Cozy Corners: bedroom edition

Hello!  I hope all you gorgeous souls had a beautiful weekend!

Today I thought I would do a cozy corners post, since it has been forever since I did one.  I thought I would share our bedroom with you.  It is one of my favorite rooms in our house, and it is truly a place where I find solace and quiet.    We moved into our house about 10 years ago, and when we were first picking out colors for the walls I was obsessed with painting our bedroom walls red.  Like dark, blood red.  So that is what we did, and I did really loved it.  Fast forward to about 8 years later, and the red just felt to heavy and dark to me.  I needed something lighter and airer.  We decided on a light green, and let me tell you the difference has been amazing.  The room feels bigger (it is definitely not big), more relaxing, and serene.  Honestly, if I could change the wall colors in our house every couple months I would totally do it.  Even though the word paint makes my husband cringe.  Here are some peeks inside our cozy space:

I really love each piece that is in our room.  Over the years we have collected a lot of art that we love, and some of our favorite pieces are in our room.

This little shelf above I have for my  sacred space.  It holds all the little treasures that hold special meaning and energy.  My little crystal grid changes with each new and full moon.  

These are some of my favorite pieces that adorn our walls.  You can never have enough beautiful art that speaks to you, at least in my opinion.  I truly feel that when you walk into someones home it should be a reflection of their soul.  Even though a house is just a building, the man I share this space with, the laughter, and the memories are what really make this our home.

Cozy corners

Thank you all so very much for you words of love and support yesterday.  Feeling much better today, with a brighter outlook.  I know it is going to take a lot of time and work to let this heartache go, but I am never going to stop trying.
Now, onto something a bit more cheery around here.  I thought once every couple weeks I would introduce a little part of my home that is my favorite.  A little spot that holds some special things that mean the world to me. Introducing cozy corners....

This little corner is actually in our entryway.  The red cabinet is a vintage piece from the early 1900's from Ethan Allen.  It was actually used as a dry sink when it was created.  You would have a basin and a pitcher of water for washing up. Oh how times have changed, modern plumbing I love you!  This piece belonged to my husbands grandparents, and his grandma Ina Belle painted it this gorgeous color before she passed.  It holds a lot of memories for us, especially my husband.
We use it for our record player and to hold some of our favorite albums, we also have some of our favorite art pieces hanging over it.  Now onto some of the pieces it holds:

This little owl light is actually a Scentsy warmer, but I just use it as a cute little lamp. It gives off the warmest glow.  These three books I keep close because they are some of my favorites.  The vintage polaroid was actually purchased from Katelyn of Gypsy Moth Sol from an online garage sale. 

I kind of have a thing for beautiful winged critters.  This is a Darwin butterfly and I found her from Bugs Under Glass.  The most important thing is that all their pieces are ethically made, and harvested.  

This piece is one of my favorites we have in our house.  The quote is one of my faves, by my favorite poet of all time Mary Oliver.  Her words speak right to my soul, and the artist Katie Daisy just makes the most beautiful art.

This piece is hands down one of the most awesome things I have ever purchased from Etsy.  It is a custom painting I had made for my husband last month for our 14th(!!) anniversary. The shop is called NewspaperBalloon, and the artist Ariel is so amazing.  She was so spot on in capturing us, and two of our girls.  I couldn't be happier, and highly recommend her!

This piece is from Marisol Spoon, and I seriously wish I could own every single piece she makes.  I just love her.

These last two pieces are tiny, but I love them.  The top is a picture of a vintage Brownie camera that I would love to own.  I got the print here.  The last picture on the bottom is of Shakespeare & Co. in Paris.  I have dreamed of visiting this bookstore and Paris since I was a teenager.  I got the print here.  

I hope you enjoyed this very first cozy corner post.  I love seeing other peoples homes and their pieces that they treasure, and I hope you do too!
