The bedding crisis has been HANDLED!

So, as you may or may not remember not so long ago we had a Massive Bedding Crisis the material our bedding was made of just caused everything to stick to it...ugh!  and It was just a little to dark for our fresh new look.  So with the oppinions of a few of you Lovelyyy ladies and an amazing price from Overstock.com and really just a deal I could not pass up I chose our current bed set...a 25 piece room set for 100 dollars!

And I thought maybe y'all would like to see it...so here ya are...what do ya think?

this isn't all of it just the comforter and all the beautiful pillows!  The white throw is from pier 1

I really am crazy about the colors the yellows and blues!  And even the light browns!  Also I was shocked when I got it because it looks NOTHING like the picture on the website and I like it SO much more than I thought I was going to!



So thank you for reading, and to the ladies who gave their oppinions on my previous post THANK YOU for steering me in the right direction!  We couldn't be happier!

A New Look

So, I got a haircut a while back...long layers, short bangs...

I hadn't had anything done to my hair for almost a year and I LOVE it!  So it got me thinking, a new look equals a new outlook!  What else can I change up to give me a new and fresh attitude towards my life?!  I haven't done much to Fort Lester since we first got settled up in here, but now that My husband is home I'm planning on changing things up QUITE A BIT!  And I am SO excited!  Our room is a cool blue-gray and much lighter than I've ever painted a room!  But I absolutely adore the color and I've never ever been one for 'blues' but this color is so calming, peaceful, and sweet!  I can't get over how nice it came out!  Glad I took a chance!  I'm wanting to get a very clean feel, and if possible an antique, and country look!

Any Ideas?  What colors do you like?  What is the look that you are going for in your home?

So I hope you stick around and catch all the updates to our little home!

The Great Bedding Crisis of 2012

So we've had our bedding about two years now, and not only am I needing a change but it's just gotten a little flat and clumpy, there are little white fuzzies sticking to it that just don't seem to want to go away no matter what I do to the darn thing!  With husband coming home soon new bedding seems like my last 'big purchase' for awhile and I'm fine with that.  This year we'll be making lots of modifications and changes and upgrades to Fort Lester, new bedding is in order!  I also need that as my piece to go off over for future decorating...I'm that person that needs a piece to work around, if it's an outfit than it's the shoes, scrapbooking the background paper,  my room it's the blankets.  I want lighter colors, yellows, greens, blues, grey and if there is going to be a 'darker' color it'll be brown

I have some choices here that I've been looking at maybe I could get some help?!  Check out these links if you've got a minute and tell me honestly...what do y'all think???

This is one from JC penny

Option 1 from overstock

Option 2 from overstock

Option 3 from overstock

Option 4 from overstock

I have checked walmart, kmart, target, dillards, pottery barn, overstock, bed bath and beyond, amazon...found things I like but only a couple have really 'spoken' to me...ya know?  My personal favorites; the JC penny choice because of the color and pattern, and overstock 1 and 2 and 4...the problem with the JC penny one is it's the most expensive and doesn't come with anything really and I would just really like a set (including sheets!) if at all possible...and I know it kind of seems like I'm asking for the impossible...but I'm going to keep on with the search lol...♥

Do you know any other good places to look for bedding?  Did you like any of those links?  Do you have any ideas for my room?! How do you handle bedding situations or is it really not on your 'important' list?
