Coffee and Chit-Chat

Well, I have to go to the shop again today (can ya hear me groaning?) That testosterone filled place is entirely too much for me to handle everyday of the week. I did however make great progress on the computer yesterday and I am hopeful that after today I will back to normal and working from home. My house is a wreck and I'm exhausted and frustrated.
Thanks to everyone who commented on the bedding yesterday. I had no idea it would be so popular. There is another bedding ensemble that has pulled at my heartstrings too. (Actually there are several). Today I'm showing you one that I found at Kohl's. I love how it's completely neutral and soft looking and would go with anything I chose to put in the room. I actually have 3 other options that I own from Pottery Barn that I'm trying to rule out as well. Yes, I'm losing it. The only thing that I can tell you is that I'm going to paint the walls a cream color or perhaps a light taupe because this room is very small people. We're talking 14 x 14 max and most of the space is unusable (closet, 2 windows, and 3 doors) and our furniture is too big (but new furniture is not in the budget right now). So, let's just call this week - a week in bed (LOL).


So, this is bedding choice #2. Would you choose yesterday's or today's? Whatcha-thinkin'?











Have a wonderful, wacky, Wednesday!!

Hi - Saw your comment at roll call over at SITS and wanted to drop by and welcome you to the SITStahood! :)

I personally like today's choice better. The other set, while lovely and striking, seems a bit too busy. I like my bedding to be serene and calming, and I think it would be a bit too much, at least for me.

The set in this post is beautiful - love the mix of stripes and shades, and it still looks restful.

Anyhow, that's my Random SITSta Stranger $.02! :D

Cheers!

I think I like the top choice on this post the best. Mainly because it looks like it goes with everything and secretly I wish I could have white bedding! Stupid dogs ruin everything! :)

Still like the one from yesterday better since it would be really striking with taupe walls while this would disappear. What about all white bedding with the taupe? But then white is something that would look dirty faster than a color. Humm...again no help huh!

Hope your computer is better fast.

Hugs ~
Heidi

I did my master bedroom in soft shades of cream, beige, and brown (I have pics on an old blog post if you want to see it) The walls are a light cream chocolate color. I wasn't sure I was going to love having no color in that room. But I wanted it to be soothing and peaceful and not to feminine so that my hubby didn't hate it. I really love how it turned out. And I am amazed how calming it feels in there.

It was an August post called "master bedroom crisis" if you want to see the pictures. Have a great day!

Hi Suzann! I think today's post would be better considering the size of room! I still love the other one JC's but I think this wouldn't lock you into a color combo and accessories could rule!!! That's my 2 cents!lol Have a great night - Jeannette

Suzann...thanks for your kind comments on my bedroom. I actually got the bedding from several sources...Horchows, Dillards and JC Penny. This is how the bedroom looks today...well not today because I haven't made the bed yet lol...and we do love it!

I'm a color girl. I like softness on the walls and color on the bed! So I like the first one from JCPenney. The bedding is easier to change when you get tired of it than the wall color! I have yellow walls and red bedding. Of course it is a garden home and has no windows whatsoever in that room. So the color wakes it up a bit.

I like today's choice better...I am new to your blog and I really like it! I love your picture of your dream living room...I have that same pictured saved on my computer! I love how neutral this bedding is...you can add a pop of any color to it!
