Bedroom updates plus a new project! oh my

There have been some more updates to my youngest daughter's bedroom.  

I'll start off by showing you her new blinds, yeah not too exciting but it really is for me...see when we moved in, we kept the blinds that came with the house, hhhmmmmmm they were a tad small...but there were tons of other things to worry about...but anyhoot, since her room is being redone, new blinds were in order.....and so here they are....

Hubby and I were garage hunting, doesn't everyone do that on the weekends? okay moving on, so we saw this bed, a full size bed for $20? SOLD...

a little bit of paint later, okay a whole lot of paint later and TADA....

how pretty? really it shouldn't be this easy? well it's NOT easy but this pretty!  So, if you noticed I moved the chest, I love that this was done, and yes I'll give props to my hubby for suggesting it....Thank you honey!!!!

Oh yeah and because I can't just do ONE project at a time, while at this garage sale hunt, we found this a fireplace mantle, all we had was a glass covering on the fire pit "hole in the wall" so this was right up our alley...

Again, since I can't just do ONE thing at a time, I figured the wall of the stairs should get a make-over, in my defense, I was already thinking of this months ago, so I started to stencil it. Okay this is NOT what I wanted, it didn't turn out perfect like it's supposed to...I was going to paint it over and then hubby told me not to....so I listened

so what I did do what paint the wall - it was green - to this toasted wheat color and painted the fireplace cover black, it was gold, GOLD, what in the world...I did live with it gold for about 6 months! sheesh!!!

And because the stencil wall bothers me, it still bothers me, I had to start adding to it to  kind of hide the imperfections, am I the only one that does this? 

OH and my fireplace got a fresh new paint job with the antique white from my daughter's furniture renovation, and we SPLURGED lol, on the glass tiles to add a kick to the fireplace, I absolutely LOVE it....

Here she is all pretty for halloween....hhhhmmmmm NO this is not how it's going to stay...I bought a mirror to go over the fireplace, I changed the decor, and I have to take some pics after I hang my mirror, but I had people over this weekend so I had to dress her up!!!

So here is the beginning of I guess, my gallery wall of sorts, I still need a couple of items to hang up but I just don't want to do all frames...so I"m still on the hunt

 So it's NOT finished but this is the fun part....decorating it....

Thanks for stopping by!

TOODLES!
