We are slowly but surely updating the decor in our home. You know how you just need a fresh look every once an awhile?!?!
So here's what we've done so far, some rooms are close to done, some rooms only have one step.
Bedroom:
Our bedroom got a fresh look using old ideas. We purchased a mid century modern bedroom set from an antique store and it made the room SOOO much better! Turns out giant furniture from the 21st century just doesn't fit a tiny room built in 1922. The lower profile furniture looks so much cleaner and the room looks more spacious!
So of course I don't have any before pictures cause I'm a great blogger like that. But here is our updated (vintage) bedroom:
 |
| Chest of Drawers |
 |
| Side table ( I spy little lambs....) |
 |
| Console Dresser |
Still looking far a few wall accents for this room. But other than that it's done for now!
Next two rooms is just a sneak peak. The official revel will be by the end of September.
Here are some hints from what's happening in the dining room.
 |
| It may be a new color |
 |
| New chairs are involved... |
 |
| And some great new lamps |
 |
| Up close |
 |
| And a brand new, antique, china cabinet ( I spy missing French Doors) |
This is what is so hard about decorating for me....it is a process. Unless you have A LOT of disposable income and you can just open a West Elm catalog and buy every piece in the room, it comes together pretty slowly. We have learned from some very gracious friends (hm hm Lara and Aaron) that it takes patience and "just trying it out" to find out what really fits in a room and what should be returned. Even if you have to return 18 curtain panels and an 8 x 10 rug.
So last set of sneak peak pics are of our guest bedroom, that may or may not contain our future Mid Century Modern buffet ( if my massive Art Deco monster ever sells on Craigslist, I'll move it to it's rightful place in the dining room).
 |
| New bed and new bedspread |
 |
| I spy a rug that needs returning! |
So thats my horrible post about our decorating journey, that is far from finished. But we are beginning to see the end....

It's all looking great! Loving the new colors and can't wait to see the full reveal soon!! Are the french doors staying off? Think you'll remove the one that leads to the kitchen too?
