A Few More Updates to Our Master Bedroom

We got this gold ringed chest for our master bedroom a couple of years ago from Soft Surroundings and it's been one of my absolute favorite pieces. I've played around with quite a few different options of pictures/mirrors to try above it but hadn't found the perfect finishing touch until I ran across this mirror! I love the size, shape and color of it! Now I've got to find a piece of art to hang where the other smaller gold mirror is in our bedroom because two gold mirrors right near each other is a tad much -ha! 

The cowhide rug has been under our dining room table for the last several months but I ended up moving it back up here a couple weeks ago and I think I am keeping it up here at least until I find a really large rug that has the right colors for this room. 

Three years later, our bombshell hydrangea bushes are finally blooming! I am so excited about it! It has been so much fun being able to fill vases with tons of branches and yet the bushes themselves still remain so full of blooms. I took these photos about ten minutes after I cut these branches in the heat of the day when they tend to wilt a little bit. Because of the lighting in this room I had to take the photos right then before all the natural light left in the room, however an hour or so later they had all bounced back and they've lasted almost ten days so far.

Our Angel artwork from Deann Art that sits above our mirrored chest is still one of the pieces in our home that we get asked most about. This particular painting is discontinued right now but she has some other incredible pieces available. We flipped our French Market Quilt over to the other side for summer to make the room feel a little lighter.

Our Master Bedroom with some Christmas Touches

We added some cozy touches to our master bedroom for the winter and a little bit of sparkle for Christmas. The first thing we did was add this gorgeous French Market Quilt in the color Limestone from Soft Surroundings. It is even more beautiful in real life. We also added two of the Cable Knit Euro Shams in white. We got two of them last year and they are my all time favorite pillows! We used the ones we got last year down on our sofa and love now having another set to have on our bed. They are so cozy and I love the buttons (which I think are technically the backside but I love how they look so much I always use them as the front). I love how these touches add a cozy touch to last through the winter. 

And then for the Christmas holidays we added a few little sparkly touches like the gold ornaments.

We found all the wrapping paper and ribbon at HomeGoods. 

The beautiful angel canvas is from the talented Deann. 

The details on the quilt are so beautiful! And I love the other side of it as well. In fact, I think I may switch it to that side at some point.

The ornaments are all from HomeGoods and as well as the tree and the gold tray. The boxes are from the Sugar Paper line at Target and the beautiful trophy urn is from The Arrow's Nest.

Love this trophy urn from The Arrowed Nest and the jewelry box from HomeGoods.

Adding Some Cozy Winter Elements

 

With the cold weather coming we have officially moved all of our pumpkins that were indoors out to our front porch and we have started adding some cozy winter touches like more cable knits, evergreen and paperwhites throughout the house to start prepping for the holidays (don't worry - we haven't decorated our tree yet).

 

I think my favorite additions to the house this winter are these huge Cable Knit Euro Shams from Soft Surroundings. I LOVE them! I planned on using them on our guest bed but loved them so much wanted them downstairs so I could see and use them every day. I put one on each end of our sectional and love leaning against this one each night and snuggling up under the pom pom throw. As is probably pretty obvious from this blog, I am a sucker for pom poms and this is no exception. I have to say over the last year I have become a huge fan of Soft Surroundings. The quality of the items we have gotten from them (which includes everything from a dresser to a dress!) has been really high and their customer service has been awesome!

 I have been wanting some birch candle stick holders for a while now and am quite excited about these ones! They are a nice addition from fall all the way through the end of winter - not just for the holidays. I used some scented tea lights in them for now but think I am going to get some pillar candles to use instead at some point.

And these little knit pillows are another favorite of mine! I added one to each of the chairs next to the sideboard in here. I will have more photos of the dining room to share later this week (and a new Christmas sign that I am quite excited about!) 

I also wanted to let you know that we have a new print in stock:

I hope you all have a wonderful Tuesday! I'll be back later this week with more photos of our dining room and our newest wood sign just in time for Christmas!
