My inspiration...my bedroom

I've been without bedroom furniture for quite awhile. My last "set" (wasn't a set) was literally falling apart and so we decided to toss it when we moved, thinking that we'd have new stuff very soon. Well, that's not going to happen anytime soon. So I decided, that I wasn't living in a dull room anymore...with blank walls, and flat paint, and no pretty bedding or curtains...it was a DIY project.

Here was some of my inspiration.
Headboard: I googled DIY Rustic Headboard, and this is what I found...

I really liked it...and it was super cheap to do...my husband was skeptical..(typical male, eh?)

Decor:

I loved the letters above this bed...and the headboard for that fact, but I didn't think I could get the hubs to build me a mantle.
I love white decor but I always go back to color...for one thing, white would not stay white with my boys. I saw a definition the other day to describe boys. Boys: noise with dirt on it. haha! So true!

Anyway, here is the finished product.

I should have taken a full view with the bedding...

Not sure why this looks so "sharp". Anyway, here's a close up of my 15 dollar headboard~!

I bought 3, 1x6x10's and had them cut in half.

Painted them black and sanded them down to distress them. Easy Peasy!

 Lime green shelf, painted white and dry brushed for distress.

Got the big & on clearance at Hobby Lobby because it was shattered for 3 dollars.

I put duck tape of the shattered part and patted gold metallic paint over it!

Painted the J and A.

All in all, it was a pretty cheap update. I was able to get the bedding at Stein Mart 43 dollars! Tax included. It is an 8 piece set, and I still need to get Euro pillows for 2 shams. Coupons are awesome~!!

I'm loving the fact that I can leave my bedroom door open now and it looks like a bedroom and not a room with a bedframe in it! Now, I just need to build a chest of drawer and dresser and I'll be all set! haha!

Signs of fall...

My mom came over last week. She is so talented. She took all my fall decor out and made something beautiful with it. Here's a peek.

Fireplace. My mom painted and distressed the frame for me. It will be hanging on the wall, when my husband gets back from Mexico.

I got these candles holders from a garage sale for free, because they didn't sale! yay me!

Love this. (pardon the dust)

Mom and I made "BOO" blocks! Her's are even better!

My 8X10 of my gorgeous boys!

 Such a nifty idea!!

Bumpy "punkins"! Gotta love em!

Kitchen hutch...that's a polka dot pumpkin up there!

This sums it all up!!
