I am back with a bedroom update

My blog renovation took a bit longer due to a virus on our computer. As soon as I got the first part finished, we had to bring our computer in to get fixed. Now that I am back I thought I would give you a tiny look at the progress in my bedroom. As you will see I decided on a completely different color scheme, and I am loving it so far. I still have small details left, that is why I am unable to show the entire finished product. Enjoy!
I will do a "bedding" breakdown when I show you the finished product.



I picked this lamp up at a thrift shop for a couple bucks, spray painted it, and now am looking for a lamp shade.


This dresser was supposed to be painted red, but got a beautiful blue makeover instead.

Blog renovation in progress

I am working on changing the name of my blog. When I started it, I was not feeling my creative juices flowing. I am still not sure they are at their best, but I do feel a small bit of inspiration. I am good at decorating bookshelves, dressers, and walls, but when it comes to decorating a blog I am lost. I am definitely not gifted in the technology realm. For the sake of this blog, I am ready and willing to learn. I will be seeking the help of my youngest sister who is very good at this computer stuff. Please stay tuned, there may be more changes than the name and look. I am going to bring back the "decorating tip of the week" section. I have had a few people say they missed it. If you have any suggestions for me or places to find cute blog ideas please shoot me an email or comment. Thanks for checking in.

Bedroom update and a few extras

It seems like eternity since I have posted. Do not fear, I have been hard at work here. A few posts ago I told you my plans for my bedroom redo. The plans took a completely differently path, but it is almost finished. In the midst of the redo I decided to paint two of my lamps that I had in the basement. I love the way they turned out.





I also decided to paint some sticks to go on my table. I cut a few branches off a tree from the backyard, and sprayed them the same color as the lamps.




I have had two consultations. One of them was a large basement room. The homeowner was going to work slowly on the room so those pictures may not come until the end of the summer. The other consultation I did was two teen boy rooms and a bathroom. The teen boy rooms were a bit intimidating at first but I really enjoyed doing the research and coming up with a great decor plan. They are going to be great! These pictures will also be a bit. Tomorrow I will go to my sister's home to help her with the small details of each of the rooms in her home. They did a complete home flip in about 4 weeks. It was a true dump, but looks amazing now. Thanks for checking in! My bedroom redo pictures will be posted within the next few weeks. It is a color scheme I never thought I would go for, but I am loving it!
