room idea: yellow and gray bedroom.

This board took me an exceptionally long time to create because I was trying to use my own bedroom as inspiration. Currently, there are only two things in my bedroom I adore - the lamps and the gallery wall. I'm only 1/4 of the way done with refinishing the furniture in there and all of the linens can get thrown out the window for all I care. Bottom line: it is in major need of a makeover.

tip: No need to be serious in the bedroom. Find something that makes you laugh to keep the energy fun, fresh and care free.

trend alert: using a dresser as a nightstand.

Dressers as nightstands feel very trendy to me lately - especially as spaces get smaller and storage gets more and more important. A great place for storing bedding, lingerie, pajamas or even socks, using a dresser as a nightstand feels like it might just be my next move.

And some extra photos for inspiration. I'm really liking the painted dressers for an added pop of color paired with a mirror to make the dresser super functional.

how to: nightstands designed 3 ways

Some people are team bed, I'm team nightstand. I believe revamping your nightstand(s) can completely revamp your bedroom. While the bedding helps complete the room, the nightstand provides a canvas for layering styles, mixing textures and playing with color and pattern. It's like a mood board for your bedroom without the fabrics. 

So, if you're in the market for redecorating inspiration, here are three nightstand ideas that showcase just what I'm talking about.
