When in doubt, paint it Gold

I have been so eager to find my next DIY project. So on my last trip to Michaels, I picked up some gold paint.  I bought Martha Stewart Crafts Multi-Surface Metallic Paint in Gold and Brushed Bronze. I didn't have anything specific in mind that I wanted to turn gold so I looked to Pinterest for some ideas.

Speaking of crafts, I am going to let out a little secret. I have been working on starting up an Etsy Shop. I am not going share my full plan yet but let's just say it involves watercolor and is going to be very customizable! Will hopefully be taking orders before the holidays!

Now onto some pretty things to start the weekend off!

Bedroom Reveal

FINALLY! IT'S HERE! The bedroom reveal...

and if you missed the living room reveal be sure to check that out too!

{here}

and thanks to my co-worker Kim letting me borrow her AWESOME camera, I actually have some quality pictures!

First of all let me say that I am IN LOVE with this bedding! I love the colors, pattern, quality and especially the fact that its lays perfectly flat. 

I love the sentimental photos and art in this room. There is my bridal portraits canvas which will hopefully be replaced with a wedding canvas of me and Tim soon. The picture to the right is a cross-stitch that my bridesmaid Sammi made for us as a wedding gift. The photo on the left is Tim reenacting his proposal during our engagement session.

First kiss as husband and wife! I actually just switched this photo out before I took pictures but it will be staying! And my Nook Tablet :) Tim surprised me a couple of weeks ago and got me this ombre nightstand!!! Hubs know my strong love for Target!

Close up of the drapes- I adore this pattern and color. I wanted something simple to let the bedding shine, but they are in no way plain!

So, what do you think? Which room do you want to see next?

~In case you are curious, here is a renovation we just finished at work!

Mood Board Tuesday- Shades of Blue

Feels like its been a while since I have made a mood board...just because. And I must be dreaming of a beach vacation because today's board is definitely inspired by a beachy cottage style. I love how the shades of blue complement each other and pop on the white and neutral background.

After 11 weeks of creating mood boards for the link-up I am finding it more challenging to come up with a unique design each time. One of the reasons I started this blog was to keep myself inspired and inspire others so I hope that you are enjoying these boards.

Also if you are a new reader from a link-up, giveaway or whatever please comment or email me so that I can get to know you!!

Here is my inspiration for this week:

Because I have a great deal to share with you!! If you sign up to be a Julep Maven, you can get a free(with $3.99 shipping) intro box (USE CODE FREEBOX) Who doesn't love (almost) free stuff!!! You can get 3 nail polishes or 2 and a beauty product (such as mascara or hand creme).
