Our Shabby Chic Bed

Loving the Beautiful Whites

006 Hi Friends, several weeks ago, I changed our master bedroom from rich and intense colors to whites and pale, soft colors. I also changed the wall color from a shell pink to a cottage white, which I adore.

I was amazed at how much I loved it…..I felt as though I could breathe again. I purchased some of the Rachel Ashwell bed items from Target and pillows from Home Goods. Of course, the comforter and pillow shams were wrinkled and I told myself they would just have to wait to be ironed. I have too many other things to do. You understand, right? Ha.

As the days passed, with no ironing, I found that I loved (!) those wrinkles. I think this is absolutely amazing since I am the most structured person you will ever meet. I want everything perfect all the time and kill myself to get it that way. Yikes….wrinkles. Yes, wrinkles……I love them. I think they are ‘me.’ My husband thinks I am going off the deep end. (wink)

This room is soooo different than the way it was before. I am mind-boggled but so happy with it. I think it is good to change, don’t you?

I might add that I am very blessed to have a husband that goes along with my decorating and mood changes.  I love our bedroom….it is soft, sweet, warm and wrinkled….ha.

Thanks so much for stopping in today.
