I’m really inspired by Whitewell from Designers Guild right now for the master bedroom:

The background of this colorway is actually more white in person than it looks in the photo.

To recap, the bed and headboard are all white (so I think a couple of pillows in this pattern against the white would be really beautiful), the walls are painted Benjamin Moore “Bunny Gray” (second swatch from the left below) which I would describe as a Swedish blue gray; the trim is white, and I’m also still considering the black and white dotted fabric for the settee. So it would look like this all together:

I’m kind of loving it.

The only holdup is the settee because I can’t decide if I want to go black and white with the wood painted white or if I want to leave the wood and just reupholster it in white like the settee in this room:

So as usual, decisions need to be made and I plan on doing that soon!

Thanks for another fun week of blogging and all your comments. See you all Monday!

My last idea for the bedroom (at least for now) is pretty much the same as Mood Board #2 except to add a neutral wallpaper – gray is my neutral of choice these days. I would keep everything white or gray so it can just be the background for different looks with different accessories like in these two examples. I could have gone on and on with these because the possibilities are almost endless.  Here’s where everything is from:

wallpaper on the left: Brocade Home

wallpaper on the right: Miss Print

colorful throw and pillow: Missoni (at auto)

purple, gray and yellow patterned pillows: ferm Living

striped pillow sham and linen edge sham: Dwell Studio (I love, love, love these. Thanks to Black.White.Yellow. for the tip!)

My third idea for the bedroom is to glam it up a little with black and adding some beige and other neutrals, inspired by Alexander Wang’s bedroom I posted about last week. If I leave the walls white, I can switch from the second option to this pretty easily. This would be nice in the colder months. For this plan, all I would need to do is get some black lamp shades, the sheepskin rug and the pillows so again, it would be pretty easy to do. 

I think I have one more mood board for tomorrow. It’s a variation on all three, just to keep things interesting. 

The second idea I have for the bedroom is to forego the wallpaper, keep everything white and just add pops of color with accessories. This is probably the best option for me since I like changing things around so much. In a room like this, I could easily change the mood just by swapping out the accessories. This palette would be nice especially in the spring and summer. The lampshade is from Miss Print, the pillows from Marimekko, and the rug is from Selina Rose. 

Mood board #3 tomorrow. Oh and I added a couple of little things to yesterday’s board.

I’ve been waffling about what to do in the bedroom for too long and need something to help move things along so I’m putting together some mood boards to help me decide. Here is the first one:

The idea is to stay with white on the bed and walls and add yellow wallpaper, gray rug and some yellow and gray accents. I have everything on this board except the wallpaper, the solid gray pillow and gray print lampshade. (The lamps I have aren’t exactly the same but they’re white gourd lamps that kind of look like these.) So this would be a pretty easy plan to carry out. Maybe with the exception of hanging the paper since I’ve  never done that before.  I may also want to add white drapes to this at some point too. 

Tomorrow, I’ll post the second mood board. I’m working on about 4 at the moment. These are a lot of work!
