I did the walls in this light blue-ish with a hint of green in there (what do I call that color?). Crisp white linens with medium and dark brown accents. It's peaceful and restful and I love that I can change it up by switching the (white w/med brown accents) comforter and the (med brown) light weight spread putting one over the whole bed and one across the foot of the bed, depending on season (or my latest whim!). Throw pillows in all the right colors tie everything together.Just A Normal Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17044107177408002343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-568446000623056293.post-40687008324875102602011-03-21T17:22:29.281-04:002011-03-21T17:22:29.281-04:00Michelle, I'm so sorry all this craziness is g...Michelle, I'm so sorry all this craziness is going on!!! <br /><br />Apartment therapy is def my go to for decorating inspiration, and oddly enough thenest.com is great too! <br /><br />I'm loving neutral rooms (walls, bedding) with subtle pops of bright color in the same hue. HGTV's site has some great pics up.<br /><br />I want to echo Lisa's comment above about putting your lights on a dimmer...it definitely helps, um, set the mood! <br /><br /><br /><br />Good luck with everything--I'm sure it will be fabulous and I can't wait to see the results!Melissa {TheScarletCardinal}https://www.blogger.com/profile/16598719994714679895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-568446000623056293.post-65463854677078704522011-03-21T11:51:00.532-04:002011-03-21T11:51:00.532-04:00Ha, I was going to suggest a soft gray for the wal...Ha, I was going to suggest a soft gray for the walls but it looks like you've already done that! Oops. I'm not sure what my ideas for walls are, but one suggestion I have is to put in recessed can lights in, if at all possible. I don't think they're terrible expensive and since you have the ceiling opened up, it really wouldn't be too much extra work. We have them in our bedroom and I love them! They give the room such a custom look and the lighting is soft, especially because they are on a dimmer. We have 4 in sort of a square pattern in the room. Do it if you can!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04865685340069753604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-568446000623056293.post-12145079331750696672011-03-21T11:19:05.253-04:002011-03-21T11:19:05.253-04:00oh man! before blogging i looked for inspiration ...oh man! before blogging i looked for inspiration on rate my space, and i'd suggest houzz, too. good luck, and can't wait to see what you come up with!the cape on the cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01283196154486318371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-568446000623056293.post-73507090600430630202011-03-21T09:31:26.707-04:002011-03-21T09:31:26.707-04:00I love the color of the walls in the dining room o...I love the color of the walls in the dining room on Lola B's - Kasey Buick's blog. I think it would make for a calming bedroom color and look just as good off black as white like she has it. - Plus you could do just about any color bedding from there - nice rusty reds, browns, http://kaseybuick.com/2011/03/real-housewives-reunion/ <- The picture with the Hotel De Paris sign is the color and she told me it was Shale, Ralph Lauren when I asked.<br />Overstock is good for searching for bedding by color. I really was grooving on this set - http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Handcrafted-Pintuck-8-piece-Faux-Silk-Comforter-Set/4424438/product.html<br />or http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Metro-Chocolate-7-piece-Queen-size-Comforter-Set/5509545/product.html - and if your windows do not get a ton of morning sun I suggest some cool sheers from either Target or Pier One.MommyLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08288191448338432734noreply@blogger.com
