Miss Room Redo
“M” room is the one room in my entire house that has been a HUGE Thorne in my side! It started out GREAT!!! I thought for sure I wanted pink and green, the room in a whole was darling but… the longer I lived around it, the more I became unsure.
I don’t know if it was the green bed or the pink walls but something started wearing on me.
Before I go any further into this story I have to explain something about me. “Color” in general REALLY affects me. I mean REALLY affects me. I know this sounds super crazy but for example: when I am pregnant I can’t decorate, or for that matter, even LOOK at a paint deck until I’m about 6 months along. If I DO attempt to decorate while feeling sick, then any time after I look at that bed spread or paint color or lamp that I bought while sick, it invokes a flood of memories of MORNING sickness and I start to dry heave and become nauseous… NO JOKING!!
Just the other day I went through my old maternity clothes and the entire time I felt sick to my stomach like I wanted to throw up! So…YES I am extremely sensitive to color! Now that I think about it…I pick restaurants not based on the food they serve but the atmosphere of the restaurant.
Hummmmmm…Am I alone on this??? or am I just CRAZY;)
To add to the craziness I don’t go to Disneyland for the rides, I go for the ambiance!
Sooooo you can imagine on a GOOD day, if I don’t like the color I am surrounded by, you better believe I will change it 😉
I wanted to design a bedroom that Missy could grow into.
I didn’t want it to feel too young, but at the same time I didn’t want it to look or feel like a basic guest Room either.
I wanted a room that whenever I walked into it I would “sigh”… and have the feeling of “I LOVE IT”!! hehe
If I don’t absolutely LOVE something I have this REALLY bad habit of going down a decorating downward spiral, I seem to re-do and re-vamp until it’s a decorating mess, Aughhhhh!!!, at which point I just have to stop until I see something that inspires me.
Unfortunately with “M” room, I haven’t found ANYTHING for the past 2 YEARS… until NOW!!!!
Let me back up for just a second…Here is a short HISTORY of where we started with “M” room!
First we started with pink walls,
It was Super pretty…But I don’t know??? I just wasn’t feeing it, I guess I just had something else in mind for the room.
Sooo, I then painted one wall green
(that was a instant No!) and then I turned to blue…Which is the same color as the Nursery upstairs (Snow Cloud-Columbia paint)
Here is a sneek peek!!
After two years of THINKING about what I was going to do, I finally found it thanks to PINTREST,
(oh…how I LOVE Pintrest) And Neiman Marcus
Here is my plan…let’s just hope I like the bedding as MUCH in person as I do the picture!!!
To cut down on the price, I only bought the quilt and 2 embroidered shams.
I figure I can finish off the look of the bed by finding items at
either TJ Maxx or on eBay!
Or I also thought it would be fun to add pillows like this!
My first inspiration for Missy’s Room came from this picture!
I have been looking at this picture for the past year. Every time I see it, I fall in love all over again!
I have BIG plans to do a tree similar to this but, with a little bit of Heidi flair added to it 🙂
I can see the entire room in my head…soooo, that’s always a good thing! That means I am on the right path when I can visualize the project from start to finish.
I will keep you all POSTED!!
Oh, and one more thing… for those of you that have been asking about the toy closet? I have to be honest, I hit one of those
“I’M NOT LOVING” it moods..so, I am waiting for some inspiration to kick in, and I will then finish it!
I will post it soon, I PROMISE!!
Thanks for being patient and waiting on “REAL TIME”
