from shabby to rustic. . . gorgeous bedrooms to drool over!

 beautiful bedrooms?

makes me want to jump right in the picture and

 plop myself on the bed

with a good book and a mug of cocoa:)

i found a few awesome rooms

and while i should just let the pictures speak for themselves, 

i think i might have to ramble about my

favorite things in the room.

sorry:)

 do you love it?

this one is the room i might most be able to duplicate.

here's what i love about it:

1.  THE MATCHING DOG BEDS!!!!

oh my goodness. . .those are too cute:)

i need them!

(for real:)

2.  the white shabby chic furniture.

mine looks similar but is dark wood.

(i see a painting project in my future:)

3.  love the walls (mine are chocolate too)

and the dark hardwood floors

basically, i love it all:)

oh. heck.

check this out. . . .

 this room must be a display in a store,

cause it's a bit jam packed. . . .

but with amazing things!

i love:

1.  the number boxes

2.  the color/decor scheme of rustic chic.

3.  the art work...don't you love it?

4.  the chandeliers

5.  the pillows (especially the burlap ones)

6.  the touches of paris

7.  and everything else:)

makes you want to say. . . .

here's another rustic, chic, romantic beauty of a room!

love the. . . .

 1.  beams (although i'd probably wack my head:)

2.  the canopy

3.  the chest

4.  the white bedding

5.  the stone wall

i always wanted an attic bedroom. . . .

and looking at this, i still do!

1.  love the color scheme (again)

2.  the stenciling on one ceiling

3.  the windows/window treatment and beams

how about a room fit for a princess. . . .

hmmm. . . .what's not to love, right?

this next room isn't a bedroom

but i had to share.

it's small, but cozy.

and goes to show you can have a lovely white room. . .

and make it cozy with shabby chic sofas,

lots of pillows and quilts.

love. it.

okay, can i show you one more thing?

i love, love, LOVE this white bathroom with

pink accents!

i bet i could put my make up on much better in this room:)

how about you?

Idea Boards/Dream Boards/Polyvore...

so.....if you haven't seen me on Pinterest lately...

or my blog,

it's because i have a NEW obsessions.

POLYVORE!

i seriously don't even know how to describe it and am only just

starting to find my way around...

but it is SOOOOO cool!

you may have seen the quickie, accidental post yesterday labeled

"for taylor".

yeah, that wasn't supposed to be posted yet.

oh well!

you see, i made a 

style board for me and the girls, as well as a decor board.

i can't wait to show you!!!
(and the super cool thing is polyvore shows you the cost and the places
to buy things that you like.)

i'll set each one up, starting with mine.

this is a collection of things i like and/or would LIKE

to be able to wear, just for casual, everyday stuff.

for me... by shabbychicks featuring a cream jacket

pretty awesome, if i do say so myself:)

next up, the one you saw yesterday...

for taylor.

now this one is for my ballerina,

and the "theme" here is sort of 

all grown up, nights out at the ballet and a casual look for a ballerina girl too.

for taylor by shabbychicks featuring evening party dresses

gosh, i just love everything!

you have to know Taylor...ladylike and old fashioned to the core!

pretty in PINK!

i have TWO girls and they couldn't be more opposite.

this one is for Jordan...

my island cowgirl/surfer girl/beach bum.

(tennis too but that's for another board:)

she just loves life, the outdoors, casual beachy style...fun stuff.

for jordan by shabbychicks featuring fitted t shirts

and the last board i want to show you might be the coolest thing yet.

have you ever wanted to redecorate but couldn't quite get the picture in your head

straight...or in your family's head?

happens to me all the time.

my husband is famous for saying

"i can't quite see it".

well...now he can!

because i made a decor board with the colors i would like to use in my bedroom,

complete with painting the bed off white.

Vintage Glam Bedroom...Dreams of Aqua by shabbychicks featuring flower jewelry

i swear, this is WAY better than snooping around on Facebook...

or even tweeting.

but not pinning...not yet anyway.

see you around...
