Inspiration

Saw this picture on apartment therapy:



And it immediatly made me think of this picture from the new house:



It is just off the living room (which i plan to paint a shade of light grey), so im thinking a wall of grey/white/black wallpaper could look really cool right there!

In the long run I would love to change the railing on the stairs to something more modern, it isn't one of the highest priorities now but it goes on the list.

Bedroom photos

This set of bedroom photos from Judith Wilson has me rethinking the bedroom plan. I think instead of the metal bed (which I'm still afraid of hitting my head on when reading in bed), I'm going to start with just a support for the mattress




And this is an idea I hadn't thought of, I have a yellow throw blanket and yellow shams but otherwise white sheets. I like the idea of putting the yellow sham under the white pillows (earth shattering i know)

Inspiration pictures

Some pictures from different books by Judith Wilson - these are mostly living rooms.

The living room

I have more inspiration pics on my computer than will fit in this post as every time I see something I like I save it. It has actually been really instructive in defining what I want for the living room, rather than having to identify what exactly I like in a given picture I can see the common themes across all the ones I have saved (not very hard)






Lots of white walls, clean lines, wood floors with only small amounts covered with rugs. (and white eames rockers, i have a slight obsession. it took 6 months to convince The Husband that they were not too funny looking and I now have one. And 99% of the time he can be found sitting in it)

And here is what I have pulled together so far:



The chairs I have already, the couch is also basically the one we have. The main piece which is missing is the sideboard/media stand. This one pictured is from room and board (they have a few that I like), but I haven't given up hope on finding a true vintage one.

The dining area

First the inspiration (i really should have saved these with info about where i got them, but i didnt, so sorry about that...)





And then my take on it:



No bench (husband is strongly against it) but 6 of the chairs (the modernica fiberglass ones, which I think are nicer than the so called official reproductions that are made out of plastic). The dishes are crate and barrel everday, thinking about a set of 12? the wallpaper would be for an accent wall or accent frame.

For the lamp I was thinking of an oversized white drum shade like in some of the pictures, but another option would be a sort of felt version of the capiz pendants you see around. This is my attempt at a sketch. Still thinking about the options here.

The bedroom plan

First a few of the inspiration pictures:





Notice a theme?
Here is what I've put together for the bedroom



A mix of pieces we have already (bedding, alarm clock, picture, nightstands) and ones I want to get (namely the bed). The grey is for the walls. We currently have a tiny tiny bedroom without even space for a small dresser, but I like how simple and cosy it is. As long as the closet in the new place is big enough (and our closet now is nothing near large) I won't bring a dresser in either.
