THINGS ARE CHANGING . . .

It has been quite some time since I initiated my "bedroom redo"... about a year when I really think about it! I can sometimes have the tendency to push things off a little bit, saying "I'll get to it eventually", especially when I want something to be perfect and it just isn't working out. That's exactly what happened with my bedroom. I wanted to create a space for myself that reflected my true style and personality so rushing things along was just NOT an option. With some encouragement from my mom, and the realization that another summer is almost passing me by, I finally took the next two steps in my bedroom makeover.

NAILHEADS & ARTWORK

With my parents vacationing in Tennessee this past week, I took that as the opportunity to get a few things done as well as doing something that I could surprise them with. I finally sat down and put the finishing touches on my blank slate of a headboard (which my dad and I had upholstered together last summer) and set up the placement for some pictures above my bed. Originally, my plan was to purchase a triad of moon phases to hang above my bed but as that became difficult to find, I realized I should do something more personal. The moon has always been magical and awe-striking to me so I knew I wanted that to be apart of my room some how. I began to search for prints and found 5 that I liked, I also decided to include 2 prints of my own photography: the ocean at Long Beach and a picture I captured of birds flying in the sky. Creating my own selected collage of photos made my space a little bit more personal and added a touch of "Jenny" to the space.

Next steps: have my dad hang up my prints, purchase a small shelf to add to my picture collage to display a geode, add a few touches of greenery and my room will be just about complete!

With just some quick fixes my room is slowly becoming exactly the tropical oasis I imagined it to be.
