rue / breakfast nook updates

the last time you saw my little kitchen nook it was rather depressing. to freshen it up a bit i added that diy wall hanging, the rug (which is an outdoor rug i found at target for $50!), the planter (the most amazing thing i found at west elm), and the 'eat' sign. i pretty much love all of it. the space feels so cohesive and bright; i love how the rug pulls in so many colors of the room. it almost seems like i planned everything else around the rug, but i actually put it in last. i'm pretty sure it was fate.

bobette's house tour / the master bedroom

i have been meaning to photograph and share bobette's room for a while now and i finally got around to it! i love her room; i really really love her bed. she found it at a thrift store and i told her she had to have it. i mean what are the odds that she would find a brass bed in a cal-king size. if it were a king i probably would have stolen it from her. (side note: my dad calls it a marching band bed and says it's like he's sleeping in a tuba).

rue / living room updates

i've shared a lot of little snippets of my living room on instagram, and everything was shown on rue- but i thought i'd share all of the updates here. i didn't change too much, just a little sprucing. added some pillows and plants, borrowed an awesome chair from bobette to fill the empty space that needs a chair really badly (any suggestions?? it needs to be comfortable and small and really cute. plus affordable).

diy / wall hanging

i know, i'm like super trendy. wall hangings are all the rage right now and i knew i could make one for super cheap and make a major statement with it. and as you know, cheap+statement-making is my forte (see my rorschach wall hangings, and plus sign curtains). i spent less than $10 on this project and used some stuff i already had (or found in my mom's wedding inventory). i love how it turned out. you could do so many different things with it and in so many different colors.

bedroom updates!

the new rue magazine is out today and my house is featured (as if you haven't heard- i can't stop talking about it and i'm sorry! i'm sure i'll be past it by the end of this year:). since i made lots of little updates i'm going to show you room by room with all the dirty details. my bedroom was in pretty good shape before, but there were lots of things that i planned to work on. somehow it got kind of neglected and was the last thing i really finished. (of course besides my kitchen).
