Master Bedroom Update

Believe it or not, I have not done anything (drastic) to our master bedroom since I moved here 2+ years ago! I know, it doesn't sound like a big deal but if you know me, you know I can't just leave things they way there.  I get bored often. And, to be honest, I really like our master bedroom the way it is.

But then, I found a duvet from Pottery Barn that was screaming my name.  Which led to making some minor updates to our master bedroom.

Here is a look at my master plan!

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5

I don't plan to change the wall color - I absolutely love Sherwin Williams Repose Gray! It is  a bright color that reflect so much natural light in our south-facing bedroom. 

The duvet from Pottery Barn is called the Pearson Snowflake Duvet.  The word 'snowflake' has kind of been tricking my mind into thinking this duvet is winter-only. But I don't think it's that winter-y and with a throw pillow covered in this Kate Spain fabric, I think I will love it!

I also have a few 8x10 wedding photos on the way from Shutterfly that I'll add to the space.

Hopefully I'll have this space pulled together next weekend and then you'll see the after!

High Five For Friday

One | I've been working at finishing a bottle of wine this week.  It's been good. :)

Two | I gave into temptation and bought the duvet cover from Pottery Barn that I've had my eye on for awhile.

Three| One my way to get the duvet cover, I got rock star parking.  This NEVER happens at this mall.

Four| I am still plugging away at greeting cards for an etsy shop.  This week I am working on creating sets of cards.

Five| I am such a push over.  I let Axe in the house while I was making supper. She's not much help but she is so well behaved. 

Hope you all have had a great week!

This week on the blog..

I shared some of the paint colors I've used in our home.

I am offering my blogging presentation as a free download. Enjoy!

Blogging Workshop Recap and FREE Presentation Download!

Last week I was so fortunate to have the opportunity to present two workshops on blogging at the Iowa Travel Association conference in Waterloo, Iowa!  My workshop was part of a series of "Sixty on Social" workshop options that participants could attend regarding the use of social media to drive their businesses. 

Even though my blog focus is interior design some of the same basic blogging etiquette applies as do ideas to drive business through blogging just like I've used to build my e-design business.

The feedback on my one-hour workshop was positive and since many of you expressed interest, I am making this presentation available to you!  Just keep in mind that the ideas are my own, unless otherwise noted, and I offer suggestions that (unfortunately) don't guarantee business success.  How's that for a disclaimer?! :)

If you have thought of starting a blog or a business as an extension of your blog, hopefully you find this presentation helpful!

Paint Colors In My Home

If you ask me, its hard to choose paint colors so I am always on the look out for paint color recommendations.  Over the past year or so I've come across a few paint colors that I love and have used in my own home.  If you're on the hunt for the perfect paint color, hopefully this helps!
