J' adore

The past few weeks I've found that I'm talking to myself, keeping myself up at night, banging my head against the computer screen, anything to get myself to focus on exactly what I want for our bedroom redo.

At first I dove right in, I didn't give the whole picture much thought, but luckily I didn't end up spending a single penny so far.

For the past week I have been torn between going with my typical comfortable red accent color, or branching out and going with what feels right...blue.

Finally, I sat down and wrote out everything I had at my disposal to use for the room, and everything I would need to buy. After looking at what I had written down, I went with my gut. Blue it is.

A while back I had bought 3 different shades of yellow paint for Lincoln's room. A few strokes on the wall and I knew it wasn't right. So it sat in our basement, unused and unloved, until now. I know I can put it to good use in our bedroom in a number of ways. Thinking of blue and yellow together leads my mind to more of french country feel, which I love implemented in bedrooms. It's soft and romantic, it can be fussy, but often times, when left simple, is just as beautiful.

After giving this room ALOT of thought, I think I'm finally ready. I have my plan laid out, I have my budget in mind, and I'm ready to dive in. I can't wait to share the results.
