Pink & Grey Guest Room

"I need inspiration for my guest room. It has gray walls, white trim, light pink accents, a gray comforter, & white furniture. Any ideas floating around?" - Debbie

Check out some great pink & gray bedrooms I have found along with some of the key components that makes these rooms great!



Introduce your accent color through art or through interesting throw pillows and reupholstered chairs






Books are always a classy way to add to a color scheme


A jar of beautiful pink flowers will add style and color. Mirrors are also an amazing accessory in this room.


The light pink curtains and throw on the edge of the bed make this room feel light and airy. I also love the vanity, lamp & dress-form to make a girly escape.

Thrift Store Chic - My Awesome Finds!

One of my husband and my favorite things to do is hunt thrift stores and yard sales for an amazing piece that just needs a little TLC. Check out a couple of my latest projects and finds!

New Mirror

I found this for $5. I added a couple coats of glossy spray paint, and it is a perfect addition to our living room!



New Kitchen Table
I looked for months for the perfect and low cost pedestal table for my kitchen. I finally found the perfect one for $25 at a thrift store. I painted it white and added some stream line espresso chairs to combine modern with traditional. It is just right for our space!



New Wine Rack

I found this wine rack at a thrift store for $12. After adding a coat of black spray paint it was as good as new. Now I just need to fill it with more wine!


New Chair

I found this chair at a yard sale for $5. It was perfectly aged and perfect for our bedroom, all it need was to be reupholstered. I bought some burlap fabric and stencil painted a french saying. Now it one of my favorite things I have crafted up! :)
