M-A-U-V-E….that word may not even be part of your vocabulary if you are younger than me. Do you remember the sponge painting technique too? Luckily, I never jumped on that trend and certainly couldn’t embrace it today either.
Since our home has so much natural light, light carpet and window coverings I wanted some contrast on a couple of pieces of furniture. I was so pleasantly surprised with this color. I love it!
Not much is new in this room – same old black & white – my favorite “go to” color scheme. That little lamp is a Target clearance find and the shade I already had.
The throw blanket and black & white striped pillow covers are from IKEA. (that is my real dog – not an Ewok – that word may not be in your vocabulary either)
This sweet plant sits in a sunny corner of our bedroom in between some french doors that lead to a deck and my dresser. It’s pretty neat to have it back in my possession. Here is a little story about her: 15 years ago I gave that same plant as a youngling to my mom since I couldn’t take it on our cross country move to the East Coast. Mom took such great care of her. It always touched my heart as I would visit every year and see that she was thriving in Mom’s happy, sun-filled home. The plant grew and grew. She even had to be cut back several times as she got carried away. When we arrived here in August this year Mom let me take her home to our new place. Like I never left – we are reunited again as mature adults! Her branches are so thick and healthy (so are mine). I am going to attempt to train her to grow in the form of a tree.
Thank you, Mom, for plant-sitting for so very long.

Love the color and LOVE your headboard!
You all ( or as a through back to Virginia, Y'all) are pulling me to the grey side. My son , the one still at hone, painted his room a nice grey. I helped to choose it. Eeehhhh. Then my aunt and uncle asked me to choose on for them. as a new colours for the master bath and bedroom. SW Agreeable grey. Nice…. Then my son and his wife painted the entire public areas in their home a grey called smoke. Not sure the make… But , sigh, I feel the pull.It is lucky Holly. 🙂 Glad you got your plant back . Happy new week!Hugs, Gee
insert drool marks here…I LUV IT!!!! The head board is to die for!!! Next time outside pics of your new home??? MUAHHHH
I am loving the pics of your beautiful new home Holly. Have meant to comment in previous posts … it looks so lovely & light & airy too. I am so glad you are happy with your move & are enjoying putting your special touches on your new home. I wanted to say … don't worry, your sons will soon adjust. We moved my two sons lots of times to different schools as we were farming & moving around lots … they took a bit of time but soon adjusted. It will all work out great in the end I am sure 🙂 That is a gorgeous story about your plant too. x x x
Love the color Holly and love that view from your room. Ahhhhh! I have to say like the rest that headboard is pretty fabulous too. Glad you are getting settled into your pretty new home.Kris
Your bedroom is beautiful! I love the color you chose for the walls. I have that same color in my upstairs bathrooms. The story about your plant was really neat. It's nice that you have it back now.
I love your style!! 😉
