Little Details

While we battle the raccoon (more later) and wait for a few things to grow outside before documenting them, I thought I'd entertain you with a few pictures of some of the little decorating touches we made to our bedroom.

A recent trip to Italy resulted in two beautiful Venetian masks that I deliberately chose in colors that would compliment our room. We hung them up with some invisible nylon thread across the bridge of the nose and through the eye holes and a tiny nail. I love that they look like they are floating! Also in this picture is a beautiful paper rose strand that we got at a wedding. The white and green really match our decor. We are also using a few other strands of it as tie-backs for our curtains.

The same wedding had strands of little paper birds, which we took to decorate this corner of the room, using tiny nails barely tapped into the wall (to leave minimal holes if we ever redecorate).

Next was an exciting find from a local home decor store: two blue birds as door pulls for our closet and some blue and silver filigree pulls for some drawers.

The bedroom is definitely my favorite room in the house and truly exudes a sense of calm--a nice sentiment for a room where we spend so much time relaxing and sleeping. The only project we have left is to mount some shelves under one of the windows. And of course whenever we find new pictures and other decor elements we will add them wherever we can.
