~a couple new things in our bedroom~

Keeping things light and comfy and cozy in our room.

I had seen this bench from time to time at TJ Maxx, and then again at Marshalls.

I have always been drooling over it, but never took the plunge.

Well, I finally did and I couldn't be happier.

I love how it goes with our linen bedding and the unbleached wood is perfect.

I also added a 8x10 jute rug for texture.

I really don't like the color of our carpet so this helped neutralize it a bit.

You can find the rug here

{super cheap as they are always having giant sales!}

In fact it's only $189.75 for a 8x10 with free shipping, normally $759.00.

Here are a few more items from TJ Maxx in their

"sunbleached collection" that caught my eye.

I really want that chair!

One thing I did get that was similar to one of the above items:

Happy Monday!

~one room challenge week 3~

It's week 3, that means we are halfway to the finish and I feel so far behind.

Here is what I have done this past week:

I shipped off this flax colored linen fabric to have roman shades made.

My husband hates any kind of curtains so I will have to break this one to him slowly.

However, he did agree on white carrara counterops and we selected our slab!

Up until now the only hint of marble in our kitchen is the cutting board shown in the above photo.

I cannot wait.

They come Friday to do the template, and next Friday to install!

{sorry, bad phone photo}

This is the backsplash I picked:

I also ordered new sconces and they have arrived.

Haven't broke the news to my husband about these either.

That is it!

Yikes, I really need to start painting cabinets.

I keep putting it off.

Hopefully next week I'll be able to show you photos of the actual kitchen!
