I Need a Vote!

Trying to decide exactly how to transform my Ikea Malm dresser in my bedroom and I am torn between two ideas. That's where you come in! Opinions, please!

Option 1 (via Design Manifest):



Option 2: This would be white on white and with completely different (brass?) hardware.


Thoughts?

Checking In

We made it back from Phoenix last night and I am still trying to get myself together. In the meantime, here are some pics from my iPhone of the trip!











Happy New Year!

May your holiday be merry and bright!

I will be taking a break for the next week so I can try to enjoy all of this chaos! I still have gifts to wrap, packing to do and trips to make! Wishing you the happiest of holidays! See you soon!

Final Master Bedroom Plan

Well, hopefully! I have had such a hard time nailing down a plan for the master bedroom. There are so many directions that I would like to take but I think I may have found the winner! Hoping to get going full force after Christmas!!

A Sketch

I sketched a cute little pansy for our bedroom. I love the ink flowers I did earlier this year so I decided to try my hand again and I love the way it turned out!





Still need to style the table and hang up the picture, but looking good for now!
