The Winter 2012 Bedroom Tour

We love our bedroom.
Making small changes seasonally gives the room a fresh look.

Introducing our winter 2012 bedroom.....

We reloved last winters shams, bedskirt, drapery panels and black print throw pillows.
We also change our lampshades to compliment the fabrics.

 
You may remember our summer 2011 bedroom.
The light fabrics are perfect for summer, but it was time to winter warm the room.


We need 3 layers of decorative bed pillows or the bed looks unfinished.
That is not a decorating rule. That is a Marla OC issue.


 Checks add a fun touch with pops of red to warm the room.
A lightweight white quilt makes every accessory in every season stand out.

We don't care for matchy matchy so it's fun to decorate with this and that.
All of our linens are reused and reloved.

There is purposely no photo of our dresser.
It holds a very old, ugly TV that refuses to die.
We can't even give it away.

Thanks for taking our winter bedroom tour.

  1. Love the black and white check! I just leave everything as is in our bedroom. I do put a throw at the end of the bed. That is my nod to a winter bedroom. : )

  9. Okay Marla and Steve, how do you agree on your ideas? Who contributes what? My husband and I take forever to agree on decorating things; sometimes it never happens. Sooo... no change of season bedding for us. lol

    What a cozy and attractive room you've created!

  18. Tried to post this earlier, but the whirly thief stole my comment. I love the black gingham no matter how it's used. It's perfect, IMO, for a master BR. With the red for winter, it just looks fabulous!

    Marla, you are so blessed to have a partner in design! I know you know that, but I'm saying it anyway. I love my Sir Lotsa Hair, but he is color blind and otherwise handicapped in that area. At least he smiles and supports my misadventures.

  19. Hi Marla and Steve!

    Just five pillows??? How can that be? I bet Steve had something to do with that.... It makes getting into bed way too easy!

    I always love the look of a white matelasse coverlet. So fresh and also easy to accessorize.

    Hope all is well.

    xoxo Bunny Jean
