Hi, Friends! Happy 2019 to all of you. This is my first post in almost a year, I apologize for that. My family went through many big life changes in 2018. Just to name a few, we welcomed our sweet baby boy, got a puppy (as if a toddler and a newborn weren’t enough work, ha!) and my husband started the DNP program at URI. Needless to say, we have our hands full! Anyways, lets get into todays post!  

  When we first purchased our home almost 3 years ago, there wasn’t a single room that didn’t need work. With the rest of the house requiring so much attention, we didn’t do much to our bedroom beyond a coat of paint. This year I was finally able to add more personal touches and really focus on the overall aesthetics of our room. I wanted it to be a neutral, cozy and inviting retreat. I wanted  a space that I would be happy to spend time in besides just a place to sleep.

   

We started by adding a Shiplap accent wall which my hubby and I did ourselves. Because our bedroom doesn’t get too much natural light and to keep the farmhouse feel, we chose very light color tones for the walls and bedding.

  We used the color Snow Fall by Behr on the shiplap. The rest of the room is Salt Cellar by Behr, it has the tiniest hint of mint to it and I love the way it contrasts with the white shiplap!

 

 We purchased the bed from Wayfair for a great price. It is still available and can be found here.

 

  For the bedding I wanted a simple light neutral that wasn’t completely white so I went for a soft Gray stripe that almost resembles the classic grainsack stripe. I found the bedding at Kohls and it’s actually on MAJOR sale right now! You can find the bedding here.

 

  To add some visual interest I added a pop of color with the toss pillow and some texture with a super soft throw blanket. It’s amazing how some pretty small projects can completely transform a space from dull to totally inviting! (at least I think so)

  I hope you enjoyed this post as much as I have and I look forward to being much more active on the blog and on Instagram in the coming year! If you enjoyed this post please feel free to leave a comment below!
