P.P.... Pastel Pink!

As you know, I have pink on the mind.  I have ALWAYS loved pink.  I had a lot more pink in my home before I was married.  If I were not married- I would still have a lot of pink.  For now... most of my pink stuff is in my guest rooms where I was given free reign from the husband!  Pink can be very girly, but it can also serve as a neutral... sort of!  

Check out these pastel pink room inspirations!

B...b...b....Bench.

I had been looking for a bench for our bedroom for forever. We have this large wall that need something and I concluded a bench was just what we needed. Plus it would give me a place to put our throw pillows when we slept. Have I mentioned that the husband loves that we have 10 pillows on our bed? LOVES IT!

Speaking of the husband, I am married to Mr. Cheapo.... so I was on a tight budget. I perused Craigslist for months but nothing panned out. One day I stumbled across a bench at a flea market that was $20 bucks. Although it was not exactly what I was looking for .... I decided for $20 I would give it a chance.

It had ugly tapestry cushions and was a yucky brown stain when I bought it. I painted it black and recovered cushions in a cream matelasse material that coordinates with our coverlet. For $20 plus two cans of spray paint and $7 bucks worth of fabric... I am pretty happy with it!

I love a good flea market find! Until next time....xoxo

TBPT......Twin Beds Pushed Together! Ingenious!

There is a war at my house. War of the covers! I tell my husband if he did not run our thermostat as a dictatorship... we would not have this problem. But- we do. I am freezing just about all the time. The husband steals the covers when he is not stealing my pillow. I jokingly came across a photo of a master bedroom that was two twin beds pushed together and said that this is what our next step was. Two twin beds... each with their own sheets, bedspread and coverlet. Throw on a queen size duvet at the end that spreads over the two beds to give the illusion of one bed and some throw pillows.... voila! Restful Perfection!

Well all joking aside, I think these are pretty darn cute bedrooms that are utilizing twin beds to make one bed!

This first photo is what started it all! Two matching beds that share nothing but a headboard!

Twin beds as one tucked away. Shh... we are hiding?

These next two photos of Coastal Living by way of Elements of Style. Beautiful!

I've collected some great photos of very separate twin beds that I will share another day. But, alas... off to my queen sized bed to battle over the duvet!

Until Next Time...xoxo
