3 Tips for Redecorating the Bedroom

If you know me, you know that I like to change the décor in my room more times than I change my hairstyle! Lately I have had the itch to reorganize and redecorate my room while still keeping my main pieces of furniture the same. I spend way too many hours on Pinterest and Houzz trying to find different ideas and inspiration because I want to be able to translate the vision in my head onto the canvas that is my room. Throughout this process, I have come across a few tips that I thought I would share with you on easy and effective ways to redecorate your bedroom.

1. Change your duvet cover. 

This may seem silly, but simply changing the color of your duvet cover can drastically change the tone of the room. I currently have a dark brown duvet cover that I am going to be switching out for a light grey one. I want to take the focal point away from my bed and add a more calming atmosphere into the room.

2. Add accent pillows.

Staying in the same color family as your duvet cover, add patterned pillows that complement the tone of your room. Since I am going to have a light grey duvet, I will be adding charcoal and navy blue accent pillows to my bed and on the reading chair that I have in my room.

3. Hang gallery walls and mirrors. 

Adding images and wall accessories can definitely spruce up a room and are easy to change in and out. I am finally going to be putting up all of my wall accessories that I have collected over the years and adding more of my personality on my walls!

What simple things do you do when you are bored with the décor of a room? Once I have my room completely redone I will post the before/after images.

Five Friday Favorites

It’s finally Friday AND it’s the official start to summer this weekend!! Does anyone have any fun plans for the holiday weekend? I am planning on just relaxing, hanging out with family and of course watching the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday.

Here are my Five Friday Favorites:

1. Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop 
I could not be happier that they just opened a Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop down the street from me! They literally make the best made-to-order sandwiches with fresh roasted pulled turkey – my favorite is the Cole Turkey!

2. Daily Dose of PR
PR News posted a great personal #PRmantra on Twitter this week that I loved and that I had to share!

3. Kate Spade Surprise Sale
Kate Spade has the best sales and this surprise sale was no different. If you follow me on social media, you know that I purchased a new purse!! If I could I would buy the entire store!

4. Reclaimed Pine Cross Base Desk from West Elm
Love, love, love this desk. It is so simple, yet adds so much character to a room!

5. Indianapolis 500
For anyone that knows motorsports, you know that this weekend is one of the biggest racing spectacles in the world – the Indianapolis 500 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Every race car driver dreams to compete in this race and every race fan dreams of watching their favorite driver “kiss the bricks”! I hope to one day be able to attend the race in person and experience everything that makes this race so special and unique, but until then I will watch as the best drivers in the world go over 230 mph for 500 miles!
