Should I Do It?

Pretty much every corner of my house is undergoing some sort of project right now.  Needless to say, it's quite the mess.  My head is constantly full of ideas of things I can do to improve our little house.  The other day  I was sitting at my desk and this thought came to my mind. What if I move our bed in front of the window in our bedroom? We have two windows and so light would still get in?  These were the inspiration photos I found during a Google/Pinterest search...

This is a little simple but I wanted you to get the point.

And I love this.  When my brother gets his act together and gets a cute place. I will make him this room. {Motivation Bob}.

 This is kind of close to what our room would look like. I  have a tad bit more space.

 This is my dream Master Bedroom. Some day. Some day SOON!

And this is our room now. But in real life there is laundry all over the floor, firetrucks in our bed and water glasses piled on our nightstands.  Something's gotta change. And it had to be this weekend.



I have had my eye on some simple, ivory drapes for in here and I think I will add a fabric trim to the sides, push the rod out a bit and  move the bed.  Nail head trim on the DIY headboard? Anyone?

I love that I have that shelf above our bed for me to throw my wedding rings on in the middle of the night but I don't know if I will cry when I don't have it anymore.

I got new bedding...It looks like this. It's Pottery Barn.  I paired it with some ruffle shams and a ivory quilt. It works for now.  I need something  monogrammed to make me love it. Call me Southern.

 I am determined to make this chandelier for my room with a $30 Craig's List find. Wish me luck. Scratch that...just wish me patience.

I bought new lampshades for our nightstand lamps. At TARGET. They have great lamp shades right now. This one was $9.99.  I knew I had scored when Adam said "Wow, I like those".  I wanted to clap for myself.

And recently I was lucky enough to land some antique doors from a family friend here in Charlotte. I am thinking about taking the mirrors off the wall, leaning a door on each side and then attaching the mirrors to them. We'll see how that goes.  

 BEDROOM MAKE OVER 2011 is in full effect.  Hopefully their will be pictures next week!!

UPDATE:  I made the move.   The room looks so much bigger!  My mom and I made the trek to Mary Jo's and I reupholstered our headboard in a gorgeous, heavy fabric with great texture to it.  I switched our blinds out to bamboo and got rid of our rug.  I am putting some final touches on it and then I'll post pics!!!
