Thrift Store = Inspiration?

So, who would've thunk that the thrift store could set the spark for my entire room design? Yesterday, I found this great buy at the thrifter for a whole $7.00, in all of its gold glory:


And thanks to a can of Rustoleum spray paint,

My finished product =:


So I am in awe of how the fact that the canary yellow lamp base has inspired my whole guest room motif!!!

These are my thoughts-

Lamp Shade


Duvet Cover:

 I could make a duvet cover out of this material by Waverly, or....














I'm completely coveting this Clover duvet cover by West Elm!  And it's only 60 clams! (plus shams of course)










Bed Skirt

I think this pattern would make an awesome bedskirt (found it and all of the other fabrics  here).



Pillows

I'm totally digging these patterns for fun throw pillows:


Headboard


So completely loving the upholstered headboard...plus thanks to all of the blogs I read (I'm completely obsessed with Young House Love....I seriously get made fun of at work because I am constantly on their blog getting immersed in inspiration! I check their blog so much (reading archives, etc.) I almost feel like a blog stalker, can you be a blog stalker to people you've never met but sure you could totally be friends with if you did know them? They have so many great ideas! I have half of our department hooked on their blog now! But anyway, back to the headboard...thanks to YHL and their tips/step by step info, I could totally DIY a headboard like this myself! That is, if Brad's dad would turn me loose on a piece of power equipment.....HA! I could see how that would go, can't you?
