All Snuggled In

We'll start with this cute blue iron bed I found in Greenville, S.C. I fell in love with it. Below are some great shelves to look almost like built-ins. I would love to have these in the boys rooms. Plenty of storage and perfect for books.

A great little bench for the foot of the bed.... A great spot for butting on shoes...

Below is one of my favorite headboards yet. I found it at Ethan Allen in Columbia. The shape is so royal, without being prissy. I've never had an upholstered headboard before. I think I'd like it.

Here is a bed that struck my fancy but it's a little different from the rest. It's not the basic white cottage look, but it's still perfect for the lowcountry. I think this one was at Ashely Furniture.
Now this is - hands down - my favorite bedroom. Again, from Ethan Allen in the upstate. If I could pick it up and put it in my soon to be home I would. We'll see how it turns out... but as of right now, this one has my vote.

These last two photos are of a great room from Ethan Allen. I'm not in love with it, but it has such great qualities I will borrow from. Of course the pictures grouped above the bed and a bench at the foot of the bed are right up my alley.

I like using two different bedside tables. I've always had matching sets so I do believe it is time for me to branch out. I like so much about this room. I think it's the bedding that doesn't have me completely sold. That's an easy change though.

Beautiful Flights

I love birds, but not in a cartoonish way.

Here are several items I'd like to have for my home sweet home.

The first is this metal tray for Pier One Imports. I should have snatched it up when I first spotted it. I'm a sale watcher though so I'm waiting for the price to drop.

I loved these plates, also from Pier One.

The yellow would be a great year round color.
The red (below) on top of those green chargers would be a great alternative to traditional Christmas plates. They can also reappear on Valentine's Day as lovebirds. What a perfect way to serve up breakfast.

This isn't a bird motif, but these butterflies are too cute not to mention. I forgot where I spotted this end table, but it would be perfect in a sunroom. I'd also love it in a garden setting.
