It's me again. Bearing news that I am just too tickled to keep to myself.
A few weeks ago after getting back to the States, I took a brief and hectic trip to Newport to finally see the house we are moving into this fall and to see...my new room! Or suite I should say...gosh, I'm suchhhh a brat. I'm hogging up not one, but count 'em, TWO of the 5 bedrooms of our new house. The rooms are connected by a Jack and Jill style bathroom; the room towards the rear of the house will be my "study" and home to my killer new desk, a coffee table and couch for me and friends to sit and contemplate the meaning of life, as well as a cozy little chair that is splendid for curling up with a good book. In my "boudoir", I'll have my cloud-like bed, a dresser, and possibly a vanity. I really cannot wait to see it all put together when I come home in December!
I don't know what I'm more excited about...having a bedroom big enough to be called a "suite" or decorating this said "suite". I decided to go a completely different route than my current room, leaving the butter yellow walls and embroidered pink quilt behind in Kenilworth with the rest of my childhood. My inspiration for my new room is a mix of my recent travels, photography, and my ever-flourishing affinity for all things vintage. When I close my eyes, I see a neutral pallete in shades of beiges, grays, and browns, with light and airy linen drapes and cream colored bedding resembling frothy cotton candy. I see black and white prints on every wall, and even some postcards from my travels hanging from twine all over the room as if they were drying in a dark room. Here are some items I've selected below, so you can close your eyes as well and dream with me:
 |
| My chandelier is made of shells! It looks like it has been previously owned by a mermaid, I love it! |
 |
| Makes me wanna take a nap just looking at it... |
 |
| Love this weathered beachwood look |
 |
| My ottoman is made out of old burlap sacks! |
 |
| The pièce de résistance...my desk is actually a giant suitcase that opens to reveal hidden drawers and file cabinets...I'm a little obsessed... |
