Quick Change - White Bedroom - One Afternoon - $0



Yes, I just showed you a reveal of the middle bedroom wearing its winter look on February 10...(to see it, go HERE and HERE.)

It had really been all but finished since November. Now, spring is upon us, and it was time for change.

The pretty dark green velvet shams and patchwork throw do not work for a spring room.




Let me digress just a little bit:  

Have I told you how much I LOVE LOVE LOVE all white and greige rooms?!!! I may have, once or twice.

Changing decor with the seasons is so much fun! 




I must say, though, I have NEVER had so much freedom to change, with so little time and effort before!



A few Saturdays ago, while I was working on changing up the neutral LIVING ROOM for spring, I reached a tipping point.



I walked into the bedroom for some reason (which I KNOW you understand) I decided it was the perfect time to begin taking out the dark green books and decorative items, along with the velvet shams and throw. 



Don't ask me why, in the middle of wrecking the living room and dining room, it seemed like a good time to redo the middle bedroom. It just did.



I packed the dark, wintery decor into a few smallish boxes and tucked them under the bed. 



Since I conveniently had a stash of white things working in the living room, I grabbed some of them and started styling the bedroom; I brought in white books, white flower pots, white plates and white candlesticks. 




I swapped out green artwork in the gallery wall for more neutral items.



It seriously took a little more than an hour to do the bulk of the revision! 



I debated whether to take the two largest art pieces out of the room, but I didn't have anything that worked already, so I left them. 



They are darker, but still quite neutral. 



For a little while, I plan to enjoy this room in its white simplicity... 



...but once summer is near, I will probably bring in aquas or maybe even some pinks and yellows...

For those who enjoy changing things seasonally, a neutral room can be a very good thing.  :) 

Word for the Day:
Isaiah 1:18
“Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.

Pre-Spring Mantel in Textural Whites


What do you get when you mix one of these...



with one of these...throw in a few of those...



and maybe a couple of these...




and you sort of like how it is beginning to shape up...



because the crusty, chippy, vintage white stuff looks great with a little bit of green stuff.



A little simple symmetry feels right for a mantel that is getting ready for spring...



So packing up all the tarnished silver and mercury glass and digging out all the chippy white things feels pretty good, even though it means a lot of work...



Especially when you are pretty sure this spring will be a little different than the two previous ones...




now that radiant orchid has been invited to celebrate the season...






Check back to see how an all-neutral room gets a bit of punch from Pantone's hot new color of the year!

Esther 1:6
There were white cotton curtains and violet hangings fastened with cords of fine linen and purple to silver rods and marble pillars, and also couches of gold and silver on a mosaic pavement of porphyry, marble, mother-of-pearl and precious stones.
