The Atwoods: December 2011

Winter's cold temps and shorter days mean less time spent outside and more time inside, crafting to my hearts content. Lately I've started getting bored with our bedroom. I originally wanted our bedroom to be a tranquil retreat with cool, monochromatic colors. As much as I tried to make it work I just wasn't digging it. The rest of my house has warmer colors, reds, blues, greens, etc. I needed color in the bedroom, and lots of it.

I was tempted to completely redo our room (much against Justin's will) until I saw this bedroom redo and I started to invision our current room with accent colors and more patterns.

But it wasn't until I saw this pinterest pic that it became clear. Add pops of mustard yellow and grey (plus I am going to throw some coral in there, too). I've seen that quilt at Target before, but alas it's no longer available. I did, however, find that same pattern in tablecloth form. Perfect, I can work with that.
