Alice's Room Makeover 2: Bedroom Home Haul

Hi all! As promised, another blog post in my "Room Makeover" series - click HERE to see the other post where I share my bedroom inspiration.
I've have picked up a few bits here and there, so I decided to share with you what I have purchased for my room! It's all starting to come together now, especially the color scheme (which is blue, white, and orange if you hadn't guessed).  |
| I picked up this cheeky sausage dog cushion from Freedom Furniture. I'm using this cushion as my "color inspiration" - white, blue, and orange. I liked how it was clean and crisp; no fluffy tassels or texture to it, which is a nice balance to the other cushions on my bed, and the textured throw. Next, I found this beautiful dark blue throw which went perfectly with the cushion and the "beachy", not too feminine theme. |
 |
| I found these 2 cushions lying about in my house - a cream cushion with white detailing, and a woven blue cushion. The three together look amazing. |
 |
| I also changed my colorful duvet cover to a simple, textured white one (which we already had). |
 |
| This is honestly everything I could want in a frame - rustic, beachy... just perfect. I love the wooden, over sized frame, and I think that the brown wooden areas against the white wood makes it look really unique and aged (... in a good way). As you can see everything is slowly, but surely coming together and the colors are all looking cohesive, but not too matchy. I've took my desk out of my room as it unnecessarily took up so much room. Make sure to follow me on Bloglovin to stay updated on new blog posts, however, if you do not have a Bloglovin account you can follow my Instagram (which I created a week ago!) and I will update you on there. Love you all!

Alice's Room Makeover 1: Bedroom Inspiration
Follow me on Bloglovin: http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/11555387 I've always been one to change my furniture around and redecorate, but recently I've been feeling like my room is a jumble of colors and ideas. As I'm getting older and my taste is maturing, I've decided to give my room a makeover.
I'm opting for a primarily white bedroom with 2 accent colors - blue and orange. I wanted to steer clear of pink and pastel colors as I feel they are a bit to girly and young for my room. I am keeping my bed and paint color, but I've decided to get rid of my desk (it takes up way to much room), find a new vintage/retro looking bedside, and a new chest of draws. I've collected some inspiration to guide me, so I thought I would share with you what I've found. Of course I do have a budget, so I will need to be smart as to what I spend my money on, and what I can save.
Summarizing my plan:
 |
This is the main inspiration for my bedroom, because of it's beachy, retro vibe. I like how most of the room is primarily white, with 2 accent colors. I also like how the room isn't too girly, and that there are clean, crisp lines with vintage elements (like the bedside table and lights). |
 |
The color combination I'm making my room is primarily white, with some blue and orange.
|
 |
I loved the blue mason jars with the orange gerberas- its the sort of color combination I'm going for.
|
 |
I liked this picture primarily for the simplicity of the room.
