When I found out that Ry was going to take the job at Target, move our family out here, and leave all we had behind - I discovered I had a bargaining chip. I told him that I would go to Minnesota if...I could get a new bedroom set. We had a 13 year old mattress, we never had owned any bedside lamps, and our bedding was nice...but confused (brown, tan, red? who knew what was happening?). Here was our bedroom
BEFORE:
AFTER:
Pure happiness. I had a spend and splurge kind of attitude, and it worked out wonderfully. We left all of our old bedroom furniture in Utah, and started brand new here in Minnesota. First we bought our new mattress at Macy's (splurge - but it was on sale, so we saved a few hundred dollars, so maybe a splave: a splurge and a save) and they shipped here to our new address, it was perfect! We bought our duvet cover from Anthropologie (splurge), and I love love love it!! My desire for new bedding all began with this duvet cover. (We already had our down comforter so we saved a little by not have to buy a whole new comforter).We made the headboard (save), and also made the pillows (save).
The great thing about have a neutral headboard, side tables, and bedding is that I can always switch out and change the pillows and just have fun with a bunch of different colors. They're fun for now! I love walking into my bedroom, it makes me so happy.

You have great taste Becca! I love the room, especially those darling pillows. I hope you are enjoying MN.
