Updated House Tour: Master Bedroom

June 7, 2014 by Aliesha

It’s been forever since I updated our house tour page, so I’m going to start working on that!

First up, here is our master bedroom as it looked this morning.

When we walk in our bedroom, I want it to feel like a haven, and like a peaceful place that isn’t filled with junk or kids toys.  (I know, high standards.)  We got our headboard this spring, and it’s been so nice for reading in bed or nursing Jude!  I don’t know how we did without it!

Since we just moved Jude into his own room, we had to do some switcheroos.  My dresser became his new dresser, and I got this one.  The room he moved into was our office, so my desk and computer moved into our room.

I like keeping my dresser clear of miscellaneous things so I can display pretty things on it!

I think I’ll probably keep my desk area more organized and clutter-free since it’s in our bedroom now.

I am planning on painting this chair… but what color?  I was initially planning on white, but maybe black would be nice?  My mom made the pretty coffee filter wreath on the closet door.  I bought these lamps before we were married and I knew I would love them always.

Our bedroom gets soft light (filtered through the bushes outside the window) throughout the day, which gives the room such a peaceful feel.

Tad’s dresser is on the other side of the room.

A fan in the spring/summer/fall is a MUST in Eastern NC!  I love this pretty bird pillow that a sweet friend gave me!

The small details around the room make me smile.

This artwork is from Charleston (where we honeymooned).

Thanks for stopping by for this “tour” today!  I’ll be photographing other rooms as I get the opportunity.

New Kitchen Curtains

June 4, 2014 by Aliesha

After living in our home for four years, I finally made some curtain valances for our kitchen!  I am not a seamstress at all, but I try to at least make curtains since custom curtains can be really pricey!


It’s super simple to make this kind of valance.  Just cut your fabric to the size you want (mine worked out perfectly so I was able to get 2 panels out of one 45″ wide and 2 yard long piece of fabric).  Hem all four edges, then attach curtain clips to the top edge, then hang on the rods.  That’s it!  It took me an hour to make the panels and iron them, and then Tad hung the curtains for me (which took another 30-45 minutes).

I’m in love with this fabric!

Succulents

April 10, 2014 by Aliesha

A sweet lady at my parents’ church was giving away these lovely succulent plants, so my dad picked some up for me!  I potted them in a few containers I had already (two on left: IKEA, one on right: thrifted).

I’ve had succulents before (posted about them here and here), and they did better when I wasn’t watering them very often.  This works out great for me, since I am pretty bad about remembering to water plants.

I’m hoping I’ll be able to keep these alive, because they are gorgeous!
