Have you heard about “Blue Boy and Pinkie“.
Well apparently they are pretty awesome and now they are in our Master Bedroom.
My husbands grandma gave us these needlepoint pieces which she made! I feel like these add just the right amount of historical and sentimental feel to our room. Pinkie sits above my nightstand and of course the Blue Boy is above my husbands.
And how awesome are my new lampshades. We finally got some! These lamps are from PB Teen. The lamps themselves were $20 each and the shades where a whopping $35 each. I seriously feel like I waited years for them to go on sale and it never happened so I just sucked it up and bought them. I thought about making them myself but could never find the right size drum shade.
I love them.
Now I just need some awesome window treatments.
I love pinkie;)
That are really lovely paintings, and they really fits into your bedroom:)
Lovely greetings…
i love them- they look great and you're right- they do add that more historical touch. LOVE those lamps! the color and shape are great!
I LOVE that bird pillow! Where is it from?
I love your pillows! Where are they from?!
Your bedroom is coming along really nicely! Those lamps are great, and worth the wait!
Those pillows are amazing. I'm with brooklyn924 – where did you get them?
Your bedroom is so adorable! I love the new additions. My grandparents had paintings like that in their house. I think we have them in our attic somewhere…but I can't remember.
fabulous. love the pictures…love your lamps with the royal blue…don't even get me starrrrrted on your pillows. amazing!
Your room is looking very nice so far… I have the same problem with the off center window behind my bed. It took me FOREVER to get the perfect curtains in there. I finally found curtains at Burlington Coat Factory for $20/panel!!! Worth the wait! Here's the link if you want to take a peek.

i am dying over those needlepoints! they are just beautiful. i love the amount of work that goes into each one and the textures can't be beat. love your new lampshades and lamps!
Oh wow! Love the pillows, the lamps, the paintings…and that rich blue. I also love that you didn't make your room look perfect (the digital clock and the laptop are still there…). It's fun to see how people really live in house photos…and not always see such a magazine-perfect shot.
my grandma + grandpa had these paintings hanging in their house while i was growing up and when my grandma died, they got rid of them. i'm still so sad about it — i wish i had spoken up and claimed them! they are beautiful, and for me have a very sentimental attachment!
Great touch to the room–and I love the lamps! So Cute.
how charming are they?? love.
I think $35 for a lamp is pretty reasonable… (this is why I don't shop for home stuff often, its pricey), but I must be shopping at the wrong places. Everything in nyc is overpriced.
ooohhhh I like…like the pillows too!
Love Blue Boy and Pinkie. The lamps are great too, pretty good price I think.
I am STILL trying to pick a paint color for our room. Stressing over it.
Love the night stands and new addition. You're so talented Kirsten. I hope to grow up to be just like you! We need to get together soon!
Hugs

My parents had Blue Boy and Pinkie hanging above their bed my whole childhood! I cannot believe that those are needlepoint.
My nana had faux paintings of the pink girl and blue boy. She called them "Chico & Elaine." How fun! Never thought of Chico and Elaine as chic accessories!
The Blue Boy must have been popular to needlepoint- I have the same thing from my Great Grandmother : http://everythingleb.blogspot.com/2008/09/blue-boy.html
