Yes it’s true. Our master bedroom has undergone a few changes yet again. When I started using the Annie Sloan Chalk Paint toward the end of last year, I couldn’t stop. And I ended up painting all of our furniture in our bedroom white. And then I decided to go pink and grey with the rest of the decor, so that’s what our bedroom is now and I think it’s so pretty!

The good thing is that I did not have to repaint our walls or anything. I still like the color from the last master redo. And the color is Sherwin Williams Mindful Grey (flat finish) in case you don’t remember.

I love how the painted dresser ties in with the grey/silver curtains and the wall color don’t you? And yes that bed was a beast to paint.
Let me show you a pic of the last bedroom makeover to show you what the furniture looked like previously.

It was all shiny and that faux marble stuff. I hated it. So I covered it up with the white chalk paint. This is still not my dream bed or furniture, but I do love it SO much better in white! I really want an upholstered headboard/bed–that would be my forever bed. :)
And here it is now.

Big difference right? I’d still like to replace the wicker bench and get a nicer chair for the corner, but for now they will do. :)
Basically everything in this room is exactly the same, except for the painted furniture, bedding and curtains, which I’ll get to now. The beautiful bedding was sent to me from DKNY Home and it is the most luxurious bedding I have ever owned. Seriously.

The duvet is just beautiful and billowy. It ALWAYS stays fluffy and my duvet comforter doesn’t get lost in it, which was a huge complaint I had with the last duvet cover from West Elm. I have been calling this “pink” but it’s actually called “Blush” and that would be more accurate. So don’t let the word pink scare you away or especially if your guy would freak out about pink bedding. It’s actually in between a very pale pink and peach. So yea, it’s blush. :) You can find it here on the DKNY Home website. I love the shams and decorative pillows it came with too.

See how billowy it is? LOVE! I hope billowy is a word.
I know, don’t hate me, but DKNYHome also sent me this amazing quilt set.


Can I just say how awesome it is to have a quilt to sleep with AND a comforter?? I know that may sound silly, but it’s nice to just keep the comforter at the foot of the bed when it’s hot and sleep with just the quilt, or you can pull up the comforter and be all nice and comfy. It’s luxury I’m telling ya. And this quilt is all 100% cotton so it’s super soft and does not get hot. It is called the Haven quilt and you can find it here.
Would you be surprised if I told you Curtainworks sent the beautiful new curtains?

I know you aren’t surprised, but they did! And these are quite luxurious as well. They are real Dupioni Silk and these are in the color Pewter. You can find them here. I love the pinch pleat too–gives it a more sophisticated look.

Oh, and also notice I painted our nightstands white too! I told you I couldn’t put the brush down.
And just a few more.


And that’s about it!
What do you think of the new look? Of course there are still other things I’d like to do in here. Lots of things actually. But we gotta take baby steps, especially with a new baby coming! At least I love it for now. :)

I know you all have heard of Scentsy right? You probably already have many of their products since they are so popular! Well today the sweet Erin Campbell, Independent Scentsy Consultant is giving away a $40 credit to one of you! Woohoo!!

I didn’t have anything from Scentsy up until last month when Erin sent me a few items. I fell in love instantly. Like, deep love. I love anything that smells good and now I understand why SO many people rave about it. All of the hype is legit!
Erin sent me a full-size warmer premium, Jane, and I absolutely love it.

I have it on our kitchen counter and the smell fills up our entire house! Plus it looks great. She let me pick out 3 scented bars too which smelled divine. I chose the fall-ish scents and I can’t wait to order some new ones for Spring! My favorite one was Cinnamon Vanilla. Mmmm mmm. And they last forever.
She also sent me a Scentsy Buddy for my daughter!

She loves it and she says it “smells pretty.” :) The “Newborn Nursery” scent pack is inside and the pig smells just like that. A fresh little bundle of joy. :)
Here are a few other Scentsy warmer products that I love…



A few cool things about Scentsy that you may not know:
- They use food grade petroleum wax, and it does not evaporate. This means only the scent is released into the air, but no wax build up on your walls.
- The wax warms at just above body temperature, so it gets hot, but will not burn your skin.
- Bars last 50 to 80 hours, depending on scent strength and room conditions for only $5 versus a $20 candle. (open windows and fans will shorten their scent time)
- Instead of having 20 different candles, you can switch your scents out whenever you want. Easy peasy.
Good to know right?!
Also one more important thing…If any of you would like to order anything from Erin, some dear friends of hers have suffered a terrible tragedy and lost their 16 month old baby in an accidental drowning. They were able to donate her organs to save 3 other lives, but have been left with high medical expenses. There is a memorial fund set up on Erin Campbell, Independent Scentsy Consultant website and it’s called the “Adalynn Byler Memorial Fund.” If you just click next to that name where it says “Buy From Party,” 20% of her sales will go directly to the Byler family in their time of need. Prayers are much appreciated too.
To enter the giveaway to win a $40 credit to Erin’s Scentsy shop, please do the following:
- Leave a comment and tell us how excited you are about trying out Scentsy! Or if you already have some tell us about it.
- Extra entry: Sign up for Erin Campbell, Independent Scentsy Consultant newsletter and stay up to date with the latest products and specials
- Extra entry: Facebook or tweet about this giveaway including a link back to this post.
And that’s it! Please leave separate comments for each thing that you do. Giveaway will be open until Saturday, January 28, 2012 and winner will be chosen via Random.org.
Good luck everyone!
