New Bed Has Arrived!

FINALLY. My Skyline Velvet Bed came today. It took awhile to get here, but it was worth the wait. I ordered this from Amazon, even though there was only ONE review for this particular bed, I thought I'd go for it.

Here's a few daylight pics so you can really see the light gray color. ( I did no color adjusting )

I appreciate the REAL nailheads, as opposed to plastic rows that some beds have as a shortcut.

Here's an evening shot. Forgive my lack of variety in the angles, my master is so small!

I still have work to do in this room. I have to get a nightstand ( sold the others ) and a few other things...including a new down comforter. The necklaces hanging on the wall wont be there it's just a temporary solution. I'll keep updating as I obtain the things I'm searching for :) It takes time.

So my review for: Skyline Velvet Grey Upholstered Queen Bed

-It arrived in 2 boxes, and took my husband less than a couple hours to put up. The frame itself is very sturdy, heavy duty metal.
- There is a slight gap ( 1.5inches?) from the top of my mattress to the bottom of the headboard. This may bother some people but the pillows completely cover the gap. ( as opposed to the headboard going completely to the floor.
- The velvet is legit. It's very very smooth and soft.
- Like I mentioned above, I'm thrilled that the nailheads are individual and not on a strip of plastic. It just makes it look that much more expensive. On OTHER Skyline beds though, depending on the fabric, they DO use the strips. So it's just up to you and your style or preference if you want that or not.

Updates on life and home.

This week I am 6 months pregnant! I'm really praying these last 3 months will fly by. I'm overly anxious to meet our girl Lennon Grey.

And our daughter is back in school ( I'm loving it, so is she )

And the list of To Do's is getting smaller and smaller. Hoping this list will be complete in the next few weeks.

And this nursery closet will be done by the weekend, I'll post pics of the after. Isnt it hideous?! It has been storing junk for a few years, never was painted, has ancient water stains, tears in the wall etc.

DIY hydrangea box

I have wood piling up in my garage, from old barns and stuff that people have given me from scraps...so it was time I actually made use of some of it. I put together a long box out of barn wood, it was super easy and cost nothing.

Turns out its a nice way to display my hydrangeas and let them dry out for the fall. ( a few are still in jars with water in them, just hidden in the box )
In a few weeks I'll take them out and arrange my fall display, that is made entirely of dollar store stuff and target clearance.
