Creating a Bedroom About Us

CIMG0273I don’t know about you, but our bedroom seems to be on the bottom of the priority list when it comes to decorating.  This is obvious as guests do not visit it very often (hopefully!).  So in my chaotic framing of photos, I spent some time adding to our room. CIMG0274 I wanted a room that was about usCIMG0275{I hide our clock behind the frame…}  CIMG0276CIMG0279CIMG0281Though small our tiny little bathroom deserves some TLC just like every other room in the house…CIMG0284Clear of clutter and filled with things that remind me of “us” our bedroom is now the refuge it was intended to be.

Do you make your bedroom decor a priority?  What more could you do to make it the place it deserves to be?

  1. Unfortunately, no. This is the last place where anything is done as far as remodeling or decorating because it's not a common area. I have some ideas for our room that need to get completed. I do have to keep the room sparse, so that there are no dust collectors in the room for my husband's sake.

  2. I do wish our room was more of a refuge, and less of a "catch all" for everyone's junk. It has potential, and frequently starts the week looking just how I'd like it to look, but inevidibly by Friday it has piles of this and that on the floor, laundry, broken toys, clothes to be mended...it's a vicious cycle. I do wish it was the one room in the house that was non-negotiable as far as things piling up...need to work harder on that, I think.

  3. I got new bedding two years ago that I've yet to put on the bed because the wall color is wrong. I so need to give my bedroom some attention.

  4. Your room is great!!!! Ours is a mess. We only go in there to get dressed and go to bed at night, so it's not been a priority. It doesn't help that our house was a fixer-upper, so major time and money has been spent in other areas.

    I could start with cleaning out the closets and some major clutter. I would love to have a fresh start for Spring. :)

  5. Hi Ashley! Love the beach/us/wedding theme. It all looks so pretty! Ry and i got married at the beach but I never thought about making a bedroom like that, perhaps I should! Love the decor!! Have a great day! Vanessa

  6. Ironically, I have been working on our bedroom as well. It has always been a low priority. I love the shelf you created in your room. Very pretty!

  7. Actually - our bedroom is a priority to me. It was the second room we "did" at our house - the first being the kitchen. I've always felt it important to have a nice space to rest - to enjoy - to just be. I'm working on redoing some things in it right now, but definatly value the importance of our place to recharge and just be us. Loved this post. I'm so hiding the alarm clock behind a frame. Duh! :)

  9. NO. I really really dislike our bedroom. I have said for a year that I am redoing the entire thing this summer. Because I don't love it, I don't keep it as clean and tidy as the rest of the house either. I need to get inspired!!! I like your personal touches that helps give me a few ideas! Thanks! Bri

  10. I am one of those OCD people that HAVE to make the bed every single day. Is a priority to me to make it as confortable as possible, especially after having a little one- I stayed there for a while and everyone that visit us ended up there. I am working on a nice set of custains to match our set which is currently Brown and aqua, but I so want it to be airy 'cause it will be white come summer. I do have to work on getting more wall art though.

  11. I love the idea of hiding the clock behind the pretty frame.

    And, yup, the bedroom always seems to be last on our list too!

  12. Yes, our bedroom has become last too. I'm ok with that since we are creating a design studio for me off the guest room. Someday I'll do something nice and artful for the bedroom (once I have my studio)...
