Three Frames

The kids and I packed it up, and headed to Bed, Bath, & Beyond this morning. I rarely visit this store, possibly because it is an accident waiting to happen. As we breezed through, though, I spotted three 8 x 10 frames in a dark finish for our bedroom. They are pre-matted, so now I just need to find three great images to frame. I've been checking out images from shutterstock, but I'm not surely what motif I even want. It would be nice to have some scenic shots from places we've visited, but we haven't really taken great quality pictures ourselves. Should I go with three shots from the same location? Or mix it up?

Bedroom Underway

I love World Market for its affordability and great cheeses. Yesterday, my Mom and I stopped by to check things out, and I bought this large mirror on a bit of a whim. The mirror had a few scrapes, so I haggled with the manager for a discount. He tried to give me just 20% off, but I ended up paying $110, which was 40% off the original price. Little did he know that any Martha Stewart fan would just fill those tiny scratches with shoe polish and **voilla**! The mirror isn't quite the full-length that I envisioned for our bedroom, but I took it because the wood frame was significant and beautiful, the price was right, and on second thought, a mirror out of reach of Tommy's Bob the Builder tool set is probably a good thing.

Pottery Barn Dream

In my dream bedroom, I would replace my furniture and actually know what cool things to hang on the walls. Here is the bed we covet: I would get these night tables, reminiscent of a bed & breakfast we stayed at for our anniversary once in Door County, WI. I'd like one of those massive, vertical wall mirrors, a comfortable reading chair, and cute lamps. Someday?
