a few quick updates

Hi all! I am in a major funk. It’s raining, I’m in the middle of making reservations and plans for our summer vacation, calling around for the best deal on new tires for our van, hating how expensive everything is, and the day is half over. I almost forgot I had a blog this week :)

Can we talk ceiling fans in the bedroom?

I know some of you have strong opinions about them, and I don’t think many are pretty, but when I began to tackle the master bedroom, I asked my husband if there was anything in there he had strong feelings about. He said as long as the ceiling fan stayed, he trusted me with the rest. I would love a pretty light fixture in there, but we love air flowage in there too, especially in the summer. So, the ceiling fan isn’t going anywhere.

It’s not BAD, it’s white and blends in, but the glass shade seemed a little genie-ish.

 

So, I picked up a new glass shade at Lowes, and I think it freshens it up a bit. Let’s not dwell on the dust though??

We have to make every inch count in our small bedroom. I have a nightstand and my husband gets a dresser on his side because we need since clothing storage is very limited in here. I  added this metal book pocket to the side to make it work as a nightstand. Thank you again, TJ. You can see the one in our bathroom here.

 

Our lamps are from an old Target Global Bazaar (RIP global bazaar…I miss you every January). The bases are nice and solid, but the shades needed a little change:

I picked up an inexpensive white shade at Target, added some jute trim, and it was just the update our reading lamps needed.

The room is pretty much finished, but there has been a major fiasco with the window treatments. *sigh* I told you if there is a way to make things as difficult as possible, I’ll find it. I’ll fill you in later :)

Happy Thursday~
