On Monday, I felt like I was making very little progress. But the good news is that today (Wednesday night), I’m feeling much better and can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I visited a few stores on Monday while I was off work, but I didn’t really find anything for the room. So I did what any woman does. Came home, loaded up my cart on Amazon and Target and hit “purchase.” Everything, minus picture frames and a headboard, should be here by Friday!

The new rug and rug pad look great! This rug is surprisingly soft for the price I paid (from Overstock). It definitely needs the pad, but for under $200 for an 8×10, I call it a win. I realized over the weekend that I needed some throw pillows for the sofa (pardon the wrinkled slip cover below!). Amazon to the rescue and these beauties arrived just in time for me to take a pic for this post.

The Ikea Rast received a new coat of navy paint (Naval by Sherwin Williams). I looked around for a smaller nightstand, but didn’t find anything I liked for the price I wanted to pay. I still think this is a little bulky for the space, but it will do for now.

I thought the below pic was too cute not to share. This is his “stop taking pictures and take me for a walk” look.

To-do List:

• Paint room (mostly done – still needs some touch-ups)
• Schedule electrician (Done!)
• Update outlets (Done!)
• Purchase bedding, pillows, slip cover and bed skirt (Done!)
• Find dresser, headboard and nightstand; paint/update if needed (Done, minus the headboard)
• Replace dog-eaten blinds (Done!)
• Fix cushions on sofa (Done!
• Possibly paint the closet & closet ceiling (TBD)
• Figure out wall decor (in process)
• Hang mirrors, wall decor (in process)
• Iron slip cover, bedskirt, pillow shams (I hate ironing)
• Style!

See you next week!
