I've shown several photos of the in-progress master bedroom makeover. One question I keep getting is where did I get the chair in the office area.  Well my friends, the answer is Overstock.   I originally was going for gray chaises lounge chairs in this space but realized I couldn't afford it and we didn't really need two chairs.  I loved this chair when I first saw it.  It has straight contemporary lines with a mid-century flair.   It is more neutral than I was going for but I can easily change the look with a throw pillow.  It also keeps this corner nice and bright. Look at those lines.  The legs are stunners. The chair is very comfortable and even the kids love to jump in it while I'm working on the computer.  The fabric is linen, which I was expecting to be more flimsy, but so far it's held up great.  It seems very durable.  The low armrests don't seem practical but actually don't bother me.  When I look...

I was browsing H&M Home for some new throw pillows.  They always have some cute ones and the prices are pretty affordable. 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 11 / 12 To all the mothers out there, have a great Mother's Day!  I don't have anything planned but I do intend to do nothing all weekend!     You're reading Fun Pillows At H&M by Andrea, originally posted on Decorating Cents .  If you've enjoyed this post, be sure to follow Andrea on Facebook , Pinterest , Bloglovin , and Hometalk .

As my little boy grows older (he'll be two this month), I keep thinking of ways I could change his room around.  I'm afraid he'll be out of his crib sooner than we think.  We've already removed the front rail from his crib so we're using it as a toddler bed.  I still love the gray and orange color scheme. Here's a fun boy's room I put together. metal letter / bedding / headboard / pouf / dresser / pendant / crate / orange pillow / blue pillow / mirror / lamp / metal exit sign   You're reading Industrial Boy's Room by Andrea, originally posted on Decorating Cents .  If you've enjoyed this post, be sure to follow Andrea on Facebook , Pinterest , Bloglovin , and Hometalk .

If you've been reading this blog for a while, then you know I love a good accent wall.  It can add some contrast to an otherwise flat room.  Our master bedroom has a very light wall color.  I love how much sunlight it gets during the day but it can make the room feel washed out sometimes.  I wanted to give it some depth.  I thought a darker wall color behind the bed would do exactly that.   I love the contrast of the darker wall now.  I wanted to change the metal wall art that was above the bed.  It was dark and thought something lighter would be better.  I spotted this mirror at Target.  It fits perfectly in this spot.  The mirror is an antique gold color so it contrasts against the gray.  I like how it reflects the chandelier too.   I can see the end ahead.  A few more details to add before I think I can call it done.

It's Friday.  It's Friday.  The end of the week and the last day.  At least for the work week anyway. You may remember I bought three placemats from Target.  Two of them I stuffed here and they easily became pillows for the master.  The third pillow wasn't double sided.  It was only one layer so I couldn't just stuff it. Since it was only one layer, I needed another fabric to become the back.  I had some extra fabric leftover from an Ikea curtain that I could use.  It was about 54 inches wide and each side was finished.  This was perfect for an envelope closure.  I didn't have any extra zippers laying around so that wasn't an option.  I wanted to use what I had. The placemat was 14 x 19 and wasn't quite big enough for my 12 x 20 pillow insert.  Using a seam ripper, I opened up all the seams to give me the biggest surface area possible. Since my pillow insert was 12 x 20, I cut my fabric ...

Pink headboards always draw me in when browsing online.  They really add a striking pop of color to a bedroom.  I was never one for light pinks but I tend to gravitate towards hot pink while shopping in stores.  These headboards may make you think twice about the color.  Whenever I makeover my daughter's bedroom, I think a pink headboard would be a winner. I really love this tufted version. This pink talks in this black and white bedroom. Pink really looks great in this shared bedroom .  Even the ceiling is pink! This painted version really steals the show. This painted metal one glams up a big girl room. Hello pretty curved nailhead headboard .  The best part?  It's a DIY! This is one gorgeous pink and white patterned headboard.  I wouldn't mind having one for myself. What do you think about pink?  Too girly or just the right amount of color?   You're reading Pink ...

I've been racking my brain trying to figure out what pillow formation I want to use on our bed in the master.  I've been searching online for fabrics and even Etsy for pillow covers.  I showed you a while ago the pillow cover I liked at West Elm but it sold out before I could get my hand on it. Well last week I was walking though Target.  On a last minute whim, I walked through the kitchen linens.  They had a great assortment of cloth napkins and tablecloths.  I came across a few I liked and grabbed them up. I loved the patterns on these and the two fabrics coordinate perfectly.  I knew throw pillows were in order. To make them I grabbed my seam ripper and a few old toss pillows I had stuffed in a closet and wasn't using anymore.  I started by using the seam ripper to open a side seam.  I made the hole just big enough to get my hand in. I opened an old pillow and removed the stuffing.  I fluffed it up some and stu...
