I am helping one of my good friends with her master bedroom.

We have a few “must haves” narrowed down, one being a linen tufted bed.

We plan on getting the bed locally made. That way we can select the exact fabric that we want and hopefully save a few $$ too.

The hardest part about creating a custom piece of furniture finding the perfect fabric.

We have decided to go with a charcoal linen, but linens can get pretty pricey.

A couple weeks ago, Jenny from the LGN mentioned that one of Emily Henderson’s favorite linens for upholstery projects is Gray Lines Warsa Linen. The best part, it is $9.00/yard for $100% linen!

I immediately looked it up and ordered the swatch card. 

When the card arrived, I was more than impressed with the colors.

They are even better than in person, and the D.Grey is the perfect charcoal.

Although I loved the colors offered, I was a little concerned about the quality considering the price.

So, I emailed Emily Henderson to ask her about it.

And to my surprise, she emailed me back almost immediately!

Here is what she had to say:

Don’t worry, me and Emily are now BFF.

Anyways, if you are on the hunt for a linen, this one comes highly recommended.

I can’t wait to get this headboard made!

My living room rug has seen better days.

It has served us well over the last few years, but it needs to be replaced.

Unfortunately, rugs are so expensive and there is a big possibility that we will be moving for Intern year next June, making me not want to invest too much in a new one.

I know painted rugs have been around for a while, but I have seen a few inspiring ones lately.

I absolutely love Sarah’s, from Sarah M. Dorsey Designs, Moroccan painted rug.

It sure does look amazing, and can you beat $60.00?

I also love this geometric painted rug featured on Design Sponge.

The coral is stunning!

Do you think this is a DIY worthy project? 

Or would you spend the money on a “real” rug?

I came across this nursery, on Me Oh My, last week and fell in love.

Although I typically like to add color and pattern to my interiors, I think a nursery is the perfect place to keep things simple.

That rocker is to.die.for.

And I adore the small prints and large mats!

Doesn’t the whole room seem like it is full of items gathered over time?

This antiqued wardrobe couldn’t be more perfect.

So pretty.

Now if only I had 3 bedrooms instead of 2…boo!

I am thrilled to say I am 13 weeks. Not so sure why that is monumental for me, but it just feels so good.

My belly is definitely starting to expand, seems a little large for 13 weeks (agree?), but no complaints here.

My pants are feeling a little snug and my shirts are just not fitting right, it is time for me to go shopping.

Actually, what I really need is Syndey from The Daybook to come and dress me.

I plan on copying her maternity style, it rocked.

I wish I could say my exhaustion is coming to an end, but I can’t seem to survive the day without one (and sometimes two) naps.

Thank goodness Emory will lay beside me with the iPad and let me get some much needed rest. There are definite benefits to having an almost 5 year gap between children.

Also…call me crazy, but I think I can feel the baby move.

Is that possible? Or should I be chalking it up to gas bubbles? Seems a little early but I feel a little flutter every day.

Lastly, I have loved reading every email/comment about pregnancy and the challenges that come with it. It really is amazing how many woman struggle with this very issue. Keep them coming, I would love to hear all of your stories 🙂
