I love House Beautiful’s March 2011 issue, well I LOVE all issues but I couldn’t wait to flip through the issue that arrived in my mail box on Friday (thank you post man for not driving by this time and leaving my mail!!!).  I knew I wanted to skip around a bit and share this bedroom in the upper level of our house.  I used to call it the first floor master, as it once once the master bedroom for the house until previous owners added on.  Remember this before picture from when we moved in.

I painted this bedroom to coordinate with a set of bedding that I had, it’s usually easier to paint around objects, bedding, or decor you already have as opposed to painting and then finding everything else for that room to coordinate around your paint color.  The bedding below is from Pottery Barn, one of my favorite ways for new bedding is to buy just the duvet (sometimes shams too) on sale.  If you find the right piece you can easily and pocket book friendly update an existing bed set without having to spend a few hundred dollars on an entire new bed set.  Example below, I found that duvet on Pottery Barn a couple years back for around $50.

So I went with green.  Yup…. what in the world does that have to do with House Beautiful and the all about Pink issue?  Nothing really except I repainted it this fall, and yes the color is pink.  I’m going to save those pictures for tomorrow and leave you with some of these awesome images from House Beautiful for today.

Enjoy.
