Built-In Beauties

Our Emma is wanting a bedroom make-over and the one thing she has voiced is that she wants it to be Black & White. Another thing she wants is an unusual bed. "I am an unusual girl so why would I want a normal bed?" is what she always says. She has even sketched out a few ideas to show TheHandyMan but so far nothing has been finalized.

Tonight I was looking around at  bed ideas and found a Dutch Bed or as I call them Built-In Beds. I am now on a mission to do get TH to do one of these in her room. My reasoning is that is will free up floor space and add extra storage at the same time -- a win-win right?!?

Here are some beds I found that are my inspiration -- we will see what Miss Em thinks ;)

Hopefully TheHandyMan and Miss Emma will agree with my idea and design something specifically for her.
I will keep you posted :)

Have a great weekend!

Plain to Pretty : Ikea Billy Bookend Makeover

A few weeks ago I had my Ikea Initiation and I am working on my "want" list for the next time we go. :) One of the things I picked up was a Billy "B" Bookend. The one I got was a cream color and I am just a fan of cream as it simply does not work in our home so  I made a few changes.
