Happy first day of April! Over the weekend, I took a few photos of our bedroom to share with you. It’s sloooowly but surely coming along. The newest addition is a pair of awesome emerald colored lamps from Lamps Plus, which I love!! I think they make such a difference in the room (see what it looked like before here). If you can’t afford to totally remodel your whole bedroom, or if you’re working on it in stages like we are, try giving it a little refresh with some new lamps and fresh flowers. Just a little update can make it feel new again--and ready for spring!

I’m obsessed with the gemstone shape of these lamps. They come in a bunch of different colors too. I considered the pink lamps, but I thought emerald would pair better with our bedding--and it's a little more husband-friendly. Ben already tolerates a lot of pink in the house!

I’m also obsessed with these ranunculus on my nightstand. They make me happy every time I see them!

That herringbone frame is from Target, and the bud vase is from Goodwill. As for the books on my nightstand, I totally recommend them all. I’m trying to finish Divergent soon, so we can go see the movie! See more of the books I’ve been reading lately here.

Our nightstands were also thrift store finds. We painted them white and added the glass knobs a couple years ago. The gold alarm clock is from a flea market in San Diego. And our duvet cover is from Crane & Canopy.

We still have a lot of things to get before the bedroom will feel complete, but with the new lamps I’m feeling a whole lot better about it! What room are you in the middle of working on? And what books are on your nightstand?

Thanks to Lamps Plus for partnering with me on this post! They have a HUGE selection of fabulous lighting and more.

Name, please

   Looks so amazing Aileen, I love the shape of those lamps! They definitely add a lot to the room – it makes a big difference to have something substantial on the two bedside tables. I'm still working on my bedroom refresh but it's so close now :)
