Tomorrow our house is being shot for the November issue of Woman’s Day Magazine. It’s hard to believe that there will be a whole crew of people here – photographer, editor, stylist, even hair and makeup! – focusing on us and our home.  Over the next few days I’ll give you a few sneak peeks of the final product (well, pre-stylist which I think will make all the difference).  There have been a number of big changes that have happened over the course of the last week or two.

First up is the bedroom. Yesterday (yes, I know… down to the wire) I got these fabulous Serena & Lily bar carts to use as nightstands. I love how light they are. Of course, we now have to use some strategic boxes (thanks IKEA) for storage on the shelves but it’s so nice to see the wallcovering panels through the back.

So much better than these black voids that we had before, don’t you think?

And a couple shots of the very minimal styling I have done so far to the rest of the room (I think the jewelry box needs to be removed and maybe we need to add a lamp).
