My bedroom...more updates

Since my last bedroom update I've added a few more things, take a look...

check out my fury friend

did I mention that I love my little mongolian lamb pillow!

coochy coo my little pet ;)  my pillow is from HomeSense

my new marble tumbler from the Salvation Army

it stores my rubber stamps

okay I know a tweezer is not decor, but I love my new tweezerman

because it's zebra print and it goes well with the colour scheme in my room!!

Bedroom Progress... all the details

Remember when a while ago my sister asked me to help her re-do her room, well we have made a lot of progress...

We finished the bookshelves and her desk area. We are still waiting for some fabric to recover her reading chair and desk stool. Soon the room will be re-done. We are thinking about making a fabric headboard, we just have to get all the measurements done first!

head over here and here to see the before's and stay tuned as I reveal her room piece by piece...

some great large scale books

bookshelf knick knacks and books from various sources including HomeSense, Bouclair and Value Village

my sister's own marbled paper and artwork in the background

the entire bookshelf in all it's glory!

fun ivory and brass magnifying glass HomeSense

cool peace sign jewelry holder from HomeSense

large chess piece decor from the Goodwill

more Value Village books and a handmade candle

marble/granite box from Goodwill

Stay tuned more to come...

Bedroom Updates...

I have recently been in the mood to decorate and since the majority of my house is well...already decorated I figured I would focus my attention on my bedroom. For me a bedroom has to be comfy, cozy, relaxing and of course stylish! So I decided that I needed just a few updates, not a total re-do. First I found this beautiful duvet cover that looks just like this one from West Elm, but I got mine from Bouclair. I then added a beautiful goose feather duvet (from Walmart! you'd be surprised how hard it is to find a double duvet cover) a white bedskirt and a luxurious grey, white and black throw both  from HomeSense.

So what do you guys think, you like my room? I am thinking of changing up the drapes, but I really haven't found anything I love yet, and I am on the hunt for some decorative pillows for the bed, maybe one like this mangolian lamb pillow cover from west elm in grey, but I may try and see if I can find a more cost friendly version, maybe from HomeSense.

Please don't mind my wrinkled bedskirt...
