There is nothing more soothing to me than the color blue. I have always wanted a blue bedroom, but somehow I've always end up with a different color. I've had lilac, peach, hunter green, plum, and even pink. Never blue.
Well that's going to change. After spending a couple of hours creating the following mood board for the Debenham's Dream Bedroom Competition, I realized how much I truly need to go blue in my bedroom. Just looking through the Debenham's catalogue and picking out the beautiful blue items calmed me down after a stressful day. Imagine what it would do for me if I was surrounded by it each night! So it's resolved: win or not, I'm going to be redecorating my bedroom to a nice soothing shade of blue sooner rather than later.
I had a great time choosing items for my mood board. I started with the little blue bird that you can see on the right. It was whimsical and such a light touch that I knew I had to include it. Once I decided on that shade of blue, things quickly fell in place. The Antoinette chest is just gorgeous, and I love the Duck Egg 'Pollen' curtains. I could imagine myself losing myself in a book on the chaise lounge covered with the blue throw. The bird cushion seemed a perfect fit to complete the picture.
I wanted a piece of wall art, and the three tone "Live, Laugh, Love" print struck me because I feel that I need to stop each day and reflect on what is important in life. In fact, I feel quite a strong connection to each item on the board and am really happy with the results.
Now I just have to keep my fingers crossed. The winners of the contest will be chosen by Jen from Love Chic Living and Annie from Mammasaurus. Wish me luck!
