New Curtains!

Guess who just saved $300.12 on curtains? This girl! Our second anniversary is coming up on the 13th. The "etiquettely correct" gift is cotton, so I decided that we would get some new linens for our bedroom.

We originally had white curtains and while pretty, they did a poor job of blocking out the light and I love my beauty sleep. I have had great luck finding curtains at J.C. Penney's - so that's where we headed tonight. I found curtains by American Living. I couldn't find a picture online, probably because they were on clearance, but they are a really pretty chocolate brown. They have a nice button detail at the top. They were marked down from $80 to $5!!!!

I am hoping to find a pretty white quilt for the bed and I think I am going to order this bed skirt. A white bedspread is so relaxing to me. Sorry I don't have any pretty pictures for this post, but hopefully I will have some when the bedroom is all put together.

New Home Ideas - the Master Bedroom

Thanks to Le Petite Blog and her tip about My Home Ideas, I have found lots of good ideas for my little brother. I am kind of going room by room. I am trying to stay away from too many floral prints and the typical feminine colors. I will leave that for whoever his future wife is - hee hee.

I think for the master bedroom he should paint a blue or a bluish green. I found a bunch of these colors that I like. I am drawn to these colors because I feel like they are calming and not over-whelming. They also feel like a beach house to me - which I like since its Charleston after all.

I included this one because it just felt very man-bedroom-type. However, I am not crazy about it.
