Part of my gift this year is that I get to decorate our bedroom however I want! Of course I keep asking his opinion, but I've been having fun designing the room of my dreams! We have to do it piece by piece because we have a very small budget right now, but I've gotten the first couple of pieces and I'm so excited to get started! I've decided to do brown walls, and mostly browns, beiges and whites in the room. I originally wanted browns and blues, but I couldn't find the right bedspread. I finally picked out the paint (actually got it from the oops pile for only $5 per gallon of BEHR!) and I fell in love with a comforter at Target. It's a little pricey for now but it's got light brown and a silvery blue and I got dark brown sheets and a medium brown part CASHMERE blanket. I told hubby that he can get the comforter, dust ruffle, acessory pillows, etc. for Valentine's day, my birthday, our anniversary... It might take a while to get all I want! Our dressers are old and gross, it's the stuff I had in my bedroom when I was a kid. So we need to replace those eventually. And I want to get 2 chairs and a table to make a seating area by the window, but that will take some time too. Gee, maybe by next Xhristmas I'll be done with this project!

We got some Oops paint in a chocolate brown, it's beautiful! I wasn't sure I would like it, but now that it's painted I love the color. It looks about the same color as when a Hershey's bar melts on your fingers. We made an upholstered headboard with blue velvety fabric, and it came out great. It has those upholstery tacks or nails all around the edge. The rest is still in progress, but the room looks a million times better already!

Miki, your room sounds dreamy. When do we get to see pics in progress?
Life is meant to be enjoyed, not endured.
