Subtle but magical changes happened in our bedroom! Though not hugely different from last time I shared after I hung the grasscloth, the last few months have brought some furniture additions and subtractions, enough that a full freshening up was in order. The One Room Challenge last May was the catalyst. With the unplanned acquisition of … More Main Bedroom Furniture Swaps
A few months ago I finally got around to hanging grasscloth wallpaper in our bedroom and THE IMPROVEMENT CANNOT BE OVERSTATED! It just feels incredibly warmer, even though the wall was painted the same shade before. I worked up the courage to drill into the wallpaper to rehang our sconces so, besides future wood flooring installation … More Bedroom with Grasscloth!
Guess what I did this past week??? Bedroom wallpaper! It was of the few things I was sure I wanted in our house BEFORE WE MOVED IN LIKE 5 YEARS AGO. Sometimes when you wait too long to actually implement the design decisions you’ve made, you don’t love it as much as when you first … More BLACK GRASSCLOTH ACCENT WALL (and wallpaper primer talk)
Oh man, I love this tiny little nook in our house so much. Fun abounds at every turn. If you are unfamiliar with residential dressing rooms, I can offer no help. It’s just what the previous owners of our home called this small room between our the main bedroom and bathroom that houses a closet … More Dressing Room Freshness
I’ve wanted a screen door for our bedroom to backyard door since we moved in that didn’t scream farmhouse/country. A way to let the light and fresh air in and the bugs out, while blending with our house in an unobtrusive, modern, and minimal way. We always thought we’d have to build one from scratch, … More Modern Screen Door
I probably say this about so many rooms, but this room is actually my favorite. I love everything about it. The size, the furniture, the colors, the whole vibe. There’s been a few tweaks since last look and I’m here with them all. Changes include a new (to us) highboy dresser, a new ceiling fan, new … More Main Bedroom Updates
I know I’ve left you hanging for years on this one, but we finally purchased, liked, and installed a ceiling fan in our main bedroom! Living the life over here. What the heck took so long you might ask? Well, a few things. First off, I purchased another fan and wasn’t in love with it … More Modern Ceiling Fan
I’m framing this as a main bedroom update post, but I’m really just looking for an excuse to show off this freshly painted orange door and to shout from the mountaintops my love for it. Orange is a tricky color to nail but this shade is perfect. Thanks Behr Fireglow, you are the orange that my … More Main Bedroom’s New Door
I’ve been going a little Howard’s Restore-a-finish crazy over here lately. I know Restore-a-Finish can be controversial among mid century furniture refinishers, but for some of the pieces we own and hope to own for decades, and never plan on personally refinishing, I think Howard’s can make sense in some instances. Like this vintage Lane … More Howard’s Restore-A-Finish on Vintage Furniture
These Danish Modern sconces were purchased for our bedroom. Other than a little dirt, the wiring was in fine condition. They looked great when we hung them but since they aren’t hard wired into the wall, the unsightly beige wiring snaking down the black wall needed to be addressed. One option was to replace the … More Easy DIY Wrapped Lamp Cord
Say hello to our primary bedroom. It’s very much a work in progress and is full of placeholders… I’ll eventually put black grasscloth wallpaper on the back wall but while waiting for my wallpaper fund to grow, I spent $30 for a gallon of paint. The color is not actually black, but a very mirky … More Main Bedroom Stuff
