Morning, friends! We took advantage of the three day weekend and did quite a bit of relaxing and quite a bit of housework too. Lots of home updates to come this week…
Anyway, since May flew by, it’s once again time for my monthly Pinterest post. So many goodies, so little time…
Interested in sources for any of the above items? Follow me on Pinterest here.
As I mentioned a few weeks ago, Anna Mara flowers is offering a flower share in Portland. I’m a sucker for fresh flowers, so you can bet my name was on the list. Last week I picked up my first bouquet of red peonies and vibernum and arranged them in an old mason jar, and I had a pretty centerpiece for an entire week. Love.
Nothing like fresh and local flowers. Happy Thursday, friends!
Morning!
Before I dive into this bedding post, let me just say that it took me a long time to piece together our bedding. Maybe even a year…talk about indecisive! I knew what I wanted, but I just couldn’t find it. Or, when I did, it was terribly over our budget or was just a shade too light or too dark. So when I finally landed on all of these pieces (which just so happen to be from 4 different stores!) I was very ready to put this project to rest. These were my final choices…

And here’s how the items actually look on our bed…
I have a bolster pillow I’m waiting on an insert for, and then this bed will finally be complete. Yes!
For whatever reason, I was motivated this weekend to check a few things off our long house to do list. The rain gave us a good excuse to lay low (or rather, hangout inside) so I conquered our master bedroom gallery wall, painted our second bathroom, and began painting the fireplace. Getting a lot accomplished usually means decent blog content, and I’m happy to report I have a few good posts up my sleeve this week:).
I haven’t showed many photos of our master bedroom, and that’s because we haven’t done too much in this room. We’ve painted the walls, installed new white trim, and that’s about it.
As a reminder, here is where we started….
Amazing wallpaper, right? Ha. After much debate, we painted over the wallpaper. Best decision ever. We used Benjamin Moore’s paper white, and thankfully, you’d never know wallpaper ever existed in this room. The floors were also stained the same color as our kitchen area, so the bones of the room really did get a face lift.
Now, about that gallery wall. Here’s the blank space above our bed that was begging for a little love…
And then I played around with frame placement…
And this is the result…and I actually made our bed:)…
I still need a handful of prints to go in the frames, so this isn’t the final “after” photo, but it’s close. And these days, I’ll take close rather than finished:).
And about that bedding that finally came together…
I’ll have a full post on that later this week. Happy Monday, friends!
