Bedroom Inspiration

It's easy to put the interior design of the house on the backburner when we're so focused on just making the place functional.

So I thought I'd look for some bedroom inspiration.

Saffron Quilted Coverlet - Full / Queen
I have always loved DwellStudio bedding. It has always been just a little too expensive. I've always been one to buy the least expensive sheets I could find that usually had a low thread count to match. That is up until this year. After I moved out of my old house I was needing to buy new sheets. I was at target late one night, on the phone with my brother, with a couple of glasses of wine in my system and he convinced me to splurge on bedding. He explained to me that a lot of time is spent in bed - so you might as well make it nice. By the way, he sleeps on a mattress he found in the street, sheets that were in my parents linen closet for decades and a thread-bare quilt. I think he was probably trying to live vicariously through me when he told me to buy the goose down comforter.

So back to the DwellStudio bedding. I found a few grey and yellow color schemes that I love. I also like the dark grey wall color in the photo above. I'm thinking about doing something about like that in our master bedroom as well. I love the coziness yellow quilt paired with the grey and white striped sheets.

I like the overall print on this set but I'm not a fan of butterflies. Even if I was I would probably feel a little funny about making Jeremy sleep under them.

Maybe we'll treat ourselves to some of this fantastic bedding for Christmas. Or maybe we can piece together the look for a lot less with the help of Target, Wal-Mart and the mall.

Oh! I also came across some DwellStudio bean bag chairs:

Jeremy needs one of these to go with the new Xbox 360.

As far as the remodel goes... We took Saturday off to enjoy time with the family. We saw The Happening - it was terrible. Then we enjoyed some karaoke with some friends.

Sunday I managed to texture one more wall in bedroom one and Jeremy got the rest of the concrete out of the bathroom. That is a huge accomplishment! We did notice that the toilet drain (the one that carries the poop and pee to the bog of eternal stench) has a crack in it. We'll have our friend take a look at this tomorrow and see what he thinks. Hopefully we can just patch it up with some plumber putty and some sort of heavy duty tape - if not we'll need to get a plumber out to replace it. We also need to see if there is still a leak occuring that originally caused all that wood to rot out.
