Taste of Tuscan.

I just completed redecorating our master bedroom and I can finally say that I'm at peace with the look.  The room is dressed in a Tuscan style with colors reminiscent of the sun, floral fabric, antique furniture respectfully marked with wood carvings.  Romantic, yet rustic.  Fashionable, yet functional.

Tuscan Master Bedroom

Vanity inherited from Keenan's grandmother.

I was inspired by an evening on the Home Goods website reading decor tips and watching their designer secrets videos.  I ended up taking a "Find My Style" quiz courtesy of their site and this was my result: "You value creativity. You are stylish and fun loving, and can be an inspiration to others. You have a natural sense of drama, and you know you have to be willing to take risks." UM, kind of scary how accurate that is to who I am. It was just a decorating quiz!  Now back to my decorating discovery...

In the days following I took local trips to design-on-a-dime stores like Home Goods, Kirkland's, and my beloved Marshalls.  I walked down every aisle (my kids practically fell asleep in the cart) waiting for the right piece to catch my eye and often walked out without a single purchase to award my time.  Then I found the perfect chair at Kirkland's, originally $129, on sale for $79, limited time sale for $59.  I also got satin brown ruffled pillows on clearance for $8.97 plus additional 30% off.  My floor rug was found at Costco on Instant Manufacturer's Rebate from $12.99 down to $8.99 and my quilt comforter was purchased yearrrrsss ago from Costco and is conveniently "reversible" from light brown to off-white.  So I flipped the thing over.

The rest of the room fell together on the same whim.  We purchased furniture from Keenan's aunt who moved to North Carolina.  The furniture was compliments of her cabin and purchased for garage-sale prices (you can't beat that).  Among the items are a Tiffany lamp and dresser drawers.  Of course I do not exclude my husband in my decorating.  I let him set up his SF Giants bobbleheads on top of our new dresser.

Tuscan, villa inspired surroundings.  Rustic and somehow romantic.  Energetic, sun-worthy colors. Fashionable, functional to every day living.  I feel like I've tailored our master bedroom to suit our lives.
