Bedroom Style Quiz

-
I've been looking through so many bedroom inspiration pictures, that I almost get confused on what look I'm going for.  I think I have a transitional design style, mixing the modern with some traditional.  I know I want our bedroom to be calm and soothing but have punches of color.  I love our furniture and it's fairly new so I know we're keeping these pieces.  I may find something I like one week, and change my mind about it the next.  I show them to hubby and he just shakes his head because I am so indecisive.  He told me to just make up my mind and do it already.  Easier said than done. 

I found this bedroom personality quiz and decided to give it a try.


My results: an escapist and a purist.


I find it funny that both of these describe the feel I want.  With the escapist, I want my bedroom to feel like an escape with neutral tones and earth tones.  I think I've decided on tan walls so that will be a great backdrop for more accent colors.  Red is my favorite color so pops will be throughout.  I hate clutter so I don't think there will be an overload of accessories.


The purist in me wants cooler colors.  I plan to add blues and grays in our bedroom so that was spot on.  The upholstered headboard thing is on my list but that's a separate issue.  We have a dark wood headboard so I plan to layer the pillows to lighten it up.

Go on, take the style quiz.  Are the results accurate?

    I just took the quiz and got exactly the same results! I've been looking at bedroom inspiration pictures too. As you say, it is hard to stay focused.

Wall Mounted TV and Hiding The Cords

-
Image
We mounted the loft TV on the wall last week.  We knew we didn't want those ugly cords connected to the TV to be seen.  I had done a few searches to see what our options were for hiding them.  Turns out, there are several.  My least favorite was the cord cover and I knew that wasn't going to work for me. Here are the pieces we bought from Home Depot.  They are wall plates that allow you to pull the cords through but keep them hidden in the wall. After we figured out where we wanted the holes, using the template in the package, we cut a hole right under the TV mount for the cords coming from the TV.  It made me a little nervous cutting a hole in the wall.  The cords also needed a place to exit at the bottom.  We cut the second hole straight down from the top one, right next to the outlet where the cords would be plugged in. To make it easier to get the dropped cords, we installed the top plate first.  It just goes into the hole and the screws tighten it against

Gray Bathroom Cabinets

From the start, I wanted all the bathroom cabinets to be dark like the master bathroom .  I began my usual search online for more ideas. As I was searching, I came across bathrooms with gray cabinets.  I must say, I love the look. I have seen plenty of gray kitchens but never thought to have the bathroom cabinets gray as well. source   source source   I'm a little torn now.  I like the gray cabinets but with all things, my tastes change, so not sure if I would still like them in a couple years.  If I go this route, it would totally throw a curve into the plan since the walls are already painted.  Gray walls and cabinets would be overload. What do you think about gray cabinets?  Are your cabinets a color you don't see often?

Installing Ikea Lack Shelves

I have wanted built-ins somewhere in my home for forever. They look so classic and they are extra spot to house beautiful home decor pieces. I have seen many a hack for turning the Ikea Billy bookcase into built-ins but I kept debating whether I was up for the challenge. Were built-ins too much for me? In my head I wanted something simpler too.  In my searches for DIY built-ins I kept coming across floating shelves. I love the modernness of them. The clean lines. The way they just seem to be coming out of the wall. There were times where I would browse Homegoods and Target seeing all the pretty things I could put on shelves. Alright done. Floating shelves it was. Once I decided on floating shelves, the debate was whether I wanted to build them or just buy them. Building them meant I could make them the exact size I wanted them to be. Buying them meant I would have to just settle for the size they came in. My wall is 90 inches wide and the shelves are only about 75 inches wide so I
