i have started my bedroom transformation...

The painting has begun...

...a splotch that is, now I have to finish.

I can't wait for my room to go from baby yellow....

desire to inspire

...to gorgeous charcoal! (can I have the dogs too?)

my other sister's bedroom re-do (coming soon)...

First, thanks for all the nice comments everyone left on my last post. I really do appreciate feedback and can't wait for more on upcoming posts!

Not only did I do my sister Catherine's bedroom this summer, but I also re-did my youngest sister's bedroom. I don't quite have the greatest pictures of it yet, but here is a sneak peek of how the bedroom turned out....

I hope you will all come back for more! I will keep you posted on the second "big reveal", I'm hoping I can get some good pictures up in a post within the next couple of weeks.

Until then you can read the posts that I wrote about her room back in July here and here.

quick post before bed...

I wanted to share a couple of pictures before I go to bed. I love how cozy both of these bedrooms are, they're so different but they just have some nice qualities. I love the contrast of the dark charcoal walls against the ivory and cream furniture and accessories. I originally found this in House Beautiful, but was reminded of the article when I was reading the newlywed diaries. I might share some pictures of the rest of this house tomorrow.

I love the combination of the blues, greens and grays in the room below, so calming. Can't forget that great bedding though, I can't get enough of that awesome pattern!

pretty white beds...

So I still want to put my suzani on my bed, but I just really like the look of a simple white bed, somewhat messy, but always cozy! At least with my suzani I can just take it off and I will still have my white duvet underneath. Sometime in the future I would also like to get a new bed frame. I want something much lower to the ground, possibly just a platform bed with no headboard.

I am really loving the casual look of these beds, something about them makes them very appropriate for city living...
