Blissful bedrooms: Inspiration for a restful space

I am tired today. Like, super uncharacteristically tired.  Maybe because wedding planning is a full time job in itself and I drove a combined 4 hours yesterday to look at two different wedding venues, or because ever since Sandy blew through the east coast hasn't been seeing much sun.

Either way, I slept through my alarm, getting up an hour and a half late, and somehow slept-walked over to my dresser and hit snooze on my alarm NINE times and don't remember any of it.  Luckily I work for myself and from home, but I still feel like a bum when I don't get up at a reasonable hour.

Anyway, plentiful sleep aside, all I want do to is crawl under my down comforter and dream the afternoon away.  I guess this bedroom eye candy will have to do, since deadlines never care how tired you are.

Love the dark wall, the headboard, the quilt, the floors...

Okay, so this is an add for linens, but how gorgeous is that bed?


pastels always look nice in the bedroom

How cute is this?  Especially for a teenager.  And the palette bedframe adds extra storage for magazines, shoes, etc....



What do you think of the draped wall behind the bed?  It definitely adds romance and softness to the space, but I want to see it in person.

Burnt Orange Plaid Wool

**Edited 10/2: There's only ONE left. Those went fast!


Oh, I love this fabric. I purchased this last year when I first opened my shop, and found it as I was unpacking all my winter boxes. It was a feature on an Etsy Finds e-mail for a Weekend Deal and they sold out the first HOUR! I was happy, but sad because I had some inquiries about more of them after they sold out.

Well, I finally found a very very very small amount of this fabric, enough for exactly five Travelers. I redesigned the look of this one to incorporate some beautiful brown corduroy. I really LOVE the look of mixing different fabrics during the winter, especially corduroy and wools (as you can see from one of my sales from around this time last year) because it brings lots of interest and personality to the piece. Plus, it looks sort of vintage, right? Sherlock Holmes-y, I'd say.

So here they are. Only four more left. A perfect match with your tan winter trench coat.

p.s. That's a mini handmade vintage bench I got at the thrift store. Could you imagine a Traveler the size of a full-size bench?! Insane.

Colour baths

Well, I'm recouping from Alaska and have for you one last (but not least), guest post. This one is super fun and comes to you from Trudi of The Deco Detective - who really helped me out and supported me by spreading the word about my fund raising and marathon training. Thanks Trudi! And I'm with you - I would've loved the turquoise bathroom!

Hi, I'm Trudi aka The Deco Detective! I'm here today to help Ashley out while she's away running the marathon to cure lymphoma. I'm so honoured to be asked to do a guest post at Decorology, but most of all, I'm very impressed with Ashley. I think she's really brave to sign up for a marathon!

After running marathons, I can imagine that a beautiful, luxurious bathroom will feel like heaven to sore feet and beaten muscles. To relieve things a little for her, I've picked seven bathrooms for Ashley to choose between when she's finished running. There's one bathroom for each colour of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, turquoise, blue, indigo and violet:

I hope you find (at least) one bathroom you like, Ashley. I'm curious to know which one you'll choose! And Decorology readers: which one would you pick after running a marathon? I think I'd prefer the turquoise one to cool myself off - although me running a marathon would be a purely hypothetical situation...





Ashley - good luck with your running! We'll all cheer you on from the sidelines, even if we're not there in person.

Orange, yellow and green bathroom found at My Home Ideas

Turquoise bathroom found at House of Turquoise

Red, blue, indigo and violet bathroom found at Living Etc

This Carrot doesn't cause Carotenodermia

You, too, can sport yours for the summer!

It looks a little vintage to me.
