this is what i’ve been up to…

by Nina on January 24, 2009

REDECORATING!!!!
This is my room while I’m staying at the Parents House but it is actually the “grandchildren’s room.” Yes, my mother has a room for all of the grandchildren she does NOT have! Nothing wrong with being prepared, right?!! And, well, I’m not going to say anything about it because it’s quite the place to rest my head and it’s very inspirational for my work (well, as of today it is)! Before today, the only thing we had were the Red Quilts at the end of each bed! It’s been an on going project but today we really stepped it up!
We purchased these duvets at Pottery Barn and the accents of leopard are by Ralph Lauren!

This is the bathroom inside the bedroom. We found these canvases on clearance at Hobby Lobby – don’t they look great? We are going to use a few different shades of green in the bathroom… work in progress ;-)

This is where the magic happens… My Workspace!

Here is the Full View…. Please excuse the mass amount of magazines and binders underneath the middle part of the desk ;-) All of that will soon be put on a Bookshelf (when we find one) and that area will become my second workstation (with a beautiful new Mac Book Pro).
Please give the one-and-only Kiks a round of applause… she is the master mind behind this project!!
{Side Notes} Holy Posting… I have 241 posts in my Reader to read. It is going to take me awhile too because Amy (a real-life bf) is coming to 703 to spend the night!! Frost is making Pork Tenderloin with a new marinade along with Parsley New Potatoes and Green Bean Almondine on the side. In the words of Rachel Ray… YUM-O!!

AH! I have been in love with the particular Pottery Barn print since the moment I laid my eyes upon it, I just don’t have any other beds I need to dress up! It looks grrrreat. I like the leopard touch too…I wouldn’t have thought of that one :)

The room is adorable, I love the duvet with the leopard. I have those RL sheets on a bed in my house with a red duvet! Your workspace makes me jealous… maybe I will do some redecorating of my own! :)

Lookin GREAT! I think that P Barn print is the Serafina…???? (oh, how I love it) I almost got that for our Master Bdrm….but went with something totally diff. and Ralph Lauren.
You have a great space to use at your parents…large office area …lots of moving around space.
The dinner that your dad was making sounds delightful! You have a great Sunday and upcoming week.

This room is so great! I love the mixing of the floral and leopard. I do have to ask where did you find the Ralph Lauren leopard pillow cases? I’ve been on the hunt and haven’t found any for my guest bedroom.
Thanks for sharing and dinner sounded amazing.
You may have already answered this but how long are you staying at 703? Just curious as I would never want to leave!!

Love the room and I can’t wait to see what other touches Kiks comes up with! Leopard is my fave decorating accent but I have to sneak it in here and there b/c Hubby is not a fan. ;)

So cute! I love the La Dolce vita sign. Where did you get it? The iron over the beds look amazing!

The beds look beautiful. I’ve seen the duvet print in the PB catalog and it’s nice to see how it looks in a real room. I also love the accents above the headboard – they look like wrought-iron maybe? A nice touch.

My mom just announced she is getting a minivan for the grandchildren. She doesn’t have any (yet)!
