The Bedroom Redo

I promised you guys pictures of our recent bedroom redo.  Furniture is something that we are slowly working to update in our new house (we just bought it last April). Unfortunately, most of our furniture is still mainly made up of college pieces and hand me downs from family. We decided that the bedroom was our first priority, followed by the living room.

We had a decent bedroom set but it was something my parents purchased for me when I went off to college. We decided to move it into the guest bedroom. I’ll show pictures of the guest room once we get a few last things finished in there.

So here is the new bedroom. We love it!

The West Elm bed was our first purchase for the room (followed by an Orvis bed for Sullie, of course). We went for a warm tan/dark brown color scheme blue accents.

The picture that  you see on the wall above and below is from our honeymoon. It’s one of our favorites and makes us happy every time we see it! Brandon found a company, My Photo Pipe, that produces fabulous oversized, vivid prints at a reasonable price.

We like the look of floor to ceiling curtains so we hung them high. The dresser and night stands are from Ikea. The mirror above the dresser is from Home Goods.

We couldn’t find art that we liked for above our bed in our price range so Brandon made this piece while I was at my first weekend of yoga teacher training. He and his mom bought this fun paisley fabric and stretched it over a canvas frame. I give him total credit for pulling this room together. He is amazing.

What do you think? Our first completed room in our new house! Well, I would still like to get an area rug for the room but you get the idea.

I’ll share today’s eats in my post tomorrow night – nothing too exciting. The big news for the day is that I had a major ashtanga milestone this morning. I did a difficult back bend on my own.

Behold, the tick tock!!!
