Well, the new job is taking so much time! It's hard to get things accomplished at work and then come home to the house. We are making progress, though.
My birthday was earlier this month and Jordan took me to Garden Ridge (what I describe as the Big Lot's version of Bed Bath and Beyond) and got some great stuff for our bedroom! We love to travel so we bought some vintage looking trunks to use as nightstands and an awesome mural to use as a head board. It is actually a tri-fold privacy screen, but I think with the right ingenuity it is going to look amazing! We also got some gorgeous lamps. We didn't want the traditional style, so I think these are great.
The mural is a collage of Paris's monuments (Eiffel Tower, Arc De Truimph), plus french postcards and stamps, and the lamps have a fleur de lis carved into the metal... Even though we are trying to go for world travel, the trend right now is for French inspired - fleur de lis, Paris, etc.. so we are starting to get a little over-saturated with the Paris theme. We are going to have to focus on some of our other favorite destinations. It is so hard! The Paris stuff is so cute - and SO plentiful!
