Beautiful Rooms

Hello! Sorry for the late post today, my computer is finally up and running again after I had to reformat it! I thought I would show you these beautiful rooms by Phoebe Howard:

An Inspiring Space

I'm loving the horizontal lines that are painted on the walls as well as the touches of deep pink!

Decorating with Red

Since Valentine's Day is only a week and a half away, I thought it would be fitting to feature the color red. Especially, how we can use it in decorating.

Red is actually my favorite color so I'm loving all the photos I found! I'll have to post some of my wedding pictures one day as red was my main color! (Along with ivory and chocolate brown)

My favorite way to use the color red is in accessories around my house. Since having an entire room painted in red can be a bit overwhelming, I appreciate smaller amounts of the color for a bit of drama. The following photos show a few ways to use accessories. In my home, I love to change the accessories for the seasons, a much less expensive alternative to replacing furniture or textiles!

How about pulling out all your red colored books to place on display?

Or create an edible centerpiece using strawberries or red apples.

Pillows, pillows, pillows!

Or, if you can, how about a red accent chair?

Some other ideas I use are: candles, cloth napkins or dish towels as a table runner, or red flowers.

Here's a really neat child's bedroom. Love the wallpaper!

The following photos are ones that I really liked using paint and accessories.

Hooked on Bedding

I'm bored with our bedding. I'm a simple gal when it comes to decorating but I think our bedroom needs a bit extra. I think I'm dreaming if I think my husband will go for a new set since we did get new stuff for our wedding about a year and a half ago. But, my husband has never stopped me from dreaming!

I quite like this one. Not too ornate. (See, I like simple.)

Isn't this one neat? I love the rushing! It's by Marie Claire

Boring. But I do like the red sheets! I could always do that quite easily with our exsiting duvet...hmmm.
Macy's

I think this is one my husband would like. Manly.

This one might be too boring again. Although it is calming!
