Our Joss & Main collection went live last night!! Ahhh!!! Thank you so much for the support with this project we’ve been working on for the past couple months. Â The sale will go through Thursday right here. If you aren’t a member yet, feel free to use this link to get right in. Also, weird note–if you view our “lookbook” on the curator sale page (where they wrote about us and our collection), they flipped the very first photo of our living room and it. is. trippy! Â Onward…
Our kitchen is wrapping up. Â Within the next few weeks, the countertops will be done (give us a couple just more days there), the walls will be tiled, we’ll figure out some genius window treatment and that room will be new and improved and d-o-n-e. Â With the warmer weather coming–
please, oh please come–we can’t wait to get our hands dirty with a garden and a pergola and landscaping and a playset for Greta? Â So many things to do out there. Â But, you know us, we like to keep at least two projects going at a time so we can jump around as we please. Â With that, we’ve decided to turn a little more attention to our bedroom, especially since
Greta’s has officially outdone ours in a major way.
After living with the paint color (Martha Stewart’s Mushroom) for a year and a half–I still love it. Â We both do. Â But the funny thing is–a dark room, although cozy to the max–is hard for me wake up in. Â Maybe it is too cozy?! I even found an inspiring photo I pinned awhile ago from Lonny with almost an identical paint color that we could possibly use as inspiration:
But as much as we love that room, and the paint color–I think we’d like to try something a little more fresh and invigorating.
We’ve had several white/light swatches taped to our wall for about a month and I think I am ready to pull the trigger on a fresh, but hopefully just as cozy room.
When it comes to your bedroom, do you prefer dark and cozy, or light and bright? The jury is still out for us.
Oh Man…I just posted today about my dark moody bedroom….err umm. Now I’m second guessing! Why is paint so nerve racking!
Our bedroom is battleship gray with eggplant bedding and celery accents. It’s my favorite room in the house! However, there are five windows and five doors, so there’s a lot of white trim to break up the gray, which I think makes all the difference. It also gets a decent amount of light, so the gray isn’t oppressive.
We used Glidden Kestrel Gray, but this gray is similar: http://images.myperfectcolor.com/repositories/images/colors/MPC00058541-2.jpg
First time commenting, but I’ve been a long time reader (since the striped curtains in the family room). I just had to chime in. Please tell me you are leaning toward the wood plank wall?! It just screams you.
We are still pin-pointing the exact designs–hopefully we’ll have a mood board for you next week sometime, but we do lo-ove those planks!
So funny! Our bedroom is light and bright right now and I really want to paint the walls a moody color to make it more cozy!
we have a light light blue on the walls with gauzy white drapes. our furniture is a mix of painted white and dark woods. we like to think it’s island-y… it is perfect to wake up in, because the gradually brightening daylight is the absolute best alarm clock :)
LOVE your blog and cannot wait to see what you do!
Sounds dreamy. Thanks!
