Budget Decorating – Better Decorating Bible

Suzy from Better Decorating Bible is sharing her beautiful bedroom today.  What I love about her room is it’s cozy feel and collection of pretty things that have special meaning to her.  It all comes together with a beautiful, comfortable, eclectic vibe.  Here’s Susan:

Here is my all-time favorite place to hang out – my bedroom. It was inspired by a bohemian, cozy style with a touch of French regency.I recently redecorated it from a sunny yellow color which was looking tired, and decided to keep the ceiling a sky blue color. To glam it up I installed a gold chair rail trim to complement the cream white walls and painted the door trim in gold as well.I love the lived in and well-traveled look as it’s filled with lots of antiques and art which all has a special meaning to me. I made my room functional by using an antique piano bench as a coffee table and having a day bed which doubles as a couch. This makes my room a great place to hang out and doesn’t feel like much of a bedroom.Everything was decorated on a budget and I tried not to invest too much since I move around a lot. Hope you enjoy!

What do you guys think?  I swear if I put all of those things together, I don’t think it’d look this planned or this pretty but she really has a talent for display and staging, doesn’t she? This room has history. Decorating can be as simple as rearranging everything you already own, not breaking the bank to buy tons of coordinating decor and still achieving a beautiful look.  The addition of the gold chair rail is a beautiful detail. I love it!

Freckles Chick – Nursery Reveal

The last I ‘talked’ to Freckles Chick, she was awaiting the {late} impending arrival of her baby girl.  That was last week, so I’m hoping that as of today, she’s holding her precious princess in her arms and back home putting this beautiful nursery to good use.  

It all started with putting together a mood board

Lighter neutral walls are the perfect backdrop for the white furniture and pretty blooming branch.
