West Elm Midcentury Lamps

Currently drooling over these midcentury style lamps at West Elm. They're called Roar + Rabbit Ceramic Table Lamp, White, Tall. And currently on sale for 20% off. They would go great in our living room. Now just have to check that pesky budget...

"Mad Men" Inspired Bedroom

Okay, let's face it. 72.5% of the reason I watched Mad Men was for the style. From the interior designs to the costumes, there was such attention to detail! One of my absolute favorites though was Joan's apartment. That coral/aqua combo is just amazing.

So I painted the walls coral (Benjamin Moore 2169-40 "peach cobbler") and I bought some fabric from Hobby Lobby for the curtains (a white muslin and "spearmint" cotton). I love it with the Broyhill Brasilia bedroom set we have and it just makes the room feel so happy when the sun pours in through that south window.

Of course, the walls and one of the corners feel a little naked, and I'm still short one nightstand, so we're not done yet! But boy does that color make a world of a difference!

My Space

So here are some more shots of my room. This was really fun to decorate! I'm still trying to figure out what to do with my bed since it doesn't match the rest of my set (the bed is like a more reddish brown, whereas the rest of the set is walnut). I can try to get a matching bedframe or I can just go in a totally different direction and get a metal frame or something like that. I haven't decided yet. I also want to change up my comforter, which is just white right now. I'm thinking gray would go nicely, but I think I have to be careful I don't have too many patterns going on that it gets overwhelming!

For anyone interested in where I got some of these things...
