My Grandma has spoiled me all my life. And just because I’m grown up doesn’t mean I still am not on the receiving end of some serious spoiling!! Awhile back she arrived at my house with a box as big as a Geo Metro to surprise me. What with you might ask? This!!
It's our anniversary present! The big 5 is coming our way in a little less than a month. The short story behind this is that our dog chewed a hole in our other comforter. In the quest for something new and less haggard, this beautiful set jumped off the pages of a JCPenny’s ad. I was in love! I merely asked Grandma and my Mom’s opinion about this set and the next day Grandma went and placed the order! She’s sneaky I tell you!!
Anyway…this new set was the perfect excuse to update our bedroom a bit. Change is good right? We picked a pretty light blue color and I got busy painting, cleaning and re-organizing our room. The best part? All of the pillows and shams were part of it. No need to go out and get creative and spend $20 a pillow to mix and match. It was already done for us!
This also inspired me to put some art/décor on the walls. Our house is lacking in this department in a few rooms…our bedroom included. So…with some self taken photos and a few new frames…we plan to put a little touch of us on the wall. I love it because A) the photos are ones I took of our magnolia tree in bloom this year. B)it's a nice touch that is versatile and easy enough to change with seasons or as the mood strikes. Pictures of the finished product coming soon!
Thank you Grandma Flo. This was the best anniversary present! We now have a new rejuvenated space to enjoy at the end of the day!!
Here are a few before and afters.

This is the exact same color that Zach and I want to put in our bedroom/bathroom in the new house! We LOVE light blue and chocolate brown...great choice :-)
Looks wonderful! I love how tranquil it is!
