We actually got our bedroom mirror at West Elm (it was a wedding gift from John) but Ikea has similar ones that are even cheaper (a lot cheaper actually). Hope it helps!

I am loving your blog! A friend introduced it to me a few weeks ago and I have already been inspired to revamp my bedroom. I am looking for a floor length mirror to add in and I L.O.V.E. the one you have moved into your bedroom…where did you get it?? Thank you so much for all of the advice and ideas you share!! I would be living in a blah house from now until forever without your blog, lol!!

Beautiful re-do! I love your idea for making the tabletop larger–so clever, yet so simple. And the mirror looks perfect there, too!

Elizabeth- Love it. The dog crate post is totally on our to-do list. We’ll put on our thinking caps and hopefully deliver some creative ideas. Fingers crossed…

Erin- The vase is from Marshall’s for $14 (we’ve also seen identical versions at TJ Maxx). Hope that helps!

I love it! You guys always have the best little fixes to make a space that much more friendly and beautiful. So, where did you get the glass jug/vase on the floor. I love it and have been looking for something similar (and not painfully priced) for awhile now.

How to incorporate dog crates into your home stylishly might be a good blog topic! I’ve seen some in catalogs that are built in to furniture, but they are so expensive and the furniture isn’t that great. I’m sure you two could come up with some better options.

Elizabeth, I let you know if anything tragic or uncomfortable happens to us as a result of bad feng shui. Let me know if you come across anything in all of your white elephant gifts. :)

Diana, we moved Burger’s dog crate into the tiny closet in our guest bedroom. We realized it fit perfectly in the floor space of that closet (which took a little bit of work to clear out). Maybe we’re lucky because he’s a small dog. We of course leave the door open when he’s in the crate, but can close it whenever we have company. Hope that helps!

What happened to the crate? We have a hard time incorporating it into our living room and I’m curious what you guys did with it. :)

I’m not sure what you should look out for?! I think I’m just paranoid b/c I’ve gotten too many feng shui books for white elephant Christmas presents!

Glad you guys dig our new bedroom digs. (And thanks for catching our funny math, Jen).

Reichel, the room is definitely pretty light overall, but these new dark accents just play up some of the darker tones we’ve already got in our platform bedframe and headboard. Sorry we can’t get a good pic of it all together. We just need a bigger bedroom, I guess.

Elizabeth, I’ll admit I don’t know enough feng shui (or dare I say, believe enough in feng shui) to know whether we’ve messed anything up by putting the mirror at the foot of the bed. I’m mainly just enjoying finally able to see my whole outfit in the morning while I’m getting ready for work. How would I know if my feng shui is off? Should I watch out for lightning bolts?

Chris, we’ll let you copy as long as you promise after pics! :)

Thanks as always for the comments, everyone.
