A Lotta Splash of Color

I am sorry I've been gone for a bit.  Did you miss me?  I missed you.  I want to talk about my living room.  I finished the dining room it shares and LOVE it but my living area feels a little bland.  Of course, Miss Lonny Magazine and House Beautiful have come to my rescue and given me some colorful inspirations.

A little turquoise and pink?  I think so!  

Headboard or Canopy Bed?

I hope that all of you have a had a very lovely 2010 and I wish you a happy 2011!  I'm sorry I've been M.I.A. for a while.  It was a busy but very fun holiday and now I'm back and ready to share some more projects and ideas.
The bedroom in our house has been pretty neglected.  We have a bed that was passed down to us, and both the Mister and I are ready for something new.  I am loving the upholstered beds that seem to be all the rage and I am thinking about creating my own.

Grace Bonney does it right with this beautiful DIY headboard.

Love this fabric!

Although I tend to be drawn to more vibrant patterns for headboards, I LOVE how this simple pattern mixes so well with the wall and pillow!

How about this headboard inspired by the Mad Men bedroom?

Aaaaahhhh!  I love a little inspiration in the evening!
