Bedding Refresh with Whim

My favorite time of the year to do a bedding refresh is in Spring. Spring always feels like a re-fresh for the soul, its the time of the year your home gets a nice deep cleaning, pillows get refreshed and windows get opened first thing in the morning letting crisp cool air fill your home. 

I love anything Martha, as in Martha Stewart and was thrilled (huge understatement) 
to team up with Martha Stewart Living and complete a Spring bedding makeover with the new bedding line Martha Stewart Whim, now available at Macy's in store March and online. I've been a long time Martha fan, I love that she effortlessly combines chic, timeless in all things she touches. My oldest sons bedding has been in need of a fresh look for Spring season, the plan is to layer in key pieces of bedding essentials from Whim with a few of his existing bedding. 

For his new bedding we choose the Martha Stewart Whim Different Strokes Quilt, along with the Different Strokes Sham paired with Stripe Sheets. To say I love how his bedding refresh turned out is an understatement. His bed now looks so grownup, comfortable, while still looking like a teen. I'm a huge believer in making sure kids rooms feels like the kid that actually dwells in the room. I'm happy to say this feels like my son.

 I also love the pretty quilted stitching detail on the quilt and how each strip almost feels brushed on and relaxed verses pretty lines. 

Just had to share this picture of Martha Stewart from her modeling days in NYC, love that her iconic image is on the her new bedding line. In addition to these cute stripe sheets from Martha Stewart Whim, there are several more sheet collections that your going to love too, from cute dots, floral prints and cute flamingos! To see more of Martha's new collection, please click here. 

My son is super happy with how his Spring refresh turned out, he said his bed feels perfectly comfortable and perfect for hours of playing on his WII U, and that makes me happy! Next up on our agenda for his room is hanging up more artwork, shelves for storage and possibly a desk revamp / change up. Stay tuned.

#Swap It Like Its Hot: Flea Market Swap

Morning friends! I teamed up with a slew of creative bloggers swapping flea markets finds and then making them over. Here's the deets, shop [items from a flea market, thrift store etc] for a fun item for another blogger to makeover, spending between $10-15 bucks and then send them the item and they get creative making it over. My Swap buddy was Christy from Our Southern Home. Christy sent me several gold frames and wood leaf tray. 

I recently saw some cute frames on Pinterest turned into pin cushions and love d the idea of turning one of the little frames Christy sent me into a pin cushion. I thought it would make the perfect cute addition to my sewing box.

I looked though my fabric stash and decided to use this  green floral fabric I bought a while ago. I stuffed the inside with batting and wrapped the fabric in cardboard and then hot glued the bottom down.

The pin cushion turned out so cute and will come in handy during my sewing projects

I have a few ideas for the other items, that I received I plan on using the other frames in a gallery wall. I'm thrilled with how my Swap It Likes Its Hot project turned out. My swap partner was Shavonda from SG Style, make sure you pop over to her blog and see what I sent her plus, see what she did! I can't wait to head over there too!
