Chair Update

I think I previously posted about my long, ongoing search to do some updates to my larger than life master bedroom.  The chair from Target arrived on Monday and I could hardly contain my excitement to see if it was all I hoped it would be.  I dragged myself to the gym for a quick workout and came back to get to work.  It was surprisingly fairly easy to put together but did take me a good hour to get it right.  I did it all by myself - of course Bailey didn't help and chose to go upstairs for a quiet nap instead. 

Here is a picture I took from my iPhone with the chair in front of the window.  I also moved a small end table from another room to sit beside it for now until I can come up with something better.  I think I will eventually get another chair, but I'm happy with the outcome.  What do you think?

Decorating in a dream world

After much searching, I finally picked out a chair to add to our Sitting Room in our Master Bedroom.  I think it will look good with my brown silk curtains behind it as a backdrop.  Plus it will add some color to a room with off-white walls, a cream bedspread, and everything else in the room being white, cream, goldish or brown!  I LOVE neutrals!  Who knows, maybe if I love it, I will eventually get another one.  For now, I'm hoping to set this up by the window with a small accent table and maybe a picture or something cute.

Things I'd still like to do in the room (AKA what I would do with a huge room and unlimited funds):

• Paint (Yeah right, my ceilings are like 20 feet tall!)
• A picture wall to put all our wedding pictures to good use and prevent them from being scattered around the house
• New TV and something to put it on or in, or better yet mount to the wall
• In my dream world, a 4 poster bed would look amazing in our bedroom.  Unfortunately new bedroom furniture is not something we have in the plans any time soon!  Wouldn't this look GORGEOUS?!  I LOVE this room!

That's all the daydreaming a girl can do for one day.  I'm off to enjoy a glass of wine and the Grey's Anatomy 2-Hour Finale!

Weekend Updates

I hope (every)one had a great weekend!  We had a friend in town so spent some time by the pool.  I spent a little too much time with not a high enough number of sunscreen, so am now nursing a nasty sunburn.  It was actually quite painful to wear a bra today...miserable!

Saturday night we headed to Jim & Nicks BBQ - yum!  I was good and had a salad, but you cannot resist those cheese biscuits!  I was ticked that our waitress only brought one basketful...how rude!

On Sunday I continued my search for an accent chair to create a sitting room in my huge, seemingly empty master bedroom.  I have gone in person to 2 TJ Maxx, 2 HomeGoods, 1 Marshalls, 1 Ross, and Target and have visited online to Macys, Pottery Barn, Crate & Barrel, CB2, West Elm, Z Gallerie, and Target.  Exhausting!  I still cannot find anything that I LOVE for my price range ($100-$200).  The reality is that I don't know what I want to do with the space and end up with impromptu ugly furniture (i.e. the chairs in my sunroom...would love to re-cover those thangs).  The search continues....

Heidi

Is this girl for real?  Does she think she looks good?  I'm currently debating which is the worst line from The Hills:

"Surgery hug" or "I want them to be H's for Heidi!"

Really?  Really?!?!

Absent

Apologies for my absence!  I have been here:

More interesting stuff to come soon, I promise!
