Uhhh Ohhhh... It's GO Time!...

Our tenant/BFF is now moving out one month early - meaning March 1st!! - meaning I've gotta get my butt in gear and order all the goodies to get it up and running ASAP as a furnished short-term rental! Especially because French Quarter Fest & Jazz Fest are right around the corner...

Things that are a must:

Order 2 new ceiling fans:

DIY a rustic floor length mirror. Inspiration pic below. I plan on getting a rough old door (possibly old wood) and gluing on a cheapie floor length mirror.... and done! Shouldn't be too hard right?!




Hospital curtain tracks for all windows... learned this trick from my boss. It's a super inexpensive way to hang curtains and they will be mounted right up to the ceiling - so extra drama!
New bedding! I'm hoping to find something great at Marshal's or something really inexpensive.... bedding is what's gonna kill me I'm afraid price wise - I need really soft & luxurious - it needs to feel like a hotel. If you have any favorites for bedding let me know! (I do like Thomas O'Brien from Target)



Possible light fixture for bathroom... I know it's everywhere but I need cheap and good looking! OMG you should see the gross light in there now!! eeeeww




Some bedroom inspiration...


I already have this mirrored chest and I love the colors in the image below...


You may remember my previous post about my love of this image: (Marilyn has been purchase and I'm hoping to blow her up huge!)


And now I'm kinda into a rust-orange color!? Similar to the pillows below... just a little hint of the color - if I can find the right shade of orange!


SO, I will definitely keep y'all posted as the rental gets a face lift and furnished!! It's GO time!

Where do you buy the hospital tracks for the curtains?

Hey Tracy - here's a link to where I'll probably get mine. But my boss told me to get an extra packet of the "wheel carriers" to make sure the curtains stay in place...
