a bedroom before & after

welcome to our bedroom. the one room i have never felt "fit in" with the rest of the house or my style. when mike moved in two summers ago, he brought a lot of furniture and house stuff with him {just take a moment to picture mike and i carrying everything he owned 30 feet across our tiny street from his old house to mine}. a lot of it went straight into storage in the basement, but some big pieces like the couches, kitchen table, and this bed became part of our new decor.

to be honest, i never liked the bed. for some reason i felt like he really did, so we put it up in our room. it definitely did not fit in with my beachy, shabby chic style at the time, but i figured that it was time to embrace change and try to work with it. i never really got there. the room just looked plain old weird between the whites trim and accessories, beachy light blue walls, and the color of the wooden/metal bed. it was the one room i didn't like taking pictures of or showing people and i always had it in the back of my mind that i wanted to re-do the bedroom someday. 

well, i finally did. it's really nothing super special, but we took the bed down, brought back the headboard that i made when i first bought the house, and turned the room into a very neutral, linen on linen haven. 

the new paint color {ps who the heck am i with a shade of TAN?!} and the different neutral tones just totally bring everything together and look so much more relaxing and soothing. 

the bed looks tiny {it's a queen}, but i love it. and i especially love how i was able to use some sepia toned photographs from our trip on each side of the bed. they make me so unbelievably happy. 

the room finally feels "pulled together" and really cozy...  it makes my OCD decorator brain much, much happier!

come to my tag sale!!

tour de paint

long gone are the days when this little casa had a cantaloupe colored kitchen, shabby chic pink guest room, springy green workout room and robins egg blue bedroom. i have officially erased all of the color from this house. what can i say, i have changed. this house has changed. and i love it oh so much. i have to do a completely new "house tour" post, but until then, i put together this little collage to take you on a little "tour de paint".

as you can see, i am way into the grey/brown neutrals these days. i just love how crisp and clean they feel against the bright white trim, and i love how i can add any pops of color i want to them. it makes it very easy to change up the decor and create a whole new look by just switching out a few pieces at a time. so i finally feel 100% happy with all of the colors on our walls and i don't see myself painting them again for a long, long time! there is a lot of white paint in my future, though, as i have some major plans to freshen up some of our trim and kitchen cabinets!

here are the links to the paint colors in each room:
