Tired mind? Keep your bedroom light and airy...

Ugh. I went to bed with a migraine and woke up with one. Nothing but time in bed can give me relief, but deadlines loom, so this bedroom eye candy will have to do...

Keeping a bedroom light, both literally and emotionally, help me feel calm and restful

 Great light in this bedroom, and the mirrored closets help magnify the light.

Autumn

A Warm Welcome
Seasonal Transformation


One of the wonderful things about the changing of the seasons is that it gives us the opportunity to change up the décor in the rooms of our homes.

I love accessorizing tabletops, hutches, bookcases and
mantles in my home to reflect the mood of the season.
In Spring  it is light, rosy and cheerful.



In Summer it is bright, calming and clean.



In Autumn it is Warm and Welcoming


The inspirations for my Autumnal mood began with applying the color of a deep forest green on the hutch in our kitchen. I then layered textures of wrought iron and pewter and glass. 





The other predominate colors are gold and red. To emphasize the joyfulness of the season – harvest – I have placed vignettes of fruit here and there as well as dried beans and corn.





I found these Country Living salad plates at K-Mart while visiting my sisters and brother in South Carolina. I love the theme to the set – ‘Friends’.


I just adore the deep red color of this set!
It echoes another element that appears in my Autumnal décor


 – roosters and chickens.

I painted this door in my kitchen to fill an open spot. I shared this with you here.



The colors of my home lend themselves to
Warm décor – in the dining room I am thrilled
That the new colors to my dining room set,
of which I shared with you the transformation
here and here,
go beautifully with the warm colors of Autumn.



The dining table lends itself as a wonderful welcoming focal point to our home now since it is the first thing one sees as they enter our home.


I found these adorable buffet lamps at Dollar General in their clearance area for $2.75 each! The Better Homes and Gardens lampshades came from Walmart at $4.95 each. 


This goes well with my effort to bring more light to tabletops in my home, similar to what I found at my friend Maria’s home. I love the warmth lamplight and candlelight brings to a room.



On the living room mantle, I began with the same runner I used during summer. 



I added this blue urn that I found at my friend Maria’s shop – RoomsULove.  


I moved the candlesticks with beeswax candles –added a couple more candles, the burlap pumpkins, orange paper roses – remnants from my daughter’s wedding and a couple of blue and white small urns to balance the larger urn.



I kept the grapevine wreath simple by adding just a couple of the dried hydrangeas to some silk sunflowers. For a touch of red, I added two berry garlands swirled in and out of the mantle’s décor.



On the built-in bookshelves I followed through with the red, gold and blue colors - bringing warmth to these two corners of the family room. 







Our bedroom received a slight change –
The tapestry quilt lies over a golden-yellow comforter
And a few colorful pillows are added in.









Well, I greatly appreciate your visit
walking through some of the rooms of my home with
me - I hope you have a very Warm and Welcoming
Autumn!

From Patterned to Plain

Thank you for all the sweet comments about the nursery I revealed yesterday! 


Do you ever look at a room and just think something is a little off?  Like, if only ______, then I would love the space.  Well, I've been feeling that way about my bedroom lately. I have had my bedspread for a few years now and I just felt like there was too much pattern.  In this case, the pattern was what was making the room feel very little girl.  Don't get me wrong, I love pattern, but I think it made my bedroom feel too busy. 
Do you agree?


Patterned:


I picked up these off-white linen curtains for a whopping $14.99 at Target! I'm kind of loving them (: They let lots of light in and still frame the window nicely. 


Plain:




I think they really brighten up the space and break up the pattern. I'm also totally into everything white and flowy right now, so it was just what the space needed (: It's relaxing and soothing, at least in my opinion. 


Also- my mom hasn't noticed them yet and it's been 2 days. I think it's kind of funny (: We'll see how long it takes her. If she says anything about it today, we'll know she read this post!


Look what is front and center in my magazine/book basket?!




My new favorite book, Decorate {by the fab Decor8's Holly Becker and Joanna Copestick} Love it, love it, love it and totally recommend it! Thanks to Anna from In Honor of Design for the sweet giveaway (:


So that's my little teeny tiny room update. What do you think? 
Have you done any small updates lately??


Happy Tuesday!
Love,
Photobucket

Glamorous but not over the top bedrooms

To me, the bedroom is potentially the most important room - though I know this is debatable. I sleep A LOT though so my bedroom needs to put a smile on my face. Here are a few bedrooms that do just that. Enjoy!

Love the wall color - could use a headboard though...

GORGEOUS

The quilt doesn't look too hokey country because the rest of the bed is all white


I would never think to paint my bedroom chocolate but this is beautiful.

interior designs Bedroom furniture by Huelsta gives an unlimited amount of decorating ideas.interior design Bedrooms in warm and natural colors are great place to relax and recharge. Thanks to modernism of Huelsta collections such bedrooms are also great addition to houses decorated in most styles. You can’t say the same about Maura Taft decorating even though it doesn’t look worse. We spent most of our time in bedrooms with closed eyes, but despite of that waking up in warm decorated bedroom will be better and more refreshing than waking up in colorful bedroom for most people. Some people of course think that colorful bedrooms are more modern and choose them but Huelsta has furniture for such people too.
