Here are a few recent pictures of our bedroom I posted about yesterday:

As you can see, nothing major has changed, but again, I changed up the bedding and swapped out a few pillows. The small rug in the middle is really just so my kitty has a soft place to land when jumping off the bed. The large mirror I had in the front room above the fireplace for awhile has now made it’s way back into my room, as did St. Francis whom  for now resides on my nightstand.

I think as far as my home decor goes, my master bedroom is the room I tire of the least these days. Even though I feel like my style is changing and my urge to purge lately is certainly affecting the rest of my home, the things in my bedroom remain mostly constant. I surround myself with the things I love the most in this room, old grain sacks, my favorite pillows, worn wood, antique furniture and botanical touches.

Although the room doesn’t look exactly like this today, I thought I’d share some more of the images I took for Creatively Made back in August…

I tend to waver back and forth in my choice of bedding… sometimes I go for the blue and when I feel like mixing things up for a bit, I will switch to red…

I actually bought a new linen duvet from West Elm a few months back, and a lovely cream and grey blanket to layer over it. I’ll have to take some updated pictures to show you all the changes.

Have a lovely week. Can you believe it’s already Thursday?!

Thought I would continue sharing some of the images I took back in August/September of our home.

The exterior of our house has come a loooooong way… just take a peek at how it used to look, here. I like it even more now that some of the plants have started to grow in. (Don’t mind the giant weed next to the stair case…)

See those architectural arches in the corners near the roof? I cheated and bought those from Pottery Barn. They were meant to be large book-ends or home decor, but they were much cheaper than a matching pair of actual vintage ones.

This is our family room, where we hang out most of the time, as the television is on this room. It’s very rarely “camera ready” so I don’t often take pictures of this space.

I bought this table fairly recently from Country Roads Antiques, and sold my black Pottery Barn table that used to be here. I was growing tired of having so much black furniture, and I loved the legs on this table. The top is a bit rough and weathered (not in a pretty way) so I have been waxing it and trying to decide what I want to do with it.

These last few images are of the front sitting room. I recently smoothed out the drywall (and ceiling) in here, filled in the recessed box above the fireplace, and painted this room SeaPearl. I like the change, but I do miss the stripes a little. The walls were in desperate need of repairs, and I didn’t paint them myself (the old owners did) so I decided it was time for a change. It’s growing on me more and more. I’ll have to share some updated pictures soon…
