If I were solely shopping at UrbanOutfitters to decorate my bedroom, these would be my picks.

Happy Friday folks.

monday...monday...

Hello friends. Hope you had a lovely weekend. I am enjoying my "weekend" today as I worked all weekend and will work the next couple days so I can be off for a quick trip to Charleston. My little brother is getting married and we are heading down to be a part of the wedding weekend! I am so looking forward to spending time with family and enjoying Charleston for a few days. I can't wait.

Any who, I was thinking the other day that I have gotten away from interior design posts lately. Interior design is really where my heart lies and I feel like I should get back to it. So, I thought I would start back with one of my favorite inspirations- the color white. So fresh and crisp, you really can't go wrong.

Clockwise from top left:
Room One- I love the floor to ceiling white cabinetry. I know I usually sing the praises of open shelving in kitchens but I really like the top cabinets in this instance! And those rustic wood floors are beautiful. Along with the huge island in a different wood tone- its a perfect combination.

Room Two- This little bedroom is so simple yet so charming. I love the exposed white slat and beam ceiling. Fresh white linens + mosquito net (which can look tacky 99% of the time but is elegantly done here) make for an inviting spot to rest your head. And you can find look-a-like natural wood lamp at Target here.

Room Three- I really like the wainscoting on the wall behind the bed. Makes for some understated visual interest. That bed looks so comfortable and is perfect paired with the single contrasting pillow.

Room Four- Where to start? The herringbone wood floors, white cabinetry, subway tile, open shelving, or the dark stained butcher block counter top? Each detail is beautiful.

Happy Monday!

Beautiful loft belonging to interior stylist Emma Persson Lagerberg and her husband (who is the drummer for the Cardigans!).  I love the white painted floors throughout the loft and the seafoam green cabinets in the kitchen.

bedroom mix.

The one room in our house that has made the least progress so far is our bedroom.  I have had my mind set on block printed bedding but I had a hard time finding some that did not cost several hundred dollars.  Finally, I found this block printed duvet on clearance for just $30 from West Elm!  I am so excited for it to arrive.  I came up with this little mix of items that I am thinking of purchasing for our bedroom as well.

Happy Thursday!

calm + clean.

I am quite fond of white spaces lately.  They feel so clean and fresh.  I am particularly in love with this bathroom (above).  It was featured in the latest issue of House Beautiful and I absolutely adore all the vintage details.

so happy.

I bought the Jill Rosenwald rug I had been thinking about!  I actually got it on a flash sale site called Joss and Main.  It was about $185 less than the regular retail price!  I am so happy with it!  I chose the 5x8 rug in gray.  I was a little worried about the gray (I was also considering the sky blue color) but it looks great.  I think the blue would have been a little too feminine.  I also think the gray will be easier to transition into other spaces if I want to change things up in the future.  Any who, I love it.

Happy Tuesday!

a work in progress.

A little while back I mentioned how I purchased a chiang mai pillow on Etsy.  Well, my pillow finally came in and I love it.  I was a little very hesitant to spend so much money on a little pillow but I am definitely happy I did.  I feel like things are starting to come together in my bedroom.  In addition to my new pillow, I added one of my revamped barrel chairs to the space.  I think the next purchase I will make for the bedroom is an area rug to anchor the room.  I am thinking this rug will be perfect:

Whatcha think? 

On another note, I had a wonderful weekend with my friends, family, and the BF.  All around a GREAT weekend but I didn't take a single picture.  How terrible. Oh well...next time.  Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.  Happy Monday!

monday...monday...

Whew! I know this sounds crazy but thank goodness it is Monday! I just finished working four 12-hour shifts in a row at the hospital and I am pretty beat. Today is a much needed day of rest and relaxation!

Hope these soothing spaces to bring some calm to your Monday!

bedroom inspiration

I am trying to finish up my bedroom and needed to find a little inspiration.   So, off I went to dig through my crazy collection of favorite room images I have saved.  These are my favorites.

bedroom updates

my v-day flowers :)

 I finally got around to taking pictures of the progress in my bedroom.  There is still a lot to be done but I figured I would share it anyways!  I got my prints up on the wall, found a matching lamp to my original one (at TJ Maxx), and got things set up the way I want them! 

Remember that bar cart from awhile back?  Well, there really is not a place for a bar cart in my new place but I needed another bedside table and I thought it fit the bill.  I painted the table the same blue/grey as my accent wall.  (BTW I can't believe I bought that table back in September!  I am a little slow when it comes to projects sometimes!)  I hope one day in the future (maybe in my next home) I'll be able to put it to use as a bar cart. 

I'm really happy with how things are coming along.  Some things I have left to do:  get an accent pillow for the bed, get curtains (my current ones are too short and I hate that), and find a mirror to go above my dresser.  I can't wait until the room is finished!

white bed linens

 I've been going back and forth with the idea that white linens are a must for any bedroom.  My thoughts were confirmed when flipping through the bedroom images from Lonny.  Almost all of the rooms featured have white bed linens.  The rooms just look so clean and crisp.  Its white bed linens only from here on out for me!

Monday...Monday...

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!  I really enjoyed my day off yesterday.  Not quite yet ready to get back to work today!  Oh well.  Happy Monday :)

Bedroom Makeover Part 1

Here are my bedroom makeover pictures! Now, this is just phase 1 of the bedroom makeover...there is still lots to be done. But I thought I would go ahead and share them with you per your requests :) Please note that this bedroom is actually my childhood bedroom (which explains the pink and green motif)...yes, that means I have recently moved back in with the 'rents. I had plans to move into an apartment with a friend but it didn't work out. So, since I will be staying at the 'rents house (for now) I decided to make my space my own again. I am really pleased with it so far! So, here are the before and after photos:

after

So relaxing compared to my old bedroom! I will say that I was sad to see my stripes go but it was time for a change!

Here is my to do list to complete my bedroom makeover: hang pictures (that window above the bed may or may not stay), buy throw pillows, move in/arrange furniture, and accessorize. Doesn't sound like much but I know it will take me awhile to get things how I want them. Of course, I will display the final product here on Design Blossom! So, what do ya'll think?!
