I love my husband ever so much. I am so blessed that he lets me do whatever I like in the decorating department. I took it for granted, cause my dad was the same way with my mom. But I have learned that there a quite a few men out there who have a pretty big opinion on how they want things, and definitely don't approve of girly stuff. Kevin is such a good sport. I made our bedroom chamber very very girly and I love it. It makes me smile every time I walk in. And I just love starting my day with a nicely made bed. ;)

Faux Flowers from my Hubby.
Where I used to sit with my laptop (Before it Broke) in the chair Kevin got me when we were first married.
So here are the pictures of the newly painted room. It was already a similar shade of yellow, but we had to patch some of the drywall from construction and we added some trim around the ceiling, doors & windows and panelling that needed to be painted white. I didn't want to spend a lot of money sprucing the place up, so I used some leftover flat white as primer for the woodwork and then bought a cheap gallon of white semigloss for a top coat. For the walls, my friend Bethany gave me some leftover yellow paint, it was half full, so I added white, enough to fill the gallon and it couldn't have turned out more lovely. I am so happy that our room is finally finished. I still need to paint our old dresser white, but it's definitely not high on my list of priorities right now. Everything else is the same, nothing new was added I wanted to stay within a budget. Same furniture and linens etc. I spent 11 dollars total. I would like to make a wreath to hang above our bed, it's looking pretty blah as we don't have a headboard. But that is yet another piece of furniture I would rather not lug about if we move. So for now I think a wreath would be quite nice. Not sure what I will use for flowers. I would like to stick some sea shells in there too of course.
What a sweetheart! He knew I would like it, cause it's hot pink.

"Jackie" The Rabbit that Lily and I made together one Easter. 



Vintage sheets from my friend Karen's Grandmother. She was spring cleaning, and knew I would love them. They miss match perfectly with the rest of our bedding.

Beautiful! It's so tastefully done, I can't imagine anyone complaining about living there.
My husband is the same way. If he got to decorate our house it would be full of Star Wars stuff.
I love vintage sheets and china. My grandma has already informed me that I will someday get her china.
Very pretty....I adore the vintage sheets. Your husband sounds a gem...
very pretty and restful. Your hubby is great, mine is the type who is into being involved in the design of the house, and our ideas differ from time to time/
I love it ALL...and especially the white desk, pink chair and those VINTAGE SHEETS! They are to die for! I can just feel their cool smoothness!!
XOXO

cozy reading chair ;-)
What a sweet husband and I love your beautiful space!!!
Well, I have a wonderful husband, but this would never happen here! LOL! it looks lovely and calming. I have an idea for a great craft wreath that would be really inexpensive to make...email me if you are interested.
I was driving home from California (from my sister) and was listening to the radio and this song "free" by ginny owens came on and I thought about you and living somewhere in California. This is a great song I always love to listen to while looking at your blog and it made me smile. thanks
very pretty! I love yellow but have a hard time coordinating with other stuff. I love the fabrics in your room, reminds me of Rachel's shabby chic. I love her line of stuff.
Your bedroom is absolutely beautiful. I also love your china. I saved up $600 dollars once to buy a gorgeous vintage tea set and like an idiot had the $$ in my purse...it was stolen out of my shopping cart. Sigh...but your china is exactly the kind of set I was looking for :)
I ♥ your style...it looks so beautiful and calm!
