Guess What Is Coming to My HOUSE?

Yesterday I wrote about the beautiful sconces that would look so pretty in my living room. The reason the timing was not right is because that room really is not decorated. It has a couple of wicker chairs and some odds and ends to make it look presentable, but it is not done exactly how I would like it,

“Someday.” I seem to be using that term a lot these days!!

Someday those sconces would look absolutely perfect in what I have planned for that room.

For those of you who know my hubby, you know he is a man among men in so many ways!! I was finishing my post up when he came in to say goodnight and he saw the sconces. He said, “ Those are really pretty!”  I agreed and told him how much I loved them, but the timing was just not right to get them now.

He left the room and came back in and put the credit card down on the desk and told me to get them if I really wanted them. I could not believe his sweet gesture. I almost ordered them, but still a bit hesitant thought I should sleep on it.

I slept on it and the first thing this morning I ordered them and they are now on there way to my house!!(Inserting Very-Happy Dance)

I will let you all know when they get here, I am sooooo excited I can hardly stand it!!

I did mention I am married to a Prince didn’t I? What a sweetie!

They Say Timing Is Everything!!

I want these sconces so badly!! What is it that they say? Timing is everything . Right now is just not the right time, but Oh how I wish it was because these would be paid for and on their way to my house. They would look so pretty in my Living Room which is what I like to call, "Understated Elegance." I think that describes these sconces perfectly!

The X Bench in the Master Bedroom!!

I gave you all a little sneak peek of my Son and DIL’s master bedroom in my post on the X bench at such a great value here. If you need or want an X Bench I highly recommend you read my previous post.

We are not done with the complete design, but we are well on our way. The only thing left to do is to order the furniture. She has decided on the furniture but is still going back and forth about the color. It comes in cream or black. She is leaning toward the black since she likes a sharp look. I think I would  go with cream since I tend to like a softer look. Let me know what you think would look good with all the existing pieces!! Black or Cream?

I know you all loved the drapery panels. Surprise! We did not put them on the windows, instead we put them on the walls outside the alcove that the bed sits in. I would like to see the two small side walls painted the dark grey also. I think it will make the whole back wall look more cohesive, but the final choice always goes to the homeowner.

The drapery panels are a thin, soft dark grey velvet with a large over- scaled damask print in a very light soft taupe. They were ordered from Anthropologie. I love that store. We knew we wanted to do a grey in our color scheme and once we found the drapes the whole design started to unfold.

The headboard was actually purchased awhile ago from Horchow. It is two separate mirrors hinged together and hung as a headboard.

The bedding is from none other than Target by Fieldcrest. I love this bedding it is so sharp and classic with the dark grey stitching. She chose to do dark grey sheets to accent the grey.

This is a lampshade also from Anthropologie. I died when I found this!! We had to have it even though at the time we did not have a lamp. I had a vision of a chrome or silver metal floor lamp to go with the chrome on the X bench that I had in mind for the foot of the bed. I told my DIL we would both look for a slim lined metal floor lamp. She found it first and I think it looks great!!

I found the perfect chair to sit in the corner on line at Tarjay. The colors were perfect and it worked so well with the overall design and was extremely budget friendly.

The cute lumbar pillow was found by my DIL. Isn’t is perfect? The chair actually comes with its own matching lumbar pillow, but she likes this one better.

Once the furniture arrives the finishing touches will be a chandelier in the middle of the room. I like this one from overstock.

I love the clean lines of the chrome with the elegance of the drop crystals which will tie in with the mirrored headboard, the elegant side drapes and the crystal lamps that we purchased for the nightstands.

This is the lamp base with the existing shade. I think we might change the lamp shade out to a white drum shade for a more sleek look against the elegant side drapery panels.

There you have it!!! Not quite finished, but well on our way!!
