Resting Our Little Heads

I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I am absolutely dying to re-do our master bedroom. I had some ideas for bedroom furniture/headboards and luckily people pointed me in the right direction. We were loving these two headboard, but what we actually wanted was something in between both (the scroll shape with nail heads outlined). Lucky for me, one of my pals, Emily, even pointed me in the direction of a headboard really similar to the West Elm ones I had mentioned but this one was several hundred dollars cheaper and from... JC Penney! I know, I couldn't believe it either. (I didn't even know they had headboards!)

Since it was online-only, we sort of just had order and cross our fingers that it would work. But the price was too good to turn down. It was originally over $1,000, on sale for $599, but of course being the savvy-shopping sistah that I am, I found a promo code, which took about an additional 25% off. So with tax and shipping, we paid about $550. At least $200 then what we would have spent on the other options. (Um, holla.)

The little guy was dropped off on our doorstep. It was HUGE. Whoa

(You'll notice my hubby in the background, who is obviously just as excited as about our new arrival as me.)

Last weekend, we put it together (read: my husband put it together while I offered support and positive reinforcement) and got it all set up.

We're really happy with it, but it just makes me want new bedding (already picked out, actually), new furniture and to decorate.

I'm aiming to pick out and buy new furniture by November and from there I'm going to start piecing together the decor (more to come on that later, though) and hope to have it mostly complete by the end of the year.

In the meantime, we're loving the new addition to our bedroom!
