OK, I'm the first to admit that I went a little overboard this time. And my BF asked me if we were joining the Circus. But it's my bedroom and it's been raining incessantly for the last three weeks. So you can't blame me for making a little spring nest to lift up my spirits.
First of all, let's all remember the winter version of the purple bedroom (click here for more before pics):
As always, I keep the walls and furniture white, so I can use it as a blank canvas on which I "paint" with art, accessories and textiles. I didn't buy anything new. I just looked around the house and gathered everything that would fit the Spring theme.
So basically I switched:
- the pink nightstand with a light blue one;
- the purple bedding with a multi-colored one (yellow duvet cover and assorted blue and green prints for the pillow cases);
- the February orchid with the springy flowers: yellow narcissus and white tulips.
On the wall, I strategically placed the buntings made by me earlier this week in a relaxing therapy session. You may also spot the Spring Tree printable and if you want it for yourself you can download it from here.
Let's also add two more comprehensive pics, for those of you who enjoy some handsome herringbone floors. Opposite the bed, I wake up each morning seeing my gorgeous dark and mysterious purple plum wall. Please also note the beautiful vintage cabinet from my great-grandfather. The only sign of spring here is the Azalea topiary tree. Isn't she a darling?
Good news, everyone! I've been featured at Homework, Mrs Hines Class, Christina's Adventures, Romance On A Dime and Crafty Scrappy Happy. Thank you, Carolyn, Sharon, Christina and of course Betsy and Jaime, you ladies rock!

I love your bright and cheerful bedroom! Your new colors are really great!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Pam, I'm really happy you see the upside of so much color :)
DeleteOh I love your colourful style!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for visiting, Nikki!
DeleteWow your room is so beautiful! I love the bedding & the art! I love that it's so colorful, and all the colors look GREAT together. I'm working on my bedroom right now, & it needs a big time shot of color currently. This is very inspirational!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sarah! I just pulled all the textiles that I had out of the drawers and combined the blues and the greens until they worked together. Good luck with you bedroom, please post it on your blog when it's ready :)

Wow - this looks so amazing!! I love all the spring colors you have. I don't really change my room decor as much as I should for spring. I love how you've dressed it up. Now you have me thinking about what I could do in our bedroom...
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up at Romance on a Dime! I'm pinning this.
It's just new bedding and assorted flowers on the nightstand (perhaps new art above the bed), so you can do it any time, Betsy! Thank you for visiting and for the pin - you are the best!
DeleteI was just saying to a friend this morning that I've never seen a purple painted wall that I liked. Well... I stand corrected! That is totally gorgeous. Love the entire room!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Annie! Do you know those dark purple pansies that look like they are made of soft velvet? My plum wall looks exactly like that. Every morning <3
DeleteIt's really cheerful, I love it! x

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for visiting, Mindie :)
DeleteYour re-do is so fun! LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteI love it!! I think I have the same sheets you do - purple. I do have to admit though, my favorite feature of the room, besides that gorgeous floor, is your patio door. I want one in my room so bad! Anyway, your space is very beautiful and inviting :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Christine! I don't know if I should tell you this, but the door you like is to my little balcony on the 4th floor (I live in a city apartment). But hey - now I'm looking at it from a different perspective and I'm starting to love it more:) Actually I've always liked it and that is why I don't have any curtains to obstruct the sight of it.
DeleteLOOOOOVE it and am sharing it on the Facebook page!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up!
