Stranger Danger

 I came across this photo today as I uploaded my camera.

This is our bedroom and it looked this way until about two months ago. It looked this way because I'm a hunter. I look and look until I find what I want and love.

 I'm not very good at capturing spaces. 
I love everything in this room (except the lamps, I digress), but it all just fell together quickly and randomly...
A few months ago a local place called and told us that they had a king headboard we had paid for 5 months prior and never picked up. I told the girl there was no way. We had bought the same headboard (queen sized) for our guest room, but never paid for another one. We would have known. We are just too tight to let several hundred dollars disappear, but they insisted we pick it up and we did. I didn't want this as our headboard, but it was free so what the heck. 
After a few months on the hunt for fabric for a bedskirt, I found one dirt cheap at Wisteria. It's the color of the pillows. Sort of a dark khaki. Which is fine, and actually looks really nice. 
I have been eyeing the mirrors for several months when my mom found them in the warehouse sale at Wisteria for dirt cheap and snagged them for me. The ikat, however, was not cheap, but it looks good. 

And just for good measure...
The dogs enjoy their bed that was paid for...
