Missoni Crazed

Ever since Missoni came to Target, I've been on a craze trying to hunt down their bright and beautiful zig-zagged clothes and home accessories! No luck in that department... (It was on the news that people actually got trampled the day their line arrived in Target!) So I've settled with a few look-alike pieces, like this dress from F21, and some chevron pillow cases from Etsy that make great accent pieces. Though, I'm still on the lookout for a great Missoni-like laptop case and umbrella!

Also, I'm obsessed with these booties/wedges. It's almost like an illusion that I'm wearing flats, but I'm not! There's a hidden heel in there. :) On another note.. Have any of you guys tried the sock bun?! I never realized how easy it really is! It holds great and is super comfy. Learn how to here.

I'm currently in the process of repainting my bedroom (such a pain-- but so worth it). I've decided to stick to a very neutral palette. Crisp white and rich taupe. I want my room to embody simplicity and elegance, but also have a sweet pop of color here and there. Here are some photos I've stored on my computer as inspiration to what my room will eventually become! I want white bedding (specifically Urban Outfitter's Waterfall Ruffle Duvet Cover found here), taupe walls, a cute victorian-styled corner chair, and a few colored accent pieces, though I haven't decided exactly what yet...

Enjoy the lovely pictures!

Headboard

Ty made me this AWESOME headboard just in time for me to move into my apartment! He can seriously build anything...!

First we took an old wooden headboard, it was plain, basic, and boring...not much too it. Then we took my old egg crate foam mattress topper that I had used on my dorm bed (we had to go to the store and buy another to create more cushion) and spray glued them onto the headboard. Next we took some purple suedette fabric, as the fabric store liked to call it, and staple-gunned it to the back of the headboard! The hardest part was creating that tufted look. All we did was nail down the tufts with nails that had slight rivets, and used washers to hold the nail in place. The final touch was the fabric-covered buttons, and viola! My new headboard!

We will be working on some more apartment projects this weekend, stay tuned!

P.S. This room is my sister's, we just painted it so it's kind of the "random stuff" room for right now while she redecorates.
