matchy-matchy goes eclectic

I love love love to decorate! I am constantly changing something in our house or I was until we started working on houses that Jason was selling... I got a lil burned out. Well, it has been SOO long that I have wanted to re-decorate my bedroom. I am in love with white. If I lived alone my entire house would be white with burst of colors. Just love it but back to reality!!! I begged for almost a year now to repaint my bed room. We have crazy tell vaults in our bedroom which makes it not so fun to paint-- I finally gave up on that idea & decided to just go with what I had. Our bedroom has been everything when we moved in I went all white with splashes of black & red, then we went all beach/ tropical, but that was only good for the summer months, then we went all retro but I grew so sick of it SO quick! I have noticed in the past year or so that my own personal style is going through a crisis. I am becoming more earthy, eclectic, shabby chic... so, I thought, this is my room & that is just what I am going to make it! So the process has begun, I still have a little bit of work to do but overall I am there & I LOVE it. We are spending SO much more time in there. I now find myself wanting to just go relax & read in my bedroom- just as it should be!

PS- Funds to do this are not in the budget so I made it my challenge to do it all for $100. or less! :)

view of the bed:
Last summer I found the bedding on sale & fell in love with it.
The red pillow is one of my favorite things in the room. I love the saying, it is my daily reminder!
Pillows: $7 each
If you know me well, you know I have an obsession with birds so I found these pictures all for $12-- I was SO thrilled!
Curtains I found at Marshalls both for $7
Lamps we have had, but I hated them, now I actually like them!

side view. I love the blue watering can, a $4 find &used a scarf to dress it up :) with some foliage I already had

I am a picture fanatic so I have tons of frames. Decided that I have so much jewelry I mine as well frame it- lol! So now I keep the pieces I wear the most here & I can find them easily! NO COST!

I am so proud of this! I had bought this  as a pix frame but Karly stepped on it & broke the glass. I was determined to make something out of it cause I loved the frame. After a $10 trip to the fabric store I came home & 20 minutes later had this to show for. SO easy to make & I just love it! Now I just gotta find all my black & white pictures to fill it up!

Live, Laugh, Love-- that is what we do around here!
Vases $2.50
Flower .57
Box Shelves $5

my piece of inspiration. I have 2 of these, but this was the one that caught my eye. I thought it was so ugly yet I loved it. It is a big chunk of wood that someone sewed a bird into... so strange!
$5.99

Most things I already had thru the house. Found the red frame & pearl frame for $1.50 each at Marshalls- oh how I love Marshalls! Above this I wanna put all black & white pictures, but waiting for now...

Grand total: $77.05

I am pretty happy with my new room. Nothing matches, I know, that is the point! Yet somehow it all fits perfectly together. I think that is much like my life- I think there is a lesson there... don't worry I'll spare you! :) Now maybe in a couple months I'll tackle my bathroom...
