new place = new bedroom

OK after almost a full month off of blogging I am back.  It's been a crazy month of moving from Seattle to my sisters place to finally our NEW apartment. We couldn't be more excited!  We found a cute 2 bedroom/2 bath apartment near the beach in Manhattan Beach.  Now it is on to decorating starting with the bedroom.  We have both agreed on the kind of bed we would like (he would like a platform bed and I would like a headboard made out of reclaimed wood). Thanks to Pinterest and Etsy I found the perfect bed that combines both.  We decided to have a friend of ours make this bed soooooo it should be done in about a year (just kidding). I have found that reclaimed wood is not cheap and especially not in LA.  I am seriously thinking about either tearing down an old barn in Minnesota or stealing a fence from one of the many awesome Venice/Abbot Kinney area homes.  Either way this bed is going to be made.

This is kind of what it would look like.

On to bedding... For the past year we have had the same bedding and I really want something new.  I would like to keep it clean, beachy, and rustic feeling.  I love the idea of grey, tan, seafoam green or antique blue and white as a color scheme. After looking through ideas on Pinterest (follow me) I found a couple that I would like to use as inspiration.  Cheers!

How cute would it be to wake up to this fun banner every morning?!?!?
Done.  I am so making one.
