One Room Challenge Update – What I’ve Bought and What I’m Buying

***This post contains affiliate links.  If you click on one and make a purchase, I may earn a small commission***  This week the One Room Challenge was mostly about buying stuff and planning on buying stuff.  Pretty fun, huh?

I bought this bedspread that I am obsessed with.  I understand that not everyone is going to appreciate this somewhat granny-ish style.  But for me, it’s perfect.  Exactly what I wanted.    It’s sort of romantic and old fashioned, but not fussy.  It’s listed as white, but it’s shy of white, more of a vanilla color.

I would really love to hear thoughts on the bedspread.  I’ve been known to like some quirky things and I am pretty sure this is one of those things that no one will like but me.  I think I’m going to pull it off though.  I do.

I will be visiting my friend Ikea in the coming days to purchase my go to white curtains, the Vivan set of two for $9.99 a pair.  I did research other curtains, but I have used the Vivan curtains before and I like them.  I thought about going with an off white on the curtains, but I think crisp white curtains are mistake proof.  I am also thinking about trying these roller blinds from Ikea:

IKEA - LISELOTT, Roller blind, 23x77 ", , The blind is cordless for increased child safety.Can be mounted inside or outside the window frame, or in the ceiling.You can cut the right side of the roller blind (up to 8") to fit your window.:

That is tough to see, but there is a pattern on the shade that I think will be pretty cool.  I’ll have to see them in person before I make my final decision.  The smallest size is just $14.99.

I’m also on the look out for a mirror for what will be my desk/vanity.  Something like this:

Or this:

I’m also contemplating adding another color into the color scheme.  And I’m leaning toward emerald green.  Just a touch, in a throw pillow (which I swore I would not use in this post, but the one below is not fussy in any way!)

Okay, and maybe one more throw pillow:

 This weekend I’m planning on being busy updating my childhood desk into a vanity.  I hope to share it next week!
