Bedroom/ Studio Snapshots

     Last week I posted about possibly sharing a little tour of my bedroom, and since a few of you seemed to be interested, here it goes! I live in a house with two roommates and we share all the common areas such as the living room and kitchen, so my room is really the only thing I got to decorate as my own space.  This also means that my bedroom acts as my vintage studio as well.  I have an area I use for shooting listing pictures (on my "wooden" photo mat), racks of vintage lining the back wall, and a sewing desk for all of the alterations I do for the shop. Needless to say, it's sometimes hard to stay organized with all of that going on in one room!
      Anyway, it's always a work in progress, as I get antsy every few months and change things around, but this is what it looks like in its current state! Hope you like it!

 

That's it! Sorry for the picture overload, I wanted a good mixture of little detail shots as well as photos that would give you a feel of the whole room.  So thats where I run my shop from, sleep, and watch way to many trashy tv shows from!  If you want to know where anything is from, etc., just leave me a comment and I'll respond! Hope you liked the little tour!

DIY: Spring Painted Pots

A few months ago I realized my plant-babies were outgrowing their homes, but didn't want to pay big bucks for some fancy new planters.  I headed to Jo Ann Fabrics and grabbed three plain terra cotta pots that were a bit bigger than the previous ones to try my hand at painting them myself!  This is so easy that it basically doesn't even need directions, but I took a few pictures of my process along the way so you can see what I did!

Ta Da! As you can see I chose a few prints I thought I could freehand: stripes, polka dots, and chevron.  They are surely not the most perfect thing ever, but hopefully my plants will revive a bit now that they have more room to grow! I would also like to say that there is probably better paint and sealer to use specifically for pottery of this sort, so I might to a bit more research into long term durability if I ever repeat this project!
    Even though its still cold in Colorado, I got the Spring cleaning bug last weekend and am excited to fix up some more things around my room! I realized I have never really shared pictures of my little bedroom/ studio on here so I am going to share a little peek soon if thats something you guys would be interested in?
Hope you're having a great week!

Insta & Pinspiration

 Well, I was not planning to post today, but isn't that the great part about having a blog? You can post whenever you feel inspired! Right now I am inspired by fresh color palettes, coffee, and interior design. What I am not inspired by is my job, but thats alright because I can just daydream about those other things while I am here.  Anyway, this week I started the process of rearranging and redecorating my room a bit to help me feel inspired, motivated, and more organized with my vintage shop.  Since I run my shop out of my room, I wanted to give it more of a work studio feel in one part, combined with a bedroom.

 

A shot I took right when I woke up as the sun was rising through the picture window above my bed, which is one of the first places I decided to give a little room makeover too by 

adding pink peonies!

 

A pretty vintage dress I recently found that is going to be hung as "art"!

 

A peak of my outfit today- full post next week!

I don't have a bunch of money to spend, so I am doing most of it myself while keeping the basics the same and just changing the accent colors.  My room is currently grey and white with yellow accents.  I am keeping all the grey and white basics and then adding little pops of red, mint, and pink instead of yellow!  What colors are your bedroom? Do you get antsy and want to change things up often or is it just me!?
Have a great day!
