Spring Fever Decor

BHG
I know we're barely halfway through February, but with the mild weather we've been enjoying... I'm suffering from Spring Fever even earlier this year.  (Which, of course, makes the impending snowfall especially depressing.)  I'm getting antsy for floral patterns, pastels, and little critters popping up in decor. 
In the room above, I love the genius mixing of pattern and color: a blue and cream toile bedskirt, a mustard and white floral comforter, black and white patterned sheets, a headboard that matches the bedskirt, and a crocodile-like rug.  The wooden nightstands are country chic.  The bird silhouette pillow is fun modern. The gold glass base lamps are to-die-for eclectic.  And those fluffy pink flowers are perfect.

This quilt is a glorious representation of Spring.  Pink and coral, sky blue and green, periwinkle and yellow... I love the pairings!  Crisp stripes offset the abstract florals.  The headboard is fuss-free and the bed is low to the ground.  A simple chest acts as a nightstand and host to a cute bucket of fresh-picked flowers.  Paper lanterns float in front of shabby-chic paneling.  And in the background hang breezy sheer curtains.  I can already hear the birds singing...


House Beautiful
Spring doesn't have to mean pastels.  The juicy red, hot pink, and grass green in this wordly bedroom have me lusting for springtime gardens.  I love the over-sized flower print over the bed, which is dressed in Moroccan-style linens.

Simple Casual Living
You didn't really think you could get through a post about bedrooms without bring in some gray, did you?  The soft heather gray on the walls in this room are soooo lovely behind a white iron bed, shabby chic barn door, and ivory picture frames.  The accents of baby blue and soft pink are too good to be true.  So romantic and cottage-y.

Lastly, the color combination in this bedroom could cheer up any rainy spring day: sunshine yellow and fuschia.  Plus, I'm in love with that little porcelain white rabbit underneath the nightstand. What a perfectly darling detail!


Hurry up and get here, April!

These are such sweet rooms, it makes me wish we were having some of this warm weather everyone is talking about. I don't know if I'm ready for Spring cleaning yet, though. ;)

I love what you did with the bedrooms. I am just wondering as to how you get around to cleaning the carpet. Back home, I do mine by sending them for carpet cleaning in perth wa. Now that seemed impossible for me since I don't live near my Mom's place anymore.

DIY Cat Barrier for Under $100 (See-Through, Climb-Proof, and Too-Tall-To-Jump)

ICYMI: I gave up Cotton after deciding that after trying so many things, my two adopted cats Dahlia and Cotton were just never going to get along. Long story short: I missed her. And Cotton's back. And Dahlia's not going anywhere. My heart is big enough to keep trying. And my apartment is big enough that if I need to keep them separated long term (or permanently), it can be done.
I'm going to write-up a separate post about some of the solutions I've tried, how they worked, who they worked on, and what I'll be trying next. But in this post, I wanted to share the main 'piece de resistance' of having both cats in my apartment: an un-climbable, un-jumpable, see-through barrier to separate Cotton and Dahlia.

Blair's Room | Gossip Girl Decor

Manhattan's debutante Blair Waldorf happens to be my favorite Gossip Girl character.  Her behavior and feelings vary from snobbish to sensitive, but she always (except for a few rare occasions) looks and acts totally pulled together.  Her luxurious bedroom is fit for a queen---and is as pulled together as her preppy fashion ensembles.
