There are many things I can't resist. To name a few... Spending hours creating rooms and decor boards on Olioboard. Online window shopping at places like Layla Grace... for brands like Dash & Albert and Pine Cone Hill. Daydreaming about my dream bedroom. *sigh* Such irresistible impulses. So when I found out about Layla Grace teaming up with Olioboard for the Design Your Dream Bedroom contest... you bet I poured myself a cup of coffee, plopped down on my pallet sofa, and got to work dreaming up a beautiful bedroom.

More about my dream bedroom:
Using decor from Layla Grace, I wanted to create a sanctuary that was just as eclectic, colorful, and unique as me! My dream bedroom would be a blank slate, loft space with worn hardwood floors, high ceilings, and big industrial windows. Two fabulous metal and glass pendants illuminate opposite ends of the room. Antique-looking wall sconces also light up the far corners.
I started out by dressing the windows in neutral linen drapes from Pine Cone Hill. Then I covered the area between the windows with a crisp spherical patterned wallpaper. Creating a mini art gallery of sorts, I hung up an eclectic collection of art: typography, fauna, and a lovely painting. I fell in love with a vibrant striped Dash & Albert rug. The light chartreuse brought the wall painting to life, so I decided to use the rug as my color scheme inspiration. Now to bring in the furniture!
On one end of the space, I angled an elegant poster bed. (Yep, that's me hanging out on it!) I kept it dressed simply in all white bedding and added a peacock-hued throw for a pop of color. Vintage-inspired serving trays hang on the wall behind the bed as art. A lovely little turquoise nightstand hosts a lamp with a mercury glass base, plus a small vase of flowers. A small dresser stores my favorite decor magazines nearby. On the other side of the bed a dark chest sits under the window. At the foot of the bed are ottomans that add a splash of ripe, juicy pink.
In the center of the room between the windows, I created my creative space. I can plop down in the French Provincial chair and craft, write, and blog at a large dark desk by light of an industrial, accordion-necked desk lamp. A memo board and my art gallery overhead keeps me inspired.
At the other end of the room, I couldn't resist pulling in a big, crushed-velvet, tufted, olive green Chesterfield sofa. Brought to life with a colorful assortment of patterned pillows and a nearby cream table and floor lamp, it's the perfect spot to curl up with a good book. (I keep those books close at hand in the windowsill above. Nearby sits a super pretty, floral printed dresser underneath an antiqued mirror. On top of it sit candles and a lush bouquet of hot pink flowers.
There you have it! My dream bedroom outfitted by Layla Grace. (If this were really my bedroom... I don't think I'd ever leave!)
