The bedrooms in our circa 1875 home have always provided a decorating challenge. The rooms are small and there’s lots of angles to consider. Once furniture arrangement is figured out, you can start to decorate your bedroom for the season – in this case – spring. Since we had a little snow this weekend, I…
Welcome to the third installment of our Cozy Living series! Each month our “cozy group” brings ideas for hygge style living on the first Saturday. It’s all about simple comforts, foods, and traditions! You’ll find links to cozy living ideas by my blogging friends at the end of this post. January is proving to be…
Some of my friends and family members have difficulty sleeping. On occasion, I struggle with sleep too, although lately I haven’t had any problems. My philosophy is that if you have pretty space for sleeping, it’s easier to drift off. I say this because I think your surroundings can calm your nerves and create a…
Old Man Winter gifted our neighborhood with almost a foot of snow yesterday. The mini blizzard created an opportune moment for staying indoors and adding a bit more holiday decor to the rest of the house. My Christmas Home Tour was shared last week but I didn’t include a Christmas bedroom, so today I’m sharing…
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of FrogTape®. All opinions are 100% mine. My son moved out of the house about 2 years ago (and he just got married this weekend, I might add), but I haven’t done much to his bedroom since he left. Until now, that is. I decided…
When it’s warm outside, I like to sleep with a cool pillowcase against my cheek. I tend to flip my pillow so my face always has the cool side of the casing. To help myself sleep like a baby during my favorite season of the year, I added silk pillowcases from OOSILK to my summer…
You know, when you think about it … it’s a shame that the majority of our time spent in our bedrooms is with our eyes closed. Still, it’s nice to have a pretty and peaceful place to fall asleep at night. Bedroom decor should be welcoming and comfortable, so you can wake the next morning…
It never fails. When winter rolls around and cabin fever sets in, I find myself making a wish list to update every room in the house. Although a lot of my creative attention right now is focused on the dining room, I’ve also had a strong itch to freshen up the bedroom. One of the…
What is it about a 5-star hotel with its lush, comfy beds that makes us pay hundreds of dollars just to sleep there? The charm of a Bed and Breakfast with its cozy bedrooms also lures us to spend the weekend to relax and unwind. It’s the luxury of fine bedding, plump pillows, and a…
This past summer I ordered a dust ruffle from Joss and Main for one of the beds and would you believe I never bothered to put it on? Until today that is. The reason why I procrastinated is because I didn’t feel like lugging the heavy mattress off the bed to put the skirt on. I finally buckled up…
Summer is all about color and fun and I’ve been attempting to infuse these two elements into my home room by room. Although I love white I have to admit I’m enjoying a few jolts of color. As part of today’s “Fun in the Sun” blog hop with 10 other bloggers, I decided to share…
Before I start sharing my farmhouse bedroom … I want to express my sincere thanks to everyone who left comforting words on my post about my aging parents. I was truly touched and for those who also have ailing parents … you are in my prayers as well. One of the beautiful aspects of blogging…
For the longest time I’ve been looking for a full length mirror to put in the bedroom. I either see a gorgeous mirror with a price tag I don’t like, or I see the right price but the mirror is just so-so. I didn’t want to settle. I didn’t have to. I found the oval…
About a year ago I stepped into Amazing Grace, our local antiques store. The shop had been in business for a few years before I ever stepped across their threshold (don’t ask why it took so long … I don’t have an answer). Since that first visit, I’ve made several purchases … the prices are…
When I think of bedrooms, I always think of blue and white. Blue is such a restful color while white lends a crisp pop. Our bedroom isn’t cluttered … rather, it displays a minimalist decor point of view. I’ve tried to include some softness to keep it from looking too cold, but I like that it’s…
Do you feel a pep in your step as the days continue to grow longer and warmer? This is my favorite time of year and today we’re touring a renovated beach house by Ironwood Studio Co., that in my opinion, reflects the spirit and light-heartedness of summer. I think you’ll get a kick out of…
