new bedroom inspiration

08/29/2013 by Jennifer 6 Comments

Moving is stressful. In college, I moved between my mom’s house and my dorm like twenty times. Because you know, holidays and stuff. But that was a piece of cake compared to moving out of a house – especially a super old house that collects dust and dirt by the minute. We’ve been cleaning the heck out of that place. However, I honestly can’t wait to finish moving and I have so many hopes and dreams for my new place. This may be a stressful week, but the fact is, this weekend is going to arrive. And everything will be fine. :)

So about these hopes and dreams! Well, my new bedroom is huge. Definitely at least twice as big as the bedroom I have shared with Sara for the past year. We just wanted to live in that cute old house so badly…sacrifices! Anyway, my new room is a master bedroom and while most would say it is meant for a couple to share, I say it’s meant for a girl with too many craft supplies (me). There are two closets and a bathroom. Two closets!!!

Here is a little mood board with the look and feel I want to create in my bedroom:

 

one/two/three/four/five/six/seven/eight/nine

There is nothing I want quite more for my room than that duvet cover. I think Holli Zollinger is the best, but I can’t justify dropping $200 dollars on anything like that. So my search continues. Duvet covers are hard to find, man! I may be purchasing those hanging mirrors very soon though.

I want to try to keep most of the colors as simple as possible (ivory, black, neutrals) and then add pops of colors. My favorite group of colors has stayed the same for quite a while now and that makes me proud. I think it means I won’t be changing my mind anytime soon. I’m loving goldenrod (always my number one), mint, and pale pink/peach. A little chartreuse is going to be thrown in there too. I just don’t want to go overboard with colors because I mean, my yarn collection will add enough color by itself.

On another day, I’ll share my mood board for the bathroom.

Although moving is crazy, the chance to redecorate definitely makes it worth it. I have many Ikea trips planned in my near future… Have you redecorated any of your rooms recently??

    I dream of having a big bedroom with enough room for a couch and an old-fashioned dresser where I would sit and do my hair and make-up. I’d definitely throw in some pops of mint!

    Yes! We bought some bathroom paint in December and finally got round to painting it yesterday! Same colour (white) but a fresh lick of paint has made it look so much cleaner and spruced it up!

    I have what I consider a large bedroom (for London!) so can’t wait to see how yours turns out!!
