Bedroom Beautiful

Is your bedroom being a b-word? You know … *whispers*  … BASIC?

Is it blah? A bit boring? Bland? Bleak? Bromidic?  (Thank the thesaurus for that one).

It just might be. For too many people the bedroom is the last room on the must-decorate list. Priority usually goes to more public, oft-seen spaces.  The rooms where you might host a guest or welcome a visitor. Some people keep a pristine, virtually unused front room just in case I don’t know, Oprah and the pope casually drop in for a cup of tea, as they so often do.

But the bedroom is for your eyes only, so who cares about those eyes, right?

Wrong, and I’m ashamed you’d even say so.

Because you deserve better! You deserve a retreat from the cares and laundry piles of the outside world. You deserve a space that you’re excited to wake up and fall asleep in.

So give yourself permission to make your bedroom beautiful. You can show it off to Oprah next time she stops by instead of quickly slamming the door, hoping she didn’t catch a glimpse inside. (She totally did).

Here’s inspiration from Jenni who took this basic bedroom and made it a total babe:

How about that awesome herringbone headboard? She made it herself! Get all the details on her blog I Spy DIY.
