Bedroom Tour
I know that you are all dying to see where "the magic happens".... ok really I just had nothing else to blog about today, so I decided to take you on a tour of my bedroom!! Yippee!!
My bedroom is the result of some intense planning and hunting for the perfect items. Seriously, I thought up most of the furniture and decor in my head and then set out to find it. Of course, I had no idea if such things even existed but I came pretty darn close to what I had initially pictured. Without further ado... Benny and I will take you on a tour of the bedroom...
So if you can already tell, I'm a tiny bit obsessed with french provincial and chandeliers...
That headboard is my FIFTH CHILD! (the pets come first, obvi). It came all the way over from the UK, and let me tell you, it was definitely an experience obtaining it. First of all, it's from the UK so right away it's like a million times more expensive than anything here, but I didn't care because it was perfection! Secondly, the shipping took about 3 months and I had to have special people pick it up along the way, hand deliver it to the customs offices, go to said customs offices hours away just to sign for it, and then have a special delivery service send it to my house because there was no way that thing was fitting in my trunk. I didn't even get to unwrap it for a couple of months because we were in the process of moving and I didn't want to get it dirty. Can you imagine? Waiting for something sooo long and then not opening it until months later? It was worse than finding hidden Christmas presents.
All of the other furniture was found from classified ads or garage sales. The bed set is Martha Stewart. The colours are all white, teal and turquoise. The walls are painted a grey/blue... sorry I have no idea what the actual name of it is because it was custom matched to the wallpaper that covers a wall with a big window in the middle.
The dress form lady holds all of my necklaces. I gave her some clothes, and actually got that furry vest just for her!
I love my bedroom. It's actually pretty large and there are some less attractive things I left out, such as the TV mounted on the wall, the bathroom, and my walk-indungeon closet, but you get the idea ;)
EDIT: ok ok, bonus pic....
