New Season, New Room...

Spring is here which means I have an excuse to spend a little more money than I should at Home Goods...right? I love adding little touches to revamp my room with the changing seasons. For spring, I went a little overboard but I really needed a fresh space to help me out of that winter slump.

To start, I switched my furniture around (as I'm always doing)...
I don't have any pictures of my room before but I had my bed pushed up against the wall with the window (to the right). It was against the radiator so there was a little extra room on the side where I could stuff my throw pillows when I wasn't using them...the problem with this was since my pillows were out of sight...I never made my bed! It was driving me crazy, as I'm typically a pretty neat and tidy person. I finally moved my bed back into the middle of my room like I originally had it when I first moved in. I love it so much better like this now.
I moved my nightstand to the side of the bed where I use the under bed drawers for storage as opposed to everyday clothes like on the left side drawers. That was another huge problem, I was always having to move my nightstand out of the way whenever I needed underwear or pajamas! SOOO inconvenient. 

One day I was randomly looking at Home Good's instagram and came across this gorgeous looking bed from @devonrachel.
Looks eerily familiar right?! I think I did an amazing job duplicating this look for a much more budget friendly price. ONE of her euro shams costs $66. And the duvet cover? $185! I got a pack of 2 euro shams on sale for $40 and my duvet cover was on sale for $100 but I had a coupon for $25 off so in total I spent $115 for everything. I know it doesn't look quite as nice (I haven't mastered the art of taking blog photos) but I promise it looks amazing in person! And for the price, you can't beat it!!!

I love the simplicity of this black border yet it still has that touch of chic-ness that Devon's duvet has.

Now onto what I know you've been waiting for...
These amazing pillows I scored at Home Goods which is also where Devon found hers! (I must admit though, I do like Devon's a lot more...like a lot a lot...but I'll have to settle...) They're such a fun pop of color for spring and summer and I'm seriously obsessed.


The black and white pillow I found on sale at Target for $11! (Can you tell I like a good sale? ;))

But of course it wouldn't be my bed without a warm and fuzzy throw blanket, pillow pets, and a sneaky kitty :D


Could I have closed my scary closet door to take pictures? Yes. Did I? No. (I'm still learning!)
