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!)

In Case You've Been Wondering...

This is what I decided to go for with my over the bed decor. If you remember from my last post, I couldn't decide on what colors to choose for a tassel garland that I'd found on Etsy. I had already had these printed Instagram photos from a website called prinstagram so I decided to save myself some money and hang them above my bed instead. I purchased the hemp string, clothes pins, and flowers from Michaels, all for probably about ten dollars. I absolutely adore the way this looks and it even inspired some of my friends to do the same with their pictures.

I just bought some baby pink clothes pins that are the same size. I'm trying to decide whether or not to use them. I feel like they might be a little too much. Either way, I really like the changes I've made to the room.

(Pillow and covers all from Home Goods with the exception of the pink fuzzy pillow, which is from TJ Maxx. Duvet Cover is from Ikea.)
