Design on a Dime

My little shopping excursion to IKEA got me all pumped up for Spring cleaning and redecorating. So far I have completed the master bedroom and taken the boy's bunkbeds down. Their room will be a lot more extensive than mine was. My room however is looking great! I am so pleased with my IKEA purchases: a duvet cover and a table. My room is black and white toile with red accents. I can't afford a total revamp but these two pieces really spruced things up. I stuffed a down comforter in the duvet and Jon and I are in love with our bed all over again. It really is like sleeping on a cloud. We had to move it to cover the giant wax stain leftover from my candle drama. The placement really works better than we realized. I also love, love, love my new red table. It goes perfectly and will make a nice craft station, desk, and vanity all rolled into one. I've created a little side of the room for me and me only. My craft stuff, magazines, and computer all enjoy their new spot. I am really pleased with how it turned out. Let me know what you think!

I really like that cover! There is one that I reeeeeally want, but we are waiting to get the actual bed first, LOL.

Very nice! Let me know when you open the "western" shop. I'm doing my 2nd bedroom in western, so I'll come buy you out (esp. reds and browns).

Thanks, I love it too! I have been spending a ton of time in my room just inventing reasons to be in here. Erica- I am gonna redo the boys room and then start working in the kitchen and living room. Probably May or so. Then I will have over a few people who are interested in purchasing the Western stuff. There are 4 of yall. Then yall can shop or bid or fight or whatever?!

That is awesome...you really do have impeccable taste! I will miss your black toile, though :(. If I could afford to revamp...I would totally do black toile...love it!

Thank you Sarah, that is very sweet. I still have the black toile, I just added some more red in and it really looks good with the toile. My bathroom is all toile still too.
