White Bedding

-
I've noticed in my search for bedroom inspiration, a lot of the photos have white bedding.  I used to not like it, but I find that I am almost drawn to it now.  The white makes the room feel bright and clean.  I think if the bedding is a blank slate, there are more places around the room like pillows, curtains, and throws where you can add more colors and patterns.











I'm on the hunt for some nice bedding.  Don't know if I'm going white or something patterned.  Do you have any good bedding sources for me?

    I went to white bedding about 2 years ago and I love it! I change pillows and decor with the season. It's always so fresh feeling! You'll love it if you decide to go that route. I just have a white down comforter accented with colorful throws and various pillows (like pic 5).

    I had white bedding for a long time and then changed to more color but recently I felt like going back--it is so crisp and clean.

    I found a couple of nice 3 or 400 thread count sets at Homegoods for a really good price, but then the nicest sheets I found were some organic white at Target of all places. The Target sheets are the softest I have and they were very large so if you have one of the newer deep mattresses they would be plenty big. I also found a nice solid white quilt at Homegoods for $39.00.

    I like to use all white and then use a folded colored quilt as an accent, or some colored shams or throw pillows. The white is so easy and calm for a bedroom.

    I also have some pre-quilted white fabric and am making a new tailored white dust ruffle--very plain and fitted.

    IKEA! Ha but maybe that has to do with me being cheap. I like white bedding for the fact that you can bleach it and it's timeless. So I would say invest in whites and spring for cheap fun prints that are trends!

    I am crushing on the West Elm Organic Pintuck or something like that. It's all over Houzz I just can't bring myself to pay that much yet. Did you ever find anything you liked?

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
