Hello friends! I hope the new year finds you well. It's been a few weeks since my last post. I've had my hands full, but I'm here today with a few updates.
I started journaling again. The writing prompts really help to jump start my brain. Having a dedicated space encourages me to write. Mentally, I feel much better after writing down my thoughts.
We've made some progress since our garage conversion. Decorating a new room is certainly a process.
With so many options, it takes time to find the right pieces.
We created a budget and decided to begin with a few key furniture pieces. I don't want the rooms in my house to feel matchy-matchy or trendy.
In my bedroom I'm using a gray color scheme with wood, metal, glass and different neutral textures to organically create a look of my own.
Since choosing darker furniture, I decided to keep things bright and airy with white accessories.
I added color through books and artwork.
My goal is to create a space my family and I can be proud of. A room that my husband and I can relax in at the end of our day. We still have so much more to do to make the room feel complete; a DIY project for the window seat, exterior shutters and window boxes. We're getting there slowly, as we piece the room together.
*Thank you all so much for following along as we complete our project. I'm truly grateful for each of you being here.
It's already a space to be proud of Brandi! The colors are so soothing. Your picture ledge and artwork is wonderful. The little pic of your son is perfection.

Your room is so airy and relaxing- I love it. I agree though, it is a process. We are in the process of painting our entire house and picking new lighting and I agree it is difficult with all of the choices out there. First world problems!!
ReplyDeleteWhere did you find your lamps? They are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHi Amy! Thank you so much. I purchased the lamps from Overstock.com
