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!

Upstairs Bathroom Re-DO!

Who doesn't love a trip to the spa and being pampered?! When it comes to my bathroom, I want that same soothing vibe. I'm talking candles, a bubble bath, maybe some sweet beats... very zen!

But how can you feel zen when you're trapped in a time warp? The vanity was a beautiful peach faux stain, the walls and trim were light purple AND the floor was green. Oh, and I can't forget the broadway lights that hung above the mirror (not pictured).

I painted the walls with Benjamin Moore's Tea Light. The trim was painted white along with the cabinets which were in good shape but I had to get rid of the peach. 



Look, a white sink AND a white toilet! Goodbye peaches and cream!

Finish the room off with lush towels and a beautiful orchid, I'm in love!
Until next time, Keep Calm and Carry On!

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!

We have a Headboard!

Hi Everyone! It's been a while since my last post but things have been busy. 

Recently, we made a trip to Ikea...

And I am happy to report, we finally have a headboard!

I was searching for the perfect upholstered headboard and found it at Ikea!

After a lot of online browsing, I stumbled across this gem and knew it was the one. 

My husband and I navigated our way through the store, following the large blue arrows with tiny pencil in hand.

We managed to get the huge box home and even survived the assembly instructions!

The headboard is a lovely light grey material which complements the golden tan walls really well.

I love the tufts and clean lines!

The Bekkestua is perfect!

Sadly, we did not have the meatballs.
