bedroom gallery wall before and after

I wasn't kidding when I said our bedroom hasn't been touched since we moved in. This was our sad little corner just a few days ago.

I've been inspired by all of the lovely gallery walls I've seen surrounding TVs and other furniture and decided to take all of our "leftover" artwork and create one in the bedroom. Charlie wasn't home to help with the measuring/placement on the wall, and I didn't want to wait for him, so I decided to wing it and hope for the best. The gallery wall gods must have been shining down on me because I got the configuration right the very first time and didn't have to move a single frame. I have a couple more pieces that I'm waiting to get framed that I will to add to the right.

There are a few more touches to add, like pom pom trim for the curtains, a shelf for plants, and changing out the hardware on our dresser with these Lulu knobs from Anthro, but I think she's coming together nicely!

friday finds

This shop may be old news, but I stumbled upon jones and vandermeer 100% curious goods last night, and found some amazing fabrics that are incredibly affordable (most under $9/yard!). These are just a few of my favorites. They also have a number of fabrics that are absolutely perfect for the little ones, and I'll definitely be using in my next nursery design. Make sure to check out their website to see more.

Here are a few instas from this week. Keep an eye out next week for a cocktail recipe that I'll be whipping up. I've been infusing vodka with spiced tea for a drink I've had in my head for awhile.

 This fabulous box of goodies arrived from Shop Sweet Lulu. I'll be using the decor for Charlie's birthday coming up later this month!

 I paid a visit to the new Sprinkles Cupcake ATM. It was also my first time to have one of their cupcakes. I had the dark chocolate with chocolate frosting and let me just say... I get it.

I've now had to resist going back every day since. They're also opening up Sprinkles Ice Cream and Sprinkles Cookies next door. Things could get dangerous around here.

Our bedroom was the last room to get decorated in our old apartment, and it was turning out that way in our new place, too. So I've been spending some time getting her all spiffy. More pics will be coming soon!
