in progress-the bedroom

I had to just take a quick shot of the new organic bedding that arrived this week. I love it! I have to still paint the walls a nice light grey(not a high priority) and I'd like to reinvent the prints behind the bed. For the prints I'd like to paint the frame glossy white and make collages on them. The prints are a little sentimental to me. My daughter at age 22 months started to wear glasses for a turned eye and she is super far sighted. She was so little and on the first day of wearing her new glasses, we were laying on our bed and she looked up at the prints and said "look at the monkeys." I think I cried. She had such horrible vision she hadn't been able to make out the monkeys before. It was as if she was seeing things for the first time.

my new bedding

We are a one income family, so everything I spend has to be thought out. I have been wanting to change our bedding for a couple of years. Most of what we have is almost 10 years old. I'm ready for a change. I decided to only buy organic or something old. Well, I blew that plan when I purchased the sheets at Target. They are 1000 thread count and super soft, and the most lushest shade of gray. I love them. So, next up was a new duvet. I found an organic tufted one at West Elm, but the color didn't work. Then, a couple of months ago they introduced a new white version. I finally ordered it on Ebay last week. Next up, the coverlet. I thought I wanted this one, until I saw it was not turquoise enough for me. So, I saw Amy Butler had come out with a whole line of organic bedding by Welspun. I checked it out and fell in love with the charcoal gray coverlet. It took me a few days, before I figured out how to purchase it, Bed,Bath and Beyond is selling the line. So now I just need to order! Oh yeah, I'm thinking about painting the walls a light shade of grey. I can't wait to put it all together for a nice photo shoot. Stay tuned.
