Our Retreat

I'm so excited!!  I got my bench back from being upholstered, and I LOVE it!!

It's exactly what I wanted.  I'd been looking for that burlap look without the

scratchy feel of burlap and I found it!  Here is the before pic below.

The burgundy had to go.  It was time.

Now, she has a classic neutral color, that should go with just about anything

I throw at her!

Just another look at the dresser a little updated.

Changing out the mirror really helped the room not feel so heavy anymore.

I added some plates above the picture, just because I love plates.

I would love to add a big rug in front of the bed.  We will see!

What do you think?  I would love to know!

Just a Few Changes

So, I didn't paint the furniture, but I did do a few simple changes!

~ Before ~

~ After ~

I thought the old mirror was a little dated for my taste.  I don't know about you, but I feel as

 though my taste are forever changing.  I wanted something a little more simple.

I found the mirror at Ikea for around $40.  It is a simple oval with beveled edges.  I thought if it doesn't look good, I'll just use it some where else.  The white plates are

some I had in a cabinet. I kept everything else the same on top of the dresser.

Over the bed, I had one lonely platter which needed some buddies.

So, I found 2 more plates to add to it.  I am a plate hangin' fool!!!

You got a plate, I'll find a spot and hang it!!

Love my new Pottery Barn lumbar pillow for $15!!! 

We have had this furniture for about 13 years now, and even though the man doesn't want

me too, I still secretly want to paint the dresser and end tables!  Maybe I can talk

him into it.

Found these sconces at Hobby Lobby 3 years ago.  I wish you could see the color better.

The roses are a pretty moss color.

My man gave me these roses on our 10 year wedding anniversary.  I keep everything!

That's my Homecoming Queen tiara.  Yes, I'm a dork!

The bench is off to get recovered and I can't wait to see how it turns out! 

Here I go thinking again.  I think I might want new curtains and a rug!

What do you think?
