I finally got around to refinishing the nightstand I bought off of Craigslist for $5 (from a guy who was presumably living in his storage shed) and then ruined with glossy yellow paint. It looks so much better now. I love the floral detailing on it. That's the thing about antique pieces, the craftsmanship and attention to detail are worlds better than modern furniture.

Last night I was racking my brain for ideas to finish off the empty corner by my nightstand. I called up my momma and asked her to bring me this lovely vintage wicker chair that's been collecting dust in my parents' basement for a few years since their remodel. I wrapped the leftover fabric from our housewarming party photo backdrop (which I also used on the insides of my vanity drawers) around the dated green plaid cushions and added a polaroid wall of my Instagram prints, and voila, behold... my new reading nook. IT'S SO COZY.
Friends with sewing machines and skillz - please volunteer to recover these cushions for me. Right now, the fabric is just wrapped around the cushions and, as you can see, it looks kind of blah. Thanks.
It looks better in person, but here are the prints up close. I got them from Prinstagram a while back for super cheap. I've just been waiting for a place to put them.
A few other new additions:
 |
| Coffee beans for my makeup brush jar. Makes my room smell heavenly. |
 |
| Douglas got this for me. |
 |
| Homemade canvas artwork by yours truly. Idea from A Beautiful Mess. |
I'm finally happy with how my room looks. I'm learning that less is more. Next step: a white comforter!
Ciao, bella.
