Mirror, Mirror, On the Wall

Here we go again, I have another confession... I LOVE Mirrors!
(Were you expecting me to say lamp!?)

Moving along... yes, I LOVE Mirrors! I love them so much they deserved a full post.

Does anyone recognize this mirror?

Here are some of my favourite styles:

A stylish mirror is a fairly inexpensive way to finish off your room. Not only can a mirror help to brighten up your room, they also provide a touch of glamour, even an element of fun.

And there you have it - shiny, reflective surfaces really turn my crank and make a great addition to your decor!
Have a great weekend!

Pillow Talk

This may sound like an AA meeting but...my name is Abbey and I am addicted to throw pillows.
That might be a touch dramatic but it's true!
Recently, I picked up a few new ones to add to the living room.
How can you resist a chevron pattern? It's one of my all time faves.
The right fabric on a pillow can inspire an entire colour scheme or feeling for your space.
Sometimes, they're that missing piece unifies it all.
If you are searching for a really affordable and simple way to update a room in your home, do it with pillows!

On a recent outing, I had to restrain myself when I came across this aisle. I wanted them all! If you're looking for something truly unique, visit the Etsy website. They have all sorts of decorative throw pillows in every possible colour you can imagine. You can even custom order fabrics and sizes from certain shops. 
Get out there and get inspired!

An Upcoming Project!

Maybe the weather has something to do with it or the fact that Spring is just around the corner, who knows but I am in the mood to freshen things up. My next project...
This dresser.


And his little friend...


My inspiration:


My plan is to update these quality pieces with a fresh coat of white paint. I was searching for a new bedroom set but I was disappointed with a lot of the selection that was out there. I wanted real wood pieces that would last. I had a hard time trying to find a style that my husband and I could agree on and something that balanced both the masculine and feminine (which I think is the hardest part of decorating a master bedroom).
I realized that I already had the pieces they just needed some TLC from yours truly.
Wish me luck and stay tuned for the finished products!
