So, in an attempt to lighten things up, I started adding a lot of lighter (mostly white) accents...which I adore...but, apparently I become blind to my own decorating & I started to over-do it again...
My husband, with so much love and tact says to me last night..."Honey...please don't take this the wrong way. I'm not commenting on your decorating style. I just have a question...do you think things are starting to look too white in here? A little washed out maybe? Could we maybe add a little color?"
Isn't he the best? He knows me so well...he broached that subject perfectly...
And, I'll be damned...you know what? He was soooooo right...
I stepped back and decided I needed to do something...quickly...so I went shopping...in my basement...
Here we are with the before:
One quick pillow switch & a couple of flowers and POW! ZOOM! PRESTO CHANGE-O!
The after:
I think it looks a whole lot better...the black and white damask is so bold & really stands out and kind of updates the room...the pink flowers are (in my opinion) the perfect splash of color...
2 minutes...a whole new room...love.
Now...about that carpeting...honey?
