Well, I have been making some progress in the master bedroom. I must admit I am not a huge fan of big projects. I don’t have a lot of patience and I love to have a finished project to show off immediately. But I have been plugging along and spending way too much time searching online stores for the perfect accessories.
So first of all, thanks to my wonderful Dad, most of the walls are painted in the bedroom. After much debate I went with CIL Fine Silver. Dave still isn’t completely converted, but I am loving the grey.
{Sorry, I did have to take the pictures with the flash but it is pretty true to color}
We still have one wall, the walk-in closet {which will be a pain with all of the cutting!} and the ceiling left to paint. Notice that I said we? I am still working on recruiting my hubby…
Now my second project, was finding a desk. In order to save some money, I will be repainting all of the furniture that I currently have {still haven’t quite finalized the color yet!} but I did want to add a desk to our room for my laptop and a few writing supplies. After more than a month of looking on Craigslist with no luck I decided to give up {I seriously cannot believe the price that some people are asking for their junk!} And then I found a great dressing table at Ikea that was less than $200 and worked perfectly.
This is the Edlund dresser and it just happened to be on sale {maybe clearance?} for $189 CDN. The chair and slip cover are also from Ikea. I love the little drawer handles and the color is very close to Annie Sloan Graphite which is likely the color that I will be painting the bed. The drawers are lined and are the perfect size to fit my Smashbook and The Little Things journal.
I did some shopping around the house for accessories which is always my favorite part.
{Details of the chalk board/cork board can be found here}
And there you have it! It is begging for some art work or a photo wall above it but that will have to come later.
I will be working a bit more on the rest of the master bathroom this weekend and hope to have everything finished in there by the end of the weekend {which probably means sometime next weekend!}
I hope you are all having a great week!

I think grey is very chic and have to say I love your stylish clock !
Very cute, i love your littel chalkboard too 🙂 the dressing table is gorgeous, worth the splurge i think! Look forward to seeing your artwork!
