the bedroom.

As I mentioned in my last post, my sister found me the BEST garage sale find of the season this weekend.  
She knows that I have been searching for the perfect mid century modern bedroom set for about the past five years.  I have searched everywhere but have never found the perfect set for us. 
Plus, all of the ones I find in the shops are always over $1000 and that's just not in the ole budget when we had perfectly good bedroom furniture to begin with.
So, my sister calls me Saturday and says she found a bedroom set with my name written all over it for $100.  I was so excited!!
My sister, being the wheeler and dealer that she is talked them down to $75 which made me even more excited.
It all worked out so perfectly.  She and her husband had borrowed a truck and were able to bring right over to us...
With a coat of Old English, my new bedroom has now been transformed to a little piece of heaven on earth....






This little yellow shelf was originally from nursery when I was a baby.  My mom said that it came with their house when they bought it in the 70's.  I love the shapes and color of it and I use it to house special little pieces from our lives...It's definitely one of my favorite pieces in our house.



I am so in love with it and it just makes the whole room more "us."
Our bedroom is now officially my favorite room in the house. 
A HUGE thank you to Nicole for scoring me such a great deal and being the best sister ever.

I hope you enjoyed this little bedroom tour.

Spring Cleaning

Today was absolutely beautiful, it was very "spring-ish."
We opened the windows and spent four hours doing a deep spring cleaning in the condo.
We literally got rid of soooo much stuff.  I can see a garage sale in our near future for sure :)
We cleaned everything and it feels so great!
A clean house can make such a difference!

The Studio





The Bedroom




I also did a little bit of cleaning and decorating in our little mini house too :)  Here is a peak at the studio and the living room of my little modern dollhouse.  I still don't have a lot of furniture or decor for the dollhouse but I do love what I have acquired so far.



So yeah, our house is so clean!
I am really enjoying it.
I have to do some painting in my studio, it needs to be a more neutral color for selling and showing and I am ok with that because I am ready for a change in there.
Is anyone looking to buy an adorable condo in St. Louis??

Have a wonderful weekend friends!

mid century modern

Adam and I have been on and off with finding a bigger place to move into.
There are WAY too many factors that have to fall into place for it to happen.
If it happens, I will be so excited.
If it doesn't happen, then it wasn't mean to be.
In the meantime though, I have been dreaming of furniture to fill our new house with....
MCM furniture to be exact :)
Here are some inspiring photos of MCM furniture that I pinned on Pintrest :)











My grandma's house was completely decked out in MCM furniture so it will always have a special place in my heart <3
What is your favorite style of furniture?
