bedroom makeover part 2

this makeover will be a long one it seems. Both due to the fact it is hard to find the pieces I want and my budget is limited. :)

But I did go on a little shoppingspree a week ago and found these:

 A new bedsidelamp which I love, now I just need to get some height to the chrome stool it stands on to give it more "umph".

 One of the bedsidetable ideas i had was getting a traytable, but never got around to it. Well I have one but needed to build a new base to get it to the height I wanted....alas....my mojo disappeard. :)
Instead I found these two trunks that are not only nice to look at, they serve as storage aswell. :)
I just moved the other bedsidelamp I had before to this side, am still searching for one more lamp.

 

And since they had such a good deal on it I bought this floorstand lamp too. :):)

So now all I need to do is get rid of my ceilinglamp and the look is almost complete for the room.

 

The end is close but then again not.

 

 

being creative....

I went shopping for a bedsidelamp the other day and came out with a Little bit more than I thought...;)

Found this tray storage thingy that i just loved, had an idea and well this is how it went....

...and with a Little time and love and some creativity I created a sweet landscape of fall...

 

 

Added some more flowers yesterday to it :)

Walldecor dilemma

Yesterday I ended up shopping a new wall Clock for my Collection...however now I am slightly regretting the purchase. And ended up online looking for others this morning.

The problem now is that I fell in love with one that is no longer on the market.
Have found a few other selections, but not sure if I should get one. And if I should get one which one to choose.

Here are a the ones I am (currently) thinking about:

 I have a bluish/turqoise color theme going on around the apartment and liked this one!

But then I thought I should add some other color...and this one popped out.

Then I found this one here, since it wasn't round like the others.

 

Then I found these ones (above) and they stood out too... website

Here is the one that I bought:

 

Not sure it will fit with the others. And it is White...which I new when I bought it! :)

But it is a different shade of White than my wall is...:(

 

Here is a photo of the wall in progress ignore the mess and what not and just focus on the wall:

 

Any tips or hints?? The star might get a different color later on...



A very simple tabletop centerpiece

We are all very different when it comes to decorating and such in our home. One thing that I took with me from my mother is always have a runner on my diningtable. Where she has flowers I have most of the time Candles....:)

After doing my floors in the kitchen (you can find the post about that here) I ended up cleaning it from top to bottom...due to every little speck of dust that came out of putting down a laminate wood floor.
Following that I went into my "decor-storage bins" in search for materials for a centerpiece.

A very simple and fast one to do. I got everything several years ago, not sure from where, but you can easily create it yourself.

A little piece of summer and sand inside :)

Vignettes and eye treats

After installing the floor I had to give my kitchen a major cleaning...aswell as the rest of the apartment. Dust from the boards everywhere...I still see it!

While I was in the process of cleaning I figured I would update a few random areas around the place. A few eye features...:)

 

 

The corner in my kitchen got a little makeover, this is how it used to look like Click here

 

I added a few more candlestands to the collection I started with last christmas. The two smaller ones were a steal...bought them at work. The turqoise milk bin I bought at Ikea.

All in alla I am enjoying the both corners alot. Now I just need to finish all the other corners too. :)
