I also have some fairly big plans for decorating and am super excited to post before, after, and in between photos when I get the ball rolling there. Steven prefers earth tones but I love me some color. To compromise, I'll be rearranging some things and adding on to what we have so our living room/dining area will consist of beiges, grays, creams, and a little bit of black for some contrast. kitchen area is still completely up in the air haha (suggestions are welcome!). our bathroom has been slowly coming together with navy, tan, and lime green and I'm loving it so far but I need to do something with the walls. I promised handmade stone sconces a while back and while i still love the idea... i have not started on that! maybe another project for the break? :) The bedroom will also have a lot of the earth tones but will have more colors thrown in with it and will be less matchy matchy, for lack of a better way to describe what I'm envisioning. Here are pics that capture what I'm going for though I think.
These are similar to the look I'm going for with the living room area. cool neutrals with some plants and crisp white/cream to pop against the darker solids. It should be good.
This picture fits well with the style I'm going for in the bedroom but these colors are not what will be in there.
The colors will be close to what we had in our bedroom before with some beige and cream of course but with pops of plum, dusty rose, dark brown and then some even smaller pops of random colors that will come in with the more mismatched stuff. This is kind of a new look for me because I have such a hard time putting things together for rooms that aren't part of a collection or set that's already been matched for me (unless the pieces I find are super matchy). Designers do this seemingly effortlessly though, and I'd like to get better at it so we'll see how this experiment goes :) pictures to come!
I porbably won't be on again for the next few days as I will be busy busy so MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
