Bedroom Blues

I have been thinking of what to do with my bedroom for the longest now. I have a few different ideas in mind. I know I want it to be soothing, plush, and romantic. I am definitely feeling the blues for a color palette.

So what hue of blue should I do?

I love the idea of light and airy. It would be a definite contrast from the rest of my home. It would be like floating in clouds for me. No matter what, I know I want an upholstered headboard! What a beautiful bedroom chandelier.

This room feels light and airy too. I love the metallic vibe that I am getting from the bird wall art and the headboard fabric. I am noticing how monochromatic all of my rooms are. maybe another definite!

This, I love! What a beautiful color fabric on that gooorgeous...heavily tufted headboard. The wall color just blends almost seamlessly and I just want to curl up in that fur throw! The linens on the bed, although contrasting and sharp, look lived in. This room comes off very royal to me. I think this is indefinitely my new inspiration!

What's My Personal Style?

My personal style is a mix between modern, rustic, and glamour. I am more attracted to the comfortable side of modern with classic appeal. Natural materials like the glass, warm grain of wood, rough or polished stones, and aged or shimmering metals are my favorite accents.

I love dark wood finishes whether its on the floor, walls, or furniture. I am not afraid of color. I always like to add a pop of color to any room. What really gets me going is painted distressed accents like side tables and consoles.

I like to go against the grain and do the unusual or "think outside the box." A perfect explanation is an idea of the juxtaposition of a rustic setting accented with modern glamour like in the current issue of Elle. This will visually explain my personal style.

Mm Mm Mm!

How classy are royal purple sofas with a medley of monochromatic throw pillows then topped off with a pop of plush white on a slip covered head sofa with contrasting royal purple throw pillows.

 Check out those pair of tall white pillaring candles in the antique spiraling candle holders on top of a sleek shiny glass top coffee table that is sandwiched in between the aged wood beams on the ceiling and a handsome zebra hide on the floor.
