I still love plates on walls, maybe a little too much, but I think baskets on walls needs to be the next big thing.

are ugly, but that I still manage to enjoy.. Every once in awhile I get lucky and notice all of these little things all at once and then I realize “I live here.I’ve been waiting to be able to show you this corner of Kennedy’s room and it’s finally now at the point where I thought it would be done.Of course, it’s not.. but let’s look at it anyway, shall we?.

We used to have this giant old monstrosity of a TV in here for her to watch her iCarly on, but we got her this new flat screen for her birthday last week, so now things are starting look a little better..I also picked up those two lamps, thinking they would look good on either side of the TV and I waited to be able to use them..I made this box to tidy up her DVD mess, and I waited to use that too..

The dresser was my great-grandma’s.My mom and I refinished it a couple of years ago, but kept the knobs in the original white chippy paint, just to compare and also I think it looks neat..

So I waited until the day I could put all these elements together thinking it would all come out looking great and really anchor that corner of the room..

I added some daffodils from the yard, because I always think they make everything look even better.. Then I stood back and looked at it.. And tried to love it.. And the same thing bugged me about it, that always bugs me about everything.. And I said to myself, I said “Self, just stop it.Especially now that I finally got Chris to move the exercise bike out of the corner and into the basement!.

I know some of you might be a little concerned about having a 100% jute rug in the bedroom, so let me just put your mind at ease..I was surprised to find out that it’s really not that rough at all to walk on.

In fact, it’s really kind of a nice foot massage with the chunky loop design of this one.And with two cats and a dog, no one has been the least bit interested in scratching it, playing with it, or causing it any harm.. They’re just sticking to the bed as usual.. Hey, if they’re going to be all over the bed and the furniture, at least they look good doing it!.
