Bedroom Updates...

I have recently been in the mood to decorate and since the majority of my house is well...already decorated I figured I would focus my attention on my bedroom. For me a bedroom has to be comfy, cozy, relaxing and of course stylish! So I decided that I needed just a few updates, not a total re-do. First I found this beautiful duvet cover that looks just like this one from West Elm, but I got mine from Bouclair. I then added a beautiful goose feather duvet (from Walmart! you'd be surprised how hard it is to find a double duvet cover) a white bedskirt and a luxurious grey, white and black throw both  from HomeSense.

So what do you guys think, you like my room? I am thinking of changing up the drapes, but I really haven't found anything I love yet, and I am on the hunt for some decorative pillows for the bed, maybe one like this mangolian lamb pillow cover from west elm in grey, but I may try and see if I can find a more cost friendly version, maybe from HomeSense.

Favourite Christmas Movies

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around my house lately, and when this happens I get in the mood to eat gingerbread cookies, cuddle up with a warm throw on the couch, sip some hot cocoa and watch my favourite Christmas films.

I was raised by a single mother and because of this I was always very close to my grandparents growing up, in fact we all used to live under the same roof when I was a kid. I look to my grandparents as second parents, especially my grandfather who instilled in me a love of old films. So it's no surprise that some of my favourite Christmas movies are classics.

#1: Has to be for me, Meet me in St. Louis...the musical numbers, the fabulous Judy Garland, the story, the family bonding, the love story, the location!! I love it all.

#2: It's a Wonderful Life... the lessons learned, the talented acting of James Stewart and Donna Reed, the beautiful story of family, this movie always makes me cry!

So my question is what are some of your favourite holiday films?

Oh and I almost forgot...head over to Kerry's great blog First Time Fancy where I am guest blogging today, to see what my "perfectly imperfect" kitchen looks like!
