And finally I still have all of our wedding cards from our guests- some of them were very unique and fun! I was thinking of maybe framing the front of one of the cards for here as well.
So, overall it will be a very romantic space- which I think is appropriate for above our bed. I really appreciated your last responses- so let me know what you think of my suggestions today! :)
HAPPY FRIDAY.

I just adore the book. It is jam-packed with inspiring quotes and things to remember to love your life. I even brought it in to work today so that I could type up a few of the quotes to tack up in my cubicle. My mood has lifted already. I would definitely recommend you check this cute little book out. :)
Here are a couple of my favorite sayings from the book....
"Always be ready to have the time of your life." - Unknown.
"What is life for? It is for you." - Abraham Maslow.
"love the moment"
"love to be amazed"

I am CLUELESS as to what I want and what will work in our room. One concern that I have is that our headboard is round and not straight across like most of these pictures so I'm not sure what will look right. So- what do you think??? Do you LOVE any of my ideas above? Do you have anything else to show me that I might like??? I'm thinking that I need to just start messing around with some options in the room- but before you know it I'll probably have twenty nail holes in the wall!
Please help me!!

This adorable tank:
And scored these jeans for $30 on sale and I LOVE them:
And I saved the best for last. AE makes my absolute favorite undies IN THE WORLD- these boyshorts. They just happened to be running a special, 8 for $25- that is a killer deal so I had to snatch up some new ones. :)
From Top: The wall color is Tropical Bay by Valspar and the shade of white on the wainscotting is China Moon by Valspar {after 6 coats of primer&paint we got the colors right!}; The dresser was given to us by Andrew & Stacey and we just sanded it and put two coats of black paint on it- looks fabulous; the curtains are from BB&B and match the rest of our beige/tan accents to a tee; the fly dish is from etsy seller lgbrinkley and matches perfectly- including my bird theme; the bird figural is from Target that I scored on clearance; the balance bird pillow is from etsy seller lollipopguild and again matches the beige accent color perfectly; that bedding is not our exact bedding- I could not find a photo of it- but this one is pretty close {ours matches the wall color amazingly}; the lamp crystal ball lamp is from Target and I have had them since my bridal shower! {however the lampshades on ours are actually the beige color}; and the nightstands are from Ikea, I will just need to paint them black to match.
It is really coming together and looking great. I don't even feel like I am in my own house when I'm in there! Still on our list to get... another dresser{preferably a chest-type tall dresser}; a rug{I am thinking of a huge white shag rug?}; accessories{lots of picture frames and candles}; and also a trunk- we want to find a large{possibly antique} trunk in black that we can set at the end of our bed to store extra blankets and pillows. So keep an eye out for any of these items and be sure to let us know if you see something you think we would like!
And there you have it! Hopefully I can post the finished product soon!

And of course I have to give a huge CONGRATULATIONS to the cast, crew, producers, directors, Mark, fans and everyone else involved with OTH in any way for their 100th episode!!!! This is truly an AMAZING accomplishment and everyone single person associated with OTH deserves it whole-heartedly. This show is truly more than a television show to me. It inspires me-- I relate to everything and everyone so well- I feel like they are my friends. WAY TO GO! And let's bring season 5 home!!! {The 6 post-strike episodes begin airing on April 14th- yes that's right- moving to Monday nights!} And of course we'll see you for a GREAT season 6!
Finally got to go get my new MotoRokr today... BOY- if there was a more perfect phone for me, I would be shocked. I LOVE this thing! VERY similar to the iPhone, which I'm sure I would love just as much, but at a fraction of the cost... this thing is amazing! I love that it slides... very convienent and it holds a TON of my songs. My favorite thing that I have discovered so far... I'm listening to a song {which by the way you can listen to with headphones or just thru the speaker that plays loud!} and someone will call me, and it will just pop up on my screen and ask if I want to answer or ignore-- if I ignore the song keeps playing and if I answer the songs starts right back up at the end of the call- simply amazing!
Anyway, I will keep you updated. Since I just got it today I'm not sure if there are any quirks with it yet, but as of right now-- I am seriously LOVING this thing!!!

All in all we had a pretty great weekend! We got to spend lots of time just hanging out with our friends and we also almost completely finished our bedroom! I'm pretty happy about that! And of course, having the luck of the Irish on your side can't hurt either! ;)
