Hello Monday

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great weekend and are looking forward to this week, which is week two of 2013! 

This week I'm sharing with you a few inspirations for our bedroom redo. We have made the first step of the redo... choosing the paint color! We will be painting this week and switching out some furniture. 

An element that I am adding to our room is a little reading nook in a corner of our room. It's right by the large sliding glass doors so tons of natural light for reading and it's the perfect space. I'm not sure exactly how I want it to look and how I will hold some of my books so I browsed online and decided to choose three inspirations and pull a little of something from each of them.

I love the angle of the chair to the window. There is natural light behind and to the side. I don't have an awesome window seat like they do, but I can mostly achieve and angle like this.

The chair! The ottoman! So comfy. I still have to find a chair and see if I have room for an ottoman, but if I could I would choose these. I definitely want to put my feet up while reading.

I like the placement of the trunk tucked behind the chair to the side and it still being accessible. We have a trunk that isn't in use right now so I may use that to store my books and keep some accessories on top. I can't have a ton of storage space or I'll put too much crap there and that is definitely not what I want. Ha. 

What are your inspirations for the week? 

Hello Monday

What a lovely Monday! I would have posted sooner, but we had some last minute fun come our way. We ended up going to the local Children's Museum to celebrate NYE with a balloon and confetti drop at noon. So much fun! All of the kiddos were cheering and laughing. Love the innocence of children. 

This weeks Monday inspiration is a remodel for our home. Our goal this year is to remodel and update a part of our home every three months starting with our bedroom. It is currently a lovely {read: horrid} lime green color with no matching furniture and disorganized beyond... well, its just bad. Its basically how it was before I met the hubbs. 

Yeah, bad. Oh and nevermind all of those clothes and messy bed and... stuff. The color really is more brilliant than what the photo shows, but I am wanting something more light, airy... clean. After browsing around the web and Pinterest for what I like I found some great grey and yellow inspirations. For Christmas, Richard bought us new sheets from Target after seeing some of my bedroom inspiration pins.  

I love them! They will be perfect in the new bedroom. This week we are going out and getting paint. I would like to paint the walls a light grey to keep the room open and full of light. We have a huge slider out to our back patio so our room gets tons of light during the day. We will also be slowly selecting new furniture and repainting the dresser a buttery yellow then antique it since it is such a nice and heavy piece. 

Here are some inspirations for our room

As you can see, we have a long way to go, but our goal this month is to get the wall painted and the headboard made and put up. Then we will start on the furniture in February and finish the touches off in March. Absolutely cannot wait to get this started!!
