass plate from TJ Maxx.


This lamp I have had for many years...still love it.

A great metal pattern table I found at TJ Maxx.

I also put the wallpaper around the Jacuzzi in the master bath.
