Lucky Shopping

 

Shopping luck was on my side this week.  I went to Dirt Cheap, which is exactly what it sounds like.  You never know what you are going to find, but I have gotten some great stuff there.  It's kinda a hot mess though.  90% of the time it looks like a tornado hit it. 

They always have lots of Target closeouts though, which is great since the closest Target is almost 2 hours away.  I think I went through withdrawals when I moved here!  I had forgotten Dwell has a Target line and they have a quilt version of the  bedding I was wanting.  And even better, I found it at Dirt Cheap so, you guessed it, it was dirt cheap!  It's a king size which is a little bigger than what I needed, but I can't pass up a deal.  I mean it was obviously fate!

 

I also ordered this vintage wall paper from Etsy.

 

My plan is to frame two long panels like in this picture.

Now I'm on the hunt for frames the right size!

Guest bedroom Inspo

While I slowly work on stripping the credenza, I'm planning on starting a few inside projects as well for the cold days when I really don't want to work outside.  Our guest bedroom hasn't really been touched since we moved in and it is nooot cute. 

Yikes.  It was the same dirty yellow beige color as the rest of the house.  This was the only room that didn't have any wallpaper (hallelujah!) so it won't require so much prep work.  It's become more of a storage room lately, so we are definitely going to need some organization.  I really want it to be a relaxing room and pretty gender neutral so all our guests will be comfortable. 

I've loved this bedding for forever and I looove all the colors

but I think it's a little much for the guest bedroom.  It comes in a more neutral color way that is more along the lines of what I'm thinking.

Hopefully, I can find something similar to this Dwell bedding.  This isn't our forever home, so I really don't want to spend a fortune on something we may not use for long.
