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.

Organizing, Crafting, and Decorating

February 19, 2014 by Aliesha

I don’t know why, but I’ve had a major urge to organize, declutter, purge, clean, decorate, and craft lately! I guess it’s an early spring cleaning bug!

I reorganized both bathroom closets/cabinets and threw away old stuff. Here is the master bathroom linen closet:

We got a headboard, finally, after years of not having one. That, plus the new Euro pillows, are making nursing in bed so much nicer!

I made this sign for the kitchen after being inspired by this one. I’m planning on turning my broom closet into a pantry and then hanging this sign above it.

I also took some pictures of my beautiful Cordelia, since she will be 2 on Sunday! Here’s a tiny sneak peek … but check back Sunday for more! I’ve also made a couple of fun things for Cordelia’s birthday party!

While we were outside, Tad took a couple shots of me. I got a new watch, which you can see in this picture.

In other news, we had a beautiful snow last week (third one this winter, which is crazy for our area)!

We also had a lovely Valentine’s Day dinner that Tad made for us!

I think that pretty much summarizes our last week or so!

New Wall Decor

May 13, 2013 by Aliesha

I’ve finally added some decorations to our bedroom walls! We inherited this floral wallpaper with the house, so I’m trying to work with it instead of fight against it.

I finally framed this beautiful print I bought back in college. I couldn’t find a frame large enough in my price range, so I made this one using molding corner brackets! (Tad helped.) I painted it as well.

I’ve been dying to make a jewelry holder forever, so I finally bought some gorgeous knobs at Hobby Lobby and used leftover molding from the frame project to put this together! I love how it turned out.
