My personality is to change it all, to start a project in every room, and then not complete a single one. So I'm thinking I want to change up my bedroom first. Don't know why, but it's the one that seems like I could get done the easiest.
I've been really inspired lately by a couple of bloggers like this one from The Lettered Cottage:
LOVE the horizontal stripes,the faux plank ceiling, and the shelving arrangement.Or this from Hometown Girl:
Or these bedroom shots from Resolved to Worship. (You can't copy/paste her photos anymore.) I LOVE how she mixes tins and metals with the rustic touches. I could SO do a curtain "rod" like that. Maybe I will! ;) And, "hello black and white portraits. I need you."
Sigh...I must be crazy because this would NEVER work at our house. I'd love a white or tone-on-tone vintage/shabby house, but really our house CANNOT be white right now. Just too many little people live here. But can I do just our bedroom?
Am I crazy for thinking that I can keep a bedroom, if it's ours, nice and neat and WHITE (or beige/cream)? I probably am. I mean, I DID just find raspberry sparkle Lip Smackers in the dryer.
I'm just ready to decorate something. Anything. I need a change. Suggestions?

You and me both, sista.
BUT here's my thought about whites/creams (and don't forget pale grey, because it reads in the same color pallette!): if it's all mostly non-fabric items, then magic eraser covers your worries. And if you have one or two fabric items that are white, then you can just bleach it, right? We have had a cream duvet on our bed in the winter time for years; since before Em was born. It's got a few small splotches on it, but honestly they are not noticeable because it's a waffle texture.
Anyways. I say do it. ;)
P.S. Do you ever read Secret Garden Cottage? DREAM WORLD. But not for kiddos. Even though she has two girls, I'm not entirely convinced that they are not robots.
I love it all!!!! as much as I love color I am also totally drawn to that tone on tone look. You should totally do your bedroom...keep it cheep and easy and you won't cringe when you find sparkle lip smackers ;)
I can't beleive that girl refinished her furniture in 2 hours with a can of spray paint!!!!
Fun stuff!
I wanted to congratulate you on making the Nook DT finalist list and wish you lots of luck. It's so great to have you over there.
I am in love with your inspiration pieces. MY house could never pull of the white on white though...but it is sure nice to look at! I love you blog and I can't wait to see how your cure your itch!!
There must be something in the water - we've just decided to repaint all the rooms in our house (I must be crazy!!!). I love the white on white palette. You only live once - go for it! Cheers, Jules.
Love! It is always fun to dream
Hey girl!
Thanks for the sweet shout out! :-)
That bedspread on the bed in our reading room was only $9 at a local flea market, and you better believe there's animal hair all over that sucker on a regular basis. But that's what vacuums-before-company-comes-over are for right? LOL!
XOXO
WoW! love it. .=)
