A New Addition

Remember the list of things to do ever since the room change?  Well, I stopped by the Goodwill Outlet the other day and found an adorable chair that fits right in with the décor in our library side of the "other" room.  I think it fits in amazingly, especially with the pillow I drug out of our linen closet.  Once again, I love being able to "shop" in my own linen closet.

Having a little reading nook is so wonderful!  I'm excited to curl up in the rocking chair while reading a good book!
Since I had the momentum to getting things checked off the list, I also hung the gallery wall in our bedroom.  I grabbed a bunch of frames and canvases I had laying around, figured out an arrangement I liked, and hung them up.  I want to change out the red butterfly picture and add something next to the flower, above the "I am his and he is mine" canvas.  Even with the changes I want to make, I'm glad it's up and off the floor.

It's so great to see the list dwindling down, especially for so cheaply!
  • Lounge chair and ottoman for the corner between the book cases.  DONE! ($15)
  • Bedside table for Nate's side of the bed and then paint the two of them.
  • Hang a gallery wall in the bedroom. DONE! (Free!)
  • New - Change up/create some of the artwork on the gallery wall.
  • Decorate the "other" room.
  • Get new bedding for the bedroom.  The comforter we have now is ripped and yucky.  DONE!  ($35)
  • Paint the dresser in the bedroom.  (Not shown.  I'll have to get a picture from the other angle at some point)

  1. Love this chair! It has a great shape and looks great in the space. I really want to create a reading nook in our room. We have the space, but I need to figure out how to create one there.

  10. It fits in that corner so perfectly! What a great nook... surrounded by books! Your collection of pictures on the wall goes together perfectly. It's sometimes challenging to put together a collection of things and have them look just right, but you've nailed it!

  15. Love the chair! I keep stopping by thrift stores, trying to find a dresser. I've had quite the success with yard sales and thrift stores in the past. It's such an adventure to buy things this way.
