We finished up our master bedroom last week. Marcello and I finally bought a king bed! It deserves an exclamation because now we can actually sleep in the same room! I’m the main problem with my tossing and turning and 5 million pillows, but with the extra space it doesn’t bother him and I don’t feel… Read More White and gray master bedroom
I’ve wanted a pretty white bookshelf in my room for a long time; a place to put some special things, my favorite books, out of the reach of grubby little fingers. And at the end of the post I have another little project to show you that I’m sure what to do with. Maybe you… Read More How to paint a bookshelf
I was walking through Ross and I saw this Desert Santa Maria bedspread for $35. I walked past it at first and then did a U-turn, went back and put it in my cart. I really love my all white, tranquil bedroom, but for such a steal I had to give it a try. What’s the… Read More White bedroom turned colorful
I finally figured out what to put in these gold frames in the guest bedroom/office and I’m calling it done! I put this room together on the very cheap with some hand-me-down furniture, spray paint and art from my own printer. This room was a hodgepodge when we moved in, collecting all our leftovers. There was missing drywall… Read More Navy blue bedroom and home office
Luca and Adriano have been sharing a bedroom for almost a year now. When they shared a room as babies I thought I was going to lose my sleep-deprived mind, so we were quite nervous when it was time for baby Clara to move into her own room. To our surprise, this time is going much smoother now that… Read More Boys shared bedroom
I was holding off posting this room until we had a light fixture installed, but with a little one coming soon, I’m realizing I better take a picture of this room before it gets hit by Hurricane Baby. The master bedroom was my first priority when we moved into our house last year. With the chaos and… Read More All white master bedroom
This is the second in an occasional series featuring rooms in my parents’ charming Midwestern country house. My parents’ bedroom walls were white for years. I always told my mom how soothing I thought it was, but she would tell me she hadn’t decided what to do. Then one weekend I came home and the walls were dark… Read More Country House: Brown and yellow master bedroom
This room. It’s supposed to be a den, but currently we have three giant wine fridges for Marcello’s work, a twin bed, the odd pieces of furniture I’m not sure what to do with, missing drywall, and missing flooring from a previous mold spot. It doesn’t make one feel at home, that’s for sure! These… Read More Guest room brainstorm
This week I made some good progress on our master bedroom. We’ve been moved in about a week, and I’m trying hard to stick to my plan and finish our bedroom instead of jumping from project to project around the house. I’ve been using my imagination and rearranging/repurposing furniture to fit our floor plan, and… Read More Old dresser makeover
