remember that craft show i went to last week? oh, did i forget to mention that i picked up an old barn window? yah, i'm kind of obsessed. check it out:
hellooooo rustic lodge feel. i happen to really like you. |
at the craft show the week prior, i had seen something very similar; there was a guy with a booth that did custom framing with old barn windows and i loved the idea. when i saw this for under $30, i had to have it. and thus, my inspiration was born for a whole new bedroom. the walls in our bedroom are the only ones in the house that are white. i actually painted them that way, which seems silly now. i had this grand plan to do some dramatic curtains and felt the walls having color would be too much. well, here we are, still with no window coverings and a bland looking room. the reason? one entire wall is a sliding glass door. i didn't realize it at the time, but that's 'spensive. well, now it's worked out in our favor, because those stinky curtains wouldn't have worked out with this better idea.
i would like to take some pictures over thanksgiving up at eric's family's house on neebish island and use the window as a frame of sorts. i am also looking to add one more barn window to the collection to hang over our bed. i would love to get a picture of us with the dogs outdoors to put in it.
and this bedding? looooooove.
now this whole set is about $800, so that's a no go, but i'm hoping i can call on grandma to help me make a quilt and shams very similar to this. i'm positive i can make my own bird pillow, and how hard can it be to find a waffle-textured white duvet?
for lighting:
i'm picturing these on either side of the bed. |
birch candles? yes, please. |
and my favorite idea? i found this on apartment therapy and have been itching to try it out:
no, not the flies. the branch. how did someone think these go together?? |
i'm on the lookout for a big branch that i can preserve to hang across a large empty wall. rather than using it as a coat hook, i am hoping to find a collection of frames that i can hang from it with twine. the pictures would be a mixture of family and scenic photos.
i don't think it's possible for me to be more excited about this. stay tuned to see how it plays out. who knows, really. i have a tendency to start a lot of projects and never finish them. wish me luck.
Love the lamps!
