:: master bedroom updates ::
there are two new additions in the casa, one small and one large. 
we have a new pop of blue with the throw pillow from Crane & Canopy.
when I got the e-mail alert that it back in stock, I jumped online to order it.
Now, I need to find something NOT BLUE pillow wise to use but I keep going back and forth and back and forth and can’t make up my mind. I want two square/euro square sizes, but what color?? or print??
because at the moment I’m most likely to just throw some of a tried a true favorite on there:

monograms for days.
send ideas please and help a sister out!!!
and the BIG addition that I had no problem deciding on is…….
our beautiful new artwork from Minted above our bed!

I was like “I’m gonna get something fun and colorful and spice up the bedroom and….. YEAH”
and then I was like “Oh my goodness the most neutral, subtle photo of Chicago I’ve ever seen and it matches our neutrals in our bedroom perfectly I’M SO BORING AND I LOVE IT”
I knew when I saw the skyline at sunset that I had to have it!
For the frame, I went with the ‘whitewashed french farmhouse’ and I love it. The frame is so beautiful and all of it perfectly complements our bedroom wall color.
This was the color of our walls when we moved in, but we love the color.
We found extra samples in the laundry room and have identified it as Sherwin Williams Lazy Grey. I highly recommend it; it’s beautiful at night and with lots of sunlight.
Kip is like “soooo does somebody need photography lessons for Christmas?”
Hey! You try taking a picture in the daylight without getting any reflections of your TV or your fan or your bed-head self with the camera standing on the bed or anything!
Besides, maybe people think my awful pictures are great… don’t people love reading blogs with amateur photos?? ….. I jest, I am awful and yes get me photography lessons 🙂
Thank you to Minted for the beautiful print!
as always, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
We used them for our Christmas cards last year, and will be doing the same again this year. Their customer service and quality is top notch!
Taylor, first off, I have to say I LOVE your blog! I've been a daily reader for a couple of years now. You're hilarious! My only wish is that I lived in Chicago so we can be friends in real life (creeper status? I hope not!). Anyway, to the point of my comment– your lamps…I love them! May I ask where you bought them? They are exactly what I've been looking for to put in my fiance's and my bedroom (we just got engaged 2 Saturdays ago…you better believe I'll be going back to reference your wedding posts!). Oh, and I think your bedroom is coming along fabulously! I sure do love a good home update. 🙂
Thanks!

Hi Erin! Thanks for reading 🙂 haha and yes I am sure we would be if you were here!
I got the lamps a while back (two years probably) at Marshalls. However I have still seen them over the years at Marshalls or Home Goods or TJ's, so you could still find em! And they were CHEAP CHEAP…. like… 30 dollars or something. We also got our living room lamps at Home Goods and I am obsessed, those were about 30 bucks each. I highly recommend taking a trip (and their stuff changes often so its a nice excuse to drag your fiancé there again and again!)
Thank you…I'll definitely check them out! Fingers crossed!
Love love love!! I think some monogrammed euro shams would be geat in the space or maybe something with a floral print.
So tranquil! I also love Lazy Gray! We painted our baby's room with it and then when we needed to repaint our bathroom because of new drywall we put it in there, too. It's the perfect neutral!
It looks great! I love the paint color and the painting above your bed brings the room together beautifully! Xo, Stephanie
