Finishing Touches in the Master Bedroom

When we were wrapping up our bedroom makeover a few months ago, there was one store that I turned to when it was time to put the finishing touches on the space!  If you follow me on social media, then you know one of my "go to" stores for accessories is HomeGoods!

Here are some items from HomeGoods that added the finishing touches to the room!

1.  Throw Pillows:  I love these felt throw pillows I found at HomeGoods.  They are simple yet interesting and the texture adds a lot to the space! The colors were perfect and the fringe and poms added a whimsical touch without being over the top!

 

2. Unexpected Elements: The textured wreath you see above the bed is also a HomeGoods purchase.  I love the unexpected element it adds to the space and it brings a lot of dimension to the room.  When working with such a limited color scheme, it is good to use interesting décor to keep the space from being bland.  I simply added it over an old, salvaged screen for a unique focal point above the bed!

 

 

3.  Tassel Throw Blanket:  I love using throw blankets pretty much all over the house!  They add such a warm and inviting element to the space!  I love the large tassels on this throw I found at HomeGoods and it was perfect in our bedroom!

 

 

4. Table Accessories: I kept things very simple and used a few vintage items to add character to the space.  A vintage, metal parts bin was used to add height to the nightstand.  A simple glass jar, metallic antlers and a few candles softened the space and created a serene feel in the space.  We turned salvaged staircase balusters, from an old house, into one of a kind lamps.  I love mixing vintage pieces with new pieces to keep things interesting!

 

 

6. Candles: Creating a relaxing ambiance was as simple as adding a few candles to each side of the bed.  Shown above, I just added small votive candles as well as a jar of tapers for visual interest.  On the other side, a large terrarium holds 5 large candles that create the perfect glow when lit! 

 

 

 

 

5.  Faux Plants: Since our dresser is so ornate, I knew I wanted to keep things simple!  These faux potted plants were the perfect way to add a natural element to the room without taking away from the beautiful details of the dresser. 

 

 

6. Simple touches in our reading nook:  A fur throw rug, pom pillow and cozy throw blanket make our reading nook a great place to snuggle up with a good book! 

 

 

 

Thank you, HomeGoods, for always being a great source for affordable home décor! 

Styling Tips: {Decorative Solutions for Towel Storage}

 

No matter how big or small a house is, I think everyone can benefit from extra storage space.  Today I am sharing some unconventional ways to store (and display) towels.

 

The first picture is of our upstairs guest bath.  This bathroom is connected to our guest bedroom and also opens up to the hall for use from the media room and game room.  It is not a huge bathroom and only has the storage space under the sink, which is pretty small.  I came across this wire, hanging basket at HomeGoods and knew it would look great in this room!  The decorative towels add a pretty pattern to the room and it is nice to have them accessible to our guests! 

 

 

The next picture is of a space in our master bathroom.  This rustic wood shelf was the perfect piece for this wall.  I wanted something that created visual interest but also brought in extra storage space.  Glass apothecary jars hold items we use daily but also double as accessories.  Our towels are stored in these galvanized buckets for easy access.  I think this area creates a spa like feel.

Since we have a walk-in shower and the walls are tiled, I did not want a typical towel rack.  I found this old, chippy ladder at an antique store and knew it was the perfect solution for this corner.  I hung a galvanized bucket on the top to hold wash cloths and used the other bars for bath towels. 

In our downstairs bathroom, I used a bath towel to hold other towels.  I simple tied it up with rope and rolled up the other towels to store inside! So instead of one towel, there are four that are easily accessible as well as room for a few hand towels!

 

 

Ombre Ruffle Shower Curtain available: HERE!

And lastly, this is one of my favorite areas.  This is on my bathroom vanity.  This three tiered stand holds hand towels and is also used for jewelry storage.  I love the bowls I found at HomeGoods to hold my bracelets. 

 

 

 

 

Sometimes you have to think outside the box (or in this case cabinet) for fun and functional storage options! I hope these ideas have inspired you to come up with a creative way to store your towels and other items in your bathroom!

What's New Wednesday: {Breakfast Nook}

 

 

Happy hump day!  Hope your week is going great! 

 

If you follow me on Instagram then you have seen my latest Home Goods purchase.  If you don't follow me yet and would like to, you can click HERE! 

 

I did some shopping with a friend last week and picked up the large beaker "vase" shown below.  I am always the girl who goes for the things that most people walk right past!  I love items that are a little quirky and have interesting details...the things that make my husband give me the "what in the world is that" look!

 

I already had a smaller beaker vase that I picked up a few years ago but it already had a spot on my kitchen shelf and I didn't want to mess with moving it or having to  rearrange that area.  What's a girl to do?  Well, she goes back to HomeGoods the next day and picks up the smaller version of the big one she bought the day before!  It was a match made in Home Goods heaven!

 

I added some faux greenery sprigs to each of them and styled them on top of a vintage bread board....

 

 

 

I love the way the compliment the glass bottles on my breakfast nook shelves!

 

After finding those two, I walked into another Home Goods and found this smaller one...

 

 

I think it goes great on my branch table and I love the way the sun reflects through the glass!

 

What do you think of them?  Would you have bought them or would you have walked right past them?

Thanks for stopping by!  Check back Friday for this week's "Friday Finds" post!
