Master Bedroom Refresh

Can you believe it’s almost May?! This year is flying by, and I guess that’s what happens when you have a new baby.

Even though we moved into our house about six months ago, our bedroom still felt like we’d just moved in. At 35 weeks pregnant with zero creative juices left, I decorated it exactly as I did in our old house. Which was pretty, it just lacked personality.

See what I mean? Pretty, but kind of….blah. I haven’t updated our bedding in a couple of years, so when my mom made some Christmas returns and told me I had some leftover money to spend, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it: order new bedding!

We’re on a tight budget right now with a new baby and a pup who has some health issues going on, which means free is pretty much the only way I was going to be able to update our bedroom without David’s head exploding.

My mom came to visit for a week while David was away on a work trip, so we took that opportunity to shop around my house for existing decor that we could use to spruce up the bedroom.

All-in-all, this update cost me a grand total of $50! I spent $30 on the monogrammed pillow and another $20 on new pillow inserts.

I love these updates and the bright colors feel so perfect for spring and summer! Sources are linked below if you’d like to shop this space. (Word to the wise: Pottery Barn bedding runs large, so be sure to check the measurements on any inserts to be sure they’ll fill up duvets and shams. I learned this lesson the hard way…)
