[My Project Notebook]

(I always have a ton of decorating and DIY ideas floating around in my head. Many of them end up in my project notebook that I keep in my nightstand. I thought it would be fun if I shared some of my ideas with you all each week.)

I'm planning a sort of mini master bedroom makeover.  There are some key pieces that I want (like an antique mantel and a second quilt for my bed) that I know will take time to find in my price range, so the entire process will, most likely, be done in stages.


1. Old layered mirrors--I can definitely achieve this with thrift store finds.

2. I love the mix of a light wall and dark wood furniture.

3. A mantel in the bedroom would add such great character to the room.

4. I love all the layers in this picture--twigs, silver, old, new.

5. Combining elements of glamour and rustic design creates such a wonderful collected look.

What projects have you got planned for this week?

    I love this glimpse into your head and your inspirational notebook. It's one of my favorite days of the week over here. I love the idea of layering mirrors. I never would have thought to do that. I can't wait to see what you do with your master bedroom.

    I love numbers 2 and 4. The elements on the bedside table in 2 is gorgeous!

    You found some great inspiration! We love our fireplace and think one on the bedroom would be amazing! My favorite photo would be the last one. The vintage map and the bench at the foot of the bed really make the room!
