post 14 of 30: invites

well the invites are officially in the mail!  and i could not be more happy with them.  here is a little sneak peek.  can't give the entire design away or i would ruin the surprise!

confession:  i LOVE washi tape!!!

Headboards.

The bedroom is so many things to so many people.  To me a bedroom is a place to relax, observe, and prepare. 

-Relax and unwind from the day in a peaceful atmosphere and cozy bed while lying in my husbands arms, or sometimes cuddled to little Wren. 

-Observe the tasks at hand for the day ahead and the things completed that day.  I also love to observe the space and think of all the things I love about it and all of the things I can change about it. 

-Prepare for the day ahead of me by getting ready physically and mentally. 

My husband and I agree on one thing for sure......when it comes to a bedroom, it is not a place for television!  One thing however, we can not agree on is a headboard.  In brainstorming about headboards on Pinterest, I found oodles of ideas and inspiration.  It is CRAZY how many things make a BAD$&* headboard (Excuse my french).  But seriously.......

My 1st Baby Shower

Of Course I could not decide on just 1 design:)

Since we do not know the sex of the baby, the shower colors are brown, blue, yellow, green, orange, red and turquoise.  The thems is polka dots and stripes!

Amy's Horizontal Transformation

Amy of Peltier Interiors was nice enough to share her DIY winter project of her Powder Bath with me, and now all of you!

Before Pictures

Hmmmmmmmmmmm.....what to do with this Powder Bath??  Well I know what will give character to any space!!!!  Yup, you got it STRIPES!

Taping off the large horizontal stripes and painting them.

-Before taping your stripes make sure you make measurements on the wall so that the stripes are even.  Draw your stripe all the way around the room with a level and measure every few feet to make sure you are still on track.

Make sure to remove your toilet paper holder or anything else you may have hanging on the wall!

Do not forget to take off your outlet covers.

Love the 2 shades of gray together Amy!Stripes Complete and new pictures and a mirror on the wall!  LOVE IT.

I hope that you and your guests enjoy your new Powder Bath.  It is adorable.
