I know there's a lot of flower patterns going on on the bed but i like it. i found the two white and blue pillows on clearance at TJ Max for 7 bucks for the pair. they are actually chair cushions, i just cut off the ties. the bedding is half of what we had before (shams, bedskirt) and half of what i mixed with our guest room bedding downstairs (pillows, duvet cover). I did the little saying thing over the bed. 3 canvases from big lots, just printed out words from the computer, scrapbook paper and mod podge. not my best piece ever but i guess it will work for now. i wanted something with a personal touch.

and here's the story on the accessorizing, i want a new dresser to replace the tall one- its a piece of junk, but what can ya do. this dresser if you look back at the photos had out dated round black knobs so this was my one expense really was updating the hardware. i really like what i ended up with and think it makes a world of difference.
These were the frames that used to be above the bed. i had a calendar given to me for my birthday that has these fantastic photos. i really wanted to display them with it still flowing with the room. I do need something on the dresser between it and the photos but i haven't gotten there yet. i'll dig around the house and see what i come up with. something simple but it needs something. long term i will probably take the mirror that originally attached to this dresser and frame it out with molding for a mirror or something
and this is my favorite piece of the whole room. if you look at the before photo--- the top of this dresser is always the dumping ground and i've tried every box, bowl, etc. i could find to keep this area organized and nothing has worked. so i was in savers like 2 days ago and they had this cutest file box with drawer that is super sturdy wood and the color was perfect! love the shabby chic look. oh and it was only 4 bucks- love that!
