My Bedroom Inspiration Board | Floral + Stripes, Red + Green, Vintage + Eclectic


I've been fine-tuning the revamp for my bedroom since selling all my vintage French provincial furniture. Above is the mood board I created to keep me on track and focused. (I tend to get very sidetracked as soon I set foot into an antique store or thrift shop.) 

I'm actually sticking to a color scheme (sorta) in the space: vibrant crimson, fresh yellow-green, and leathery brown with splashes of black, grass green, and burlap beige.
Floral will mingle with stripes. I'm going to double layer curtains - solid red on the outside, sheer ivory in the center. Furniture will have clean, sleek lines with the exception of my frilly iron headboard and vintage black nightstand. Oh, and I'll be bringing in my big Gone with the Wind poster framed as a spotlight-stealing piece of art.

The little desk area will go in my closet nook. I'm hoping to find or diy a simple desk and thrift a file cabinet - both will get painted in a fresh, limey chartreuse. So many do-it-yourself plans and projects are piling up on my list! I just need the weather to get nice and warm and dry so that I can take them on. :)

What do you think?

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.
