Weekly Wishlist: Blingy Bedroom

Given the recent fashion trend toward “flashy neutrals” (which I’m completely in love with, by the way), I figured why not apply this same attitude to home decor? I’ve been dreaming of a flashy neutral master bedroom makeover for a while. Metallics, especially in bedding collections, seem so chic and calming, and I can’t imagine anything more perfect than falling into a cool, crisp, shimmering bed after a long day at work.

We were roaming through Macy’s Home department over the weekend when I spotted this collection. I love these tone-on-tone interlocking rings:

And then I nearly made a scene over this shimmery white collection by Martha Stewart. The floral-y inspired print on the duvet is embroidered with a silvery metallic thread. I highly suggest clicking on the link so you can zoom in on this one. The pillow shams in the very back feature a delicate lacy-like detail that is absolutely beautiful. I think my dreams would truly be sweeter if I laid my head down on these pillows every night!!

We’re not really in the market for a whole new bedding collection, but maybe we could swing a metallic armchair like this one. (I’ve seen this pop up recently on Joss and Main!)

If all else fails, how about some new hardware for a dresser or nightstand?

Best Dresser-est

After my recent crafting adventure, I had the itch to do more plate- and bowl-painting. So I thought I’d paint up a few pieces to keep my perfumes organized.

I picked up a variety of white  porcelain appetizer-sized plates and small dip bowls at Pier 1 (the bowls were $1-$2 each! can’t beat that!). I chose to use silver paint leftover from my last project.

Loving polka dots right now!

And the look of a gilded the edge on a small scalloped bowl…

Here are a few “glamour shots” of the finished products:

They add a nice touch of “bling” to my dresser. We’re kind of at an impasse about how to decorate our bedroom, so in the meantime, I’ll just accessorize with a few little things!
