As an x-interior designer of 9 years who just left the industry 3 months ago… I’VE LOST ALL OF MY DESIGN SKILLS! I’m lost! I’ve always been indecisive when it comes to my own space, always have… and once again, I’m not sure what to do. The hub and I have been “sprucing” up our sleeping conditions for some time now… we’re just horrible at finishing what we start.
It all began with our upholstered lacquered headboard that we fell in love with. We purchased this bad boy around 14 months ago. We followed that purchase with an oversized canvas made from both our favorite colors and we plopped it over the bed. Then an IKEA storage piece {shown next to the bedside} was given a home in place of a nightstand on my side of the bed. It’s basically a single wardrobe which leaves me w/out a nightstand. During another “rearrangement” I relocated my vanity into the living area and I now use it as my writing desk. Next we purchased an IKEA white FLOOR MIRROR, and that’s where I sit every morning to do my makeup. Last but not least a few months ago I went antiquing and got my hands on this lovely dresser {marked at $400 but I chatted with them and got it for $180}!
The hubs and I love the beach. We’re calm + relaxed when our tootsies are by each others side in the sand. Someday we’ll live in Charleston… in the meantime, we’ll bring the waves to us! That’s where I need some help!
How to JAZZ up our sleeping conditions?!
I love the color white! Currently all of our furniture {with the exception of the hubs nightstand} is all white! Creamy white… not stark white. I also love the color pink and the hubs loves blue {he’s a Carolina boy}.
We envision a glam version of a seaside escape!
Now, help me make that happen! Please!
What I’m on the hunt for you ask?! A LOT…
Bedding! Accent pillows! Bedside lighting! A swanky overhead fixture! Night stand for the hubs! Perhaps a small, acrylic, round pedestal for my bedside! Window treatments! Paint? Wallcovering? Accessories? Rugs?
YOU TELL ME!
Who wants to help!?
Oh snap, YOU want to help! Awesome… below are some pic’s of our bedroom, bedding, artwork and accessories!
Work some wonders! xo.
I should probably mention… my husband appreciates a good deal, ps.
