A change of season in the Master Bedroom

           ~Warming up the Master Bedroom~

With the cooler months upon us, it was time to switch my summer bedding to something with warmer tones.

The coverlet and shams I've had, they came from Linen Source the color ivory. The duvet is new from Pottery Barn, it was on clearance the pattern  is Graciela Palampore, & the monogrammed velvet pillow is from Ballards in Latte.

At first I folded the duvet at the foot of the bed but it hid so much of the pretty pattern, so I opened it up. I like it so much better this way.

The check table skirt goes great with it. I changed the vignette up a bit too.

I bought the vase in Home Goods over the summer and just added some feathers and twigs. 
Another new pillow on the chair too, I can't help myself;)

See the highboy in the mirror below. I'm thinking of painting it, to break up all the dark furniture in here.

The vignette on my dresser pretty much stayed the same, I just pulled this bird print out that I had stored away and layered it against my mirror. I like this look.

Note to self....update kids picture!

I hope you enjoyed the little tour of my "Winter" master bedroom! Thanks so much for stopping by, your visits & sweet comments make my day!

The Aftermath of Hurricane Sandy

 Hurricane Sandy did a significant amount of damage to the tri-state area. Thousands of people flooded out of their homes and large power outages throughout the area, this is expected to last for the next week or so! Sadly tragedy was also reported.

 Minimal damage here compared to other areas. In our development we mostly saw down trees and roof shingles blown off.

 The next few pictures are from Fox 5 news.

 I've lived in NY all my life and I've never seen so much damage and devastation caused by a storm!

 After all the devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy, look what we woke up to this morning!

 Such a large area of the country was affected by Hurricane Sandy, please keep them all in your thoughts and prayers.
 Praying your all safe!

 

Hurricane Sandy is on it's way!!

 Hurricane Sandy is heading our way!! I added a little star to show approximately where we are.

We are expected to get damaging sustained winds of 40 mph gusting to 60 to 70 mph, with major flooding and large area power outages. They already evacuated coastal areas and certain sections of NYC where they are expected to get a tidal surge of 6 to 11 feet!  Schools are already closed for tomorrow.

       Please keep all of those in Sandy's path in your thought and prayers.
                                 Stay safe!
