{MADE} :: Craigslist Mood Board- Bedroom 1

Hey lovely readers! I've been meaning to do something like this for a while and I finally got around to it. It should come as no surprise to you that I love to shop. Not only do I love to shop, but I love a great bargain. I spend countless hours scouring craigslist, etsy, ebay, thrift stores and estate sales. This has gotten worse since we are house hunting and putting offers on homes. I am naturally a dreamer so I can't help but plan for our future home. Also, since I can't buy everything I like, I would love to share with you some of the lovely pieces I find.

While I wish I could do this on a weekly basis, it takes quite a bit of time to photoshop the items. I'll just say I'll do these when the mood strikes. However, if these posts gain popularity, I may make it a regular feature. Just leave me a lovely comment if the mood strikes you. :)

Alas, this is my first vignette. If you have any constructive feedback, I am all ears!

I feel this set has a balance between feminine and masculine items. Most of these items can be found in my local craigslist ads except for the paint color (Sherwin Williams' Reflection), white wood floor and the lovely woodblock print. (The woodblock print is a thrift find that I have yet to share with you... sshhhhh)

PICTURED ITEMS

Brass Double Bed Frame: $75

Painted Dresser: $100

Pottery Barn Dhurrie Rug: $450

Wood Chest: $150

Tripod Lamp: $85

2 zGallerie Ikat Pillows: $45

Horseshoe Planter : $40

Brass Mirror: $250

Total: $1195

I know the rug and mirror aren't total bargains, but you get the idea right?  There are a couple of new Ikea rugs that could be swapped with this one and would be half the price!

While my home currently has a lot of Danish Modern items. I do love a warm, cozy and eclectic room. I was inspired when I saw the brass double bed. One thing led to another and I couldn't stop picturing all of these items together for a room. I have other pieces that didn't make the cut for a bedroom but they may work for an office/ craft room. I think that the brass bed and the lamp are total bargains. Don't you agree?

Mid-Century Table

I purchased this side table from its original owner and restored it to make it look like it does above. Originally, it was much darker and the finished looked muddy. I enjoyed restoring it because I love working with my hands and this was a temporary outlet. Someday I will have my own studio/ workshop... someday
