ShareThe unexpected adds a playful energy to a room. For his first home, designer Tommy Chambers adapted a Craftsman tool chest as a nightstand, building a simple alderwood base himself to raise it to a more convenient bedside level. “The splash of color is great,” he says, “and I love the nostalgic element of this common item from my childhood.”

ShareYou guessed correctly if you chose option C. Designer Meredith Heron placed two coral-patterned stools at the foot of the bed to enhance the orange color of the headboard.
We randomly chose one person from the comments, and Lisa V. is the winner of an HGTV baseball cap, gardening gloves and this month’s issue of HGTV Magazine. Congrats!
Check back next Wednesday to decorate a new space.
ShareThis suspended bed from BRC Designs is made from reclaimed Birdseye maple culled from the floors of Southern Mills.
You just want to crawl up in it and take a nap, don’t you?
ShareMany of you correctly chose option A. The wall sconce is conveniently hung close to the bed, which properly lights the bedroom and saves space on the nightstand for other items.

ShareI’m a single guy in the market for new bedding. And let me tell you, it is not easy to find a masculine look with some semblance of color. I don’t want all this black, brown and navy blue that I seem to find everywhere — come on, not all dudes are afraid of a brighter hue here and there.
It appears that Bed Bath + Beyond has come through for me, though. I’m sold on their Willamsport Plaid collection.
 Am I the only person who struggles to find non boring, non floral bedding?
ShareNecessity, they say, is the mother of invention — and when you’re the mother of four kids and a top mommy blogger, designing kids’ rooms that are both fun and functional is a necessity. Enter Rebecca Woolf of Girl’s Gone Child; she’s taking us on a video and photo tour of nurseries and kids’ rooms that offer big design ideas for your little one.
Start by peeking inside the whimsical world of Rebecca’s 10-month-old twin daughters, Reverie and Boheme, to get a taste of her eclectic style:
ShareWimbledon 2012 may have come to an official end, but Wimbledon decor can live year-round.
What do you think? Your serve!
ShareI’m always on the lookout for new designers to admire and I think I’ve found one in Amie Corley. This eclectic kid’s room she designed is a looker! It’s fun and playful without coming across as too childish, which can be a difficult balance to achieve.
The color and pattern mixing is masterful, plus I love all the whimsical touches like the butterfly art — guess that’s a theme for me? — and lotus lamp. And don’t even get me started on the zebra rocking horse! (Although, I think this Vespa “rocking horse” I found would fit right in here, too.) This is one kid’s room that is definitely cool enough to transition well through their teen years.
ShareDo you ever get the feeling that things would be so much easier if you just had a totally-not-evil twin? If I did, I would dispatch said stylish twin to do half the home projects I had planned, leaving me to actually accomplish the other half. You see, we’ve been enjoying spring at our new house, as well as planting, raking and building flower beds (more on that later!). All this has left our bedroom project languishing a little.
But aside from amassing inspiration and used furniture, we did make one big update: After months of sleeping on the floor, we finally have a new vantage point, in the form of this Danish modern-style bed:
Miles enjoys his new view.
Actually having a centerpiece for the room has motivated me to finish the makeover. This weekend, we’ll be painting the walls a warm gray shade, and adding accents in green, turquoise and yellow. (Sorry, tangerine fans, the brighter palette won out.)
I’ll keep you posted on the progress! To see more about my inspiration for this room, follow my bedroom design board on Pinterest.
