Guest Room Makeover

I am finally feeling like my house is coming together. It is an awesome feeling!
I can not tell you how many colors I have tried for my guest room and nothing seemed to fit. My Mom would always say, 'you'll find a piece you can't live without and then just decorate the room around that one piece.' Well that finally happened. I was at Hobby Lobby and walked passed this octagon black & gold mirror. I fell in LOVE! That is where I got my black, white, and gold inspiration.

Next, my heart could not part with this adorable lamp! I walked passed it
at Target for a few weeks. I thought I could just somehow make a look-a-like,
but I soon realized it just wouldn't be the same (isn't that pull chain so ADORABLE?!)




You can paint a pine cone gold and make it look like it's worth money.
Gold is just so classy like that. Here I got an All a Dollar length mirror and painted it
gold. 



Curtains and bedskirts are next on the to-do list!

-The black pillow covers are $8 at Hobby Lobby!
-My cousin taught me how to make the small gold pillows (no wonder ladies open their own pillow making business. I felt so accomplished after making that small pillow, haha!)
-Black Ikea frames $2
-The gold prints on the left I got on Group Deals. When I realized I needed
two more, I just scanned Pinterest for some free gold printables.
-Remember my Annie Sloan chalk paint obsession? I took one of my parents
old writing desks and painted it. Small, but it gets the job done.

#Shaun&thegirls

This handsome hunk has been a TROOPER ---->
 


My best friend and best sister have been visiting 
the past two weeks and it has been SO amazing! Shaun's pretty good
about letting us have our girl time but every once in a while... 


...we love having 'Shaun & the girls' time!
{When SJ and I were dating/engaged, my friends 
were never dating anybody so it usually was Shaun
 and the girls. I know he missed it haha}


More on our adventures later. Just wanted to say that it's been the best two weeks.
And I love my husband. Especially when he comes into the room and pulls up a pillow,
talking in a feminine voice. He loves our girl chats ;)
