I would love to show you our bedroom. But it's scary. It's one of those spaces that hasn't been touched since before the kids have started coming and is a general dropping off point for cra.. I mean stuff when we are coming and going.
In fact, I don't think I've even seen the top to my dresser in a while.
I'll show you these inspiration photos instead. They are much prettier and much less horrifying to look at.

I am thinking about something serene and relaxing.

With a warm blue or pale cozy green.

White trim to make it pop,

With just a bit of pretty thrown in.

I love the hint of brown on the bedspread and the celery colored footboard.

Just a retreat for the two of us.

I understand......our room ends up being a catch all too....I want a pretty room, too.

I love all the inspiration photo's! Can't wait to see what you do with yours! Our room is on the Tackle List! ~lulu
ReplyDeleteThat first photo makes me happy every time I see it!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteI'm still trying to get my room just right.
I don't know why, but it never feels right to me.
I love the paint color in the third photo. Any idea what it's called?
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely rooms! Mine is a tip!
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! I would love to know the paint color in picture #4.

OMgoodness Jen, the first 3 were my top inspiration pics for my master re-do..which is still languishing away waiting for finishing touches. :)
ReplyDeleteI like that last shot too...just recently saw that somewhere...
I like the whole calming retreat look for my bedroom too. Yesterday I posted a picture of my dream bed. My husband is going to build it for me, but there are projects ahead of the bed, so I am trying to be patient. I love just walking into my very clean room and feeling at peace. Doesn't happen often, but I love it when it does! ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou've got some great inspirational pictures to work from.

Those room slook like the perfect place to relax and get into a good book. The last bedroom is the beez kneez though, I'm so into grays and turquoise right now.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful inspiration rooms...I actually featured the one with the Mirror behind the bed as one of my inspirations when I was creating my bedroom - still in process :-)
ReplyDeleteHugs,

I love the room with the green walls. I love green.
ReplyDeleteThe celery bed is lovely too!
Oh dear...if you could only see our bedroom! Eeek. I'm so ready to whip it into shape. Thanks for the inspiration! Blue and green are two of my favorite things. :)
ReplyDeletejen, you found gorgeous images!
ReplyDeletei love the bed with the tied slipcovers
so lovely

ok, so i can't say that i am like you in the organic/baking department. but girl you and i are kindred spirits in what our bedrooms look like. mine is in dire need of a makeover buy i too would have to get rid of the piles of crap first. i will just dream with your photos. the 3rd one is my favorite!!
ReplyDeleteFirst time reader/commenter here (via Thrifty Decor Chick)...I can SOOO agree with the master bedroom being filled with..stuff. That is sooo true. I've got the paint color picked out, fabric for the curtains...a bed to antique/distress, a desk for doing the same thing to...everything but time to do it all!
ReplyDeleteThe inspiration photos are great, btw, and I'm sorry I'm only just now finding you!
