My Bed Nook Makeover

As the seasons change, so does my desire to switch things up a little in my home.  I bought a new Springy quilt from Gypsya via Etsy recently, and after that I knew the rest of my space wanted a little face-lift.

I have been storing this large vintage coat rack that my MIL snagged for me down in my basement, waiting for the perfect place to use it.  After finding these terrariums on Amazon, I knew it would be the perfect home for creating a tiny hanging garden above our bed!  I'm thinking I may even want to add more terrariums to it.

I found the pillows cases over at Stay Home Club.  They had me swooning as soon as I laid eyes on them.  I knew they would be the perfect compliment to our new floral quilt and they did not disappoint!  I think they might be the sweetest pillow cases ever.

We have a tv on the wall at the foot of our bed.  It's a bit of an eyesore when you walk up the stairs, so I had been brainstorming ways to hide it.  I didn't want to commit to making a box on the wall to cover it, so curtains seemed like the perfect, simple solution.  We purchased hooks for the ceiling, drilled small holes so they would fit, and suspended a curtain rod from them.  I purchased the curtains from Amazon after initially seeing them in the studio over at Elsie's.  They are beautiful and a nice, airy addition.

I'm really pleased with how our bedroom is coming along.  I'm excited to share more of our space in the coming weeks!  If you'd like to see what this nook looked like before, just click right here!

(Here's a guide to where I purchased things:  quilt, curtains, pillow cases, terrariums, air plants)
