My quirky semi-finished-bedroom

Hi! I have been working hard on my bedroom this past weekend! It's still not finished, but it has come a long way! Like an idiot, I forgot to take the before picture! Whats wrong with me?? BUT at least you get to see how I've been working on it along the way. Sunday, I decided to rearrange our room, the room is not very large, and having a dresser, a chest, and two side tables took up a lot of space! I thought, how can I make it seem a little bigger? Hopefully Im doing it the right way! Im keeping it light and airy.
So, here's a sneak peak into my romantical chic airy bedroom :)
excuse the red clothing on the end of the bed, I just wanted to show the bed pointed towards the window. (which will be getting curtains soon)

My awesome sheets and pillows! Everyone needs to shop at Ross and Marshalls! :)
I got my lamps for $20 each, from Marshall's! Those purple pillows, $8, from Ross!
I "splurged" on my sheets, and went to Target! I have baskets on the shelves of our night stands, $7, Ross. I got my night stands from a thrift store, they were $30 each. I thought of painting them, I don't know yet, but it would be fun! 
My favorite little print. Its so fun and quirky!! My husband surprised me with it, and he got it from Earth Bound! By the way, they have the best sales on canvas'.
I added some fauxers (faux flowers, I think I just made that word up) to my lavender vase.
Here's the semi-finished top of my dresser! The vase I got from a garage sale, and the flowers were $7 from Marshalls. The boxes, that hold knick-knacks, are from my Fossil watches. I love to decorate and show off some of my favorite books, the bottom one is "The Count of Monte' Cristo". Sigh! great book.
I have two ceramic owls, I bought one from Hobby Lobby, and the other was given to me for Christmas. I decided they would be perfect book ends! 

My husband also surprised me with this birdcage, from Earth Bound! I decided to put candles inside, and a little fabric that matches the sheets on my bed! I got three, LED, candles for $6, from Ross. The fabric was actually the little pouch that held my sheets from Target! 

Ta-da! The top of our little chest! Oh, and I painted that little painting. 

So, that's my room so far. I did just buy three little, black, mirrors to put above my bed. Since we don't have a head board yet. I think it will look super cute. BTW- I got the mirrors from Marshalls, all three for $9! I love myself a good deal. Who doesn't? I can't wait to keep posting about my little house. I hope you all are enjoying the little tour. xoBritney

Quirky Note

I just wanted to write a quick note, so anybody who actually reads this knows I haven't died!!

Im very much alive.

Im working on painting my kitchen chairs a bright green color! Its taking awhile, but I cannot wait to blog about them! They are going to be super cute, and I can not wait to have that pop of color in my kitchen.
Speaking of my kitchen, the newlywed cook book I have been cooking out of has been put on hold! Me and the love of my life have decided to eat as healthy as possible!! Thankfully, my bestest bud Whitney, just bought me an awesome cook book for healthy eaters! So, I will be cooking out of that! Im making some chicken fajita burrito's tonight.

Something I'm ridiculously excited about is DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME! Whaaaaat! Im so ecstatic about warmer weather and longer days! It means more outside time! I love the way the sunshine feels, and the smell in the air, and breaking out my flip-flops every single day. It just makes me so happy. sigh.

Well, anyways, I will be blogging soon on dinner tonight, the shelf I just put up, my romantic/chic bedroom, and hopefully my awesome chairs! Check back soon!! xo Britney
