Feeling very…At Home

Happy Friday Friends!!! I’d like to introduce you to my “what I’m loving” blog series. The name of these posts is pretty telling on what type they’ll be.  Come along with me on what I’ve been loving lately!

At Home

Guys…have you heard of the store At Home? In their own words, they “offer the largest & freshest assortment of home décor at the lowest prices in the industry – for both inside and outside your home.”  In my own words, this store is AMAZING!

The hubby and I went last weekend on the hunt for some picture frames for our master bedroom.  As soon as you step inside you’re excited at all the possibilities and overwhelmed as the sheer size of this store.

At Home has everything…holiday décor, chairs, picture frames, moc rooms plus all the knick knacks for bookshelves, counters and the spaces in between!

After recently falling in love with Mr. Kate, my outlook on design and home décor has completed shifted. [Seriously, if you haven’t checked out Mr. Kate’s YouTube channel do yourself a favor and binge.] Although we were just there for picture frames, I could see myself getting lost in the wonder of this store for hours on end.  If you haven’t been…go…run…don’t delay…and take me with you!

OUR BEDROOM DECOR

When we got engaged we talked about updating our bedroom from college furniture to adult married couple furniture. The first piece to the puzzle was updating our old queen bed to a king.  We searched high and low for the right bedroom set and ended up only buying the bedframe and mattress.  We figured that when we buy a house in 2018 we’d complete the bedroom furniture puzzle to fit that space instead of our rented one.

Since then it’s been a bit of a task to fit our current pieces, buy other decor and update the room to work for what we need right now.  This search lead us to At Home last weekend in hopes to complete our headboard/above bed space.  I was inspired from blogger Lauren Loves wedding gallery wall to do something similar in our bedroom on a [much] smaller scale.

We originally ordered these frames from Ikea. They weren’t my first pick  as I wasn’t the ones Lauren used on her wall but they fit the budget and could be shipped to us. Well, when they came in they didn’t ft what I had envisioned. I chose the wrong size.  I went with 16×20 picture with a mat.  The frame was too thin and the mat took away from the statement I was trying to make with the photos.  So, off to At Home we went on the hunt for the perfect frame wedding photo prints.

BEFORE

What do you think about how it turned out?

AFTER

The room still needs some work like adding bedside table lamps, moving the wreath up (which is from our wedding made by one of my amazing bridesmaids) and continued improvements but I really like how it’s coming together.  Makes me feel like a real adult when I walk in and that, I love!
