Considering a Bedroom Makeover

Happy Monday! The last few weekends have been so busy it was nice to have a slow relaxing one.

I have been considering a master bedroom makeover for awhile now. The bedding we have was purchased when we got married in 2010 and while I love it, I have been leaning toward changing it up. I love the look of lighter colors and since the bedroom in our apartment is small I think white bedding would help soften up the room and maybe make it seem larger. My worry is how clean white bedding would stay. I don't want to completely start over so the plan is to keep the blue hues. Here are some inspiration pictures.

What do you think of white bedding? Until next post...xoxo Becca

Redecorating and Recent Purchases

Moving to a new place makes me want to redecorate. In this case it's to keep the space light and airy. The majority of the furniture we own is dark and heavy, but with such a small space I need to change things up without breaking the bank. Here are a few recent purchases for the apartment.

Pier1
The artwork was purchased online and will be shipped to my local Pier1 for pickup. I want to add this piece to our living room above the sofa. The sofa is a dark chocolate brown and I feel the artwork we have currently does nothing to bring character (or color) to the space. Once this piece is hung I'll find fun pillows and curtains to brighten the space. Doesn't hurt this mosaic was on sale plus a coupon code brought the price down even more! I'm always looking for a good deal. Keep reading for another good deal...

I would also like to find a beautiful wingback chair to place in front of the window for added seating and a cozy feel.

Still searching for a coffee table too...this is proving more difficult than I thought it would be.

Pier1
Again, my goal is to lighten up the space and add character. I picked these woven panels to serve as decoration above our master bed since we've opted to store our headboard. I bought two panels and plan to hang them horizontally. The color is "champagne" so I may add more metallic touches with these lamps from Kirklands. If Pottery Barn ever has a sale on bedding I want to purchase this quilt in porcelain blue to break up the dark blues of our bedding. So let me know if you hear of a sale or coupon code. K? Thanks! :P

Recent purchase for myself include:

Kendra Scott  | Nordstrom | Nordstrom
I'm not one to spend a lot on something that's a fad...*cough* Kendra Scott jewelry. I think some of their pieces are gorgeous and have been gifted several pieces I love. That being said, a good friend (and loyal Lexi & Lady follower, you know who you are) told me about the 50% off discount Kendra Scott offers during your birthday month. Am I late to the party? I had no idea about this. Well, October just happens to be the hubs' birthday month so as his birthday gift to me I picked out these Alex earrings in slate. I wear a lot of black, white, and gray toned clothes so these go with a lot.

This dress is a must have! I originally tried in on as an option for the bachelorette party in New Orleans, but refused to spend $168 for it. THEN it went on sale for $100 and I couldn't pass it up. Wore it to our friends' recent wedding and felt amazing in it. Not only is it a sexy little number, but it has pockets! Thank the dress making lords...a girl could always use pockets to hold some lipgloss. Have an event coming up? Give this dress a shot. I had to size up, keep that in mind.

As previously mentioned, these Lesley boots from UGG have finally been purchased for our New York trip in December. They've arrived and fit really well. I purchased them in black since again...I wear a lot of black, white, and gray tones lol

And I'll leave you with an adorable picture of Lexi in her pumpkin shirt taken on Halloween. Hope everyone is recovering from their sugar induced comas, I know I'm struggling. Need to get back in the gym and back to clean eating. I see a lot of Juice Plus shakes in my future!


Until next post..xoxo Becca

Favorite Pin Friday | Volume 25

Welcome and happy Friday! :) Back in July I posted about selling our house (read that post here) and guess what, it's sold and we are moving next week. There is a whole back story between July and now, but I'll spare you the details. We are downsizing, so with that comes the struggle of what to keep, what to put in storage, and what to donate or sell.



I've really been leaning on Pinterest and Houzz to give me decorating inspiration. Since the rooms are small I am having to be more creative in space utilization. Here are a couple of the Pinterest finds that are fueling my creative juices. Clean spaces, light and airy colors and decor...

Favorite Pin Friday | Volume 23

"Mirror, Mirror, on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?" I'm a sucker for mirrors! If I could have them all over my home I would. There is something about having a huge mirror in the entryway or the dining room that always catches my eye. Here are some of my favorites I have run across on Pinterest.

Favorite Pin Friday | Volume 13

July...you guys, it's July! Where did January-June go?! Makes me sad how time goes by so fast. As a kid you thought school would never be out for summer and then summer flew by. Now the entire year is a blur. Are we all just too busy to enjoy each day? Who knows. Maybe that's too deep of a topic for a Friday. May revisit that in the future. Luckily, my university is observing today as a holiday so I get to enjoy a 3-day weekend with the hubs (and family and friends). I plan on soaking in every minute of it.

I find Favorite Pin Fridays inspirational, because it gives me time to share things with you I think are cool or something I want to try/do. Today is about the unorthodox idea of painting half a wall...why not use paint to create a unique element in a room? It's cheap, it's relatively easy, heck...make a party out of it! Who says you have to have chair railing in order to do a two-toned paint job? Move passed the traditional and dive into something more contemporary.

Clearly I also have an obsession with gray. I didn't realize until I dropped these photos in that 4 out of the 6 are gray tones haha Anyway...take away the idea, not the color examples. Get crazy and do fun colors, especially in children's rooms or playrooms.

Enjoy the 4th. Eat too much and don't feel guilty. You have until Labor Day to work it off ;)

Until next post...xoxo Becca
