At least, until you find the resolve to get rid of it all. I needed a good dose of resolve. This was us, circa 2009-ish. Before I gave myself permission to get rid of anything. I think I was totally having this scary identity crisis of dark glossy furniture circa 2000 and maybe a bad case of trying to be someone else. And it never really felt right. And that’s okay. It’s all a part of the process of learning to make your home truly yours. But our bedroom has always come last on the list. FWIW: Running a website like ours, is really a humbling process.

Bedroom Carpet Zone I'm loving the fall weather we've been having around here lately. It's warm during the day and cold enough for the fireplace at night. The colors in the landscape are so luscious, I'm always sad it is so short lived! Country cottage in the fall So when the weather turns snappy in the evenings, I look for warm comfort in the bedroom when I turn in for the night. This brings me to an age old discussion amongst my clients and myself; carpet the floor in the bedroom or not? Lovely thick carpet via Cozy Canadian Cottage I adore the hardwood floors throughout my house and use area rugs winter through summer. Most of my clients feel the same. I use area rugs in the bedroom as well, a large one on the diagonal under the bed or scatters on each side. Easy maintenance and change is always an option. Plus love the shiny floors!

Wooden bohemian bedroom interior Bohemian interior bohemian bedroom Jada Pinket sSmiths meditation room (this would not chill me out) Bohemian bedroom bohemian bedroom inspiration :Cabin bed I have just completed my first two shifts as a fully qualified nurse. After three years of training and having nurses looking over my shoulder to make sure I am 'safe' it is so weird to finally be told I can give an injection without anyone there (of course I have given thousands supervised) and write Staff nurse on paperwork- eek! Although I have felt like a rabbit in headlights, I have had a really good couple of shifts and think I am going to like this ward. I am however, really tired from the countless sleepless nights leading up to my first day (so many nightmares!) so this post is dedicated to my favourite place - Bed :) I am of to yoga for some much needed relaxation xxx Gabi xxx Original article and pictures take frommoontomoon.blogspot.co...
