Master Bedroom Bed Options

Hello Friends!

Yes, I am still here, and I apologize for leaving blogland for a while. It is what is , plain and simple, laziness coupled with lots of trips here and there and visitors to tend to. No excuses.

But since I am on the verge of another big project, I wanted to share with you, I had to get off my
B- - - and start writing and posting again, so here I am. And today I wanted to share some bed options I've been considering since I wanted to replace our Master Bedroom bed for a while now into an upholstered bed. Mainly I want something softer for a headboard, since our old one was still fine.

Our bedroom last Christmas

I also want to replace all the dark wood in the room and of course, and with that, you know I'll be re-doing our Master bedroom, hopefully SOON!

So here are the bed options I'm entertaining so far...

Nail Button Arched Wingback from Target ($699)

Swoop Wingback from Target ($799)

Kelly Wingback bed from OKL ($859)

Aurora Wingback bed from OKL ($1099)

Symphony Upholstered Panel Bed from All Modern ($1045)

Somerset Upholstered bed from Dwell Studio ($1299)

Beverly Gold /White Linen bed from OKL ($1229)

Amelia Upholstered bed from OKL ($1495)

Aon Upholstered by from OKL ($1679)

Bernardino Bed from Horchow ($1999)

So please, HELP! Do you have any other suggestion other than these? Thank you!!!! And hope to visit your blog soon!

Also I will be participating once again on the Summer Home Tours this year!

Spring Home tour

Hello everyone!

I know you already saw the fabulous homes from Monday to just now, Friday's equally fabulous group as well. If your hopping by from Anita's at "Far Above Rubies", thank you and I hope I don't disappoint after that eclectic and colorful home tour!

Let's get on shall we? But before I do, I need to thank our beloved host and ever-patient SPRING HOME TOUR coordinator-extraordinaire, Marty from "A Stroll thru Life" fame, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for including me and my home among these other inspiring homes!

Let's go first to our LIVING ROOM!

Blues and Purples are my Spring choice this year

I actually just did only a little update from my home's BLUE & WHITE WINTER HOME decor (you can check it out HERE) by adding a lot of flowers particularly in purple and of course adding the purple pillows & original art work too.

Add caption

My Coffee table/ ottoman is filled with Easter display already and of course, our latest Photo book of our trip to Paris last winter!

My steadily growing blue and white collection!

I kept the Matisse Print on the console since I think it's perfect

Scored my Faux orchids from ROSS at $12.99 each! Unbelievable steal right?!

I displayed the travel books we collected recently from our European vacation

Above the piano is a very special display...

... an original painting made by my 12 year old son! I absolutely love it!!!!

These four are my originals - had to make new art work to go with my color palette. This series is called - "CORNERS"

Here's another look - painting has become a favorite family past time recently

Ok, now let's head off to the DINING ROOM...

Still a lot of happy colors - this time in blues, greens and pinks!

My paper whites died are gone, but I kept the plant and added my moss bunny picks!

All set for Easter!

My DIY Cherry Blossoms I made years ago makes a comeback as well as my growing Chocolate
bunny collection!

And before we end this tour, let me show you my daughter's bedroom!

An explosion of pinks here for sure!

The other painting I need to brag about - my 2 1/2 year old did her own painting too!

Spring books abound!

In our Breakfast area, just some Easter Lily on our table

I hope you enjoyed the tour and thank you again for stopping by! Now, head on over to Chelsea's blog at "Making Home Base"!

Small Room Re-do - The Loo

Hello Friends! Spring is definitely here where I'm at , and with that comes the cleaning, re-organizing and yes, some room updates.

Today I wanted to share with you a super simple room re-do I did on our Master Loo!

Ta-da!

And no makeover, no matter how small, is complete without showing you the BEFORE...

Simple and boring, just as any Loo should be?! ;-)

the cream walls had to go

And so 1 Sunday afternoon, I painted...

... and added this easy to place wallpaper from WALLS NEED LOVE

Chose this Art-Deco pattern

And Viola! My Loo is boring no more!

Yes, we do have a bidet.

I changed out the artwork from the one I used to hang in my Master bedroom

I added this small orchid and my favorite candle of course.

I only had enough paper for these 2 walls so I left the opposite wall bare and hung this typography art (a gift from 1 of my friends on my last birthday).

Still thinking if I should add more paper on this wall.

Had some left-over paper to zhush up the switch plate too

Overall I'm happy with this mini-update! Quick, easy and pretty room in a matter of a few hours. Using this type of self-adhesive wallpaper does help. But now I have to wait how long this type of paper lasts. Will let you know!

Please don't forget the Spring Home tours this coming March 20!
