Decorating the house has become my new obsession. Well, it's not really new, I've been pretty obsessed ever since we moved in, but I've gone through stages of obsession - from the first few months happy excited obsession, to months three - seven of minimal obsession to my current MUST COMPLETE ROOMS obsession.
I've gotten the advice from others so I keep telling myself that you can only find so much stuff while really looking for it, and some things you will just stumble into. But everytime I walk into our guestroom with its empty walls and plain looking bed I feel an urge to run to Bouclair. But then I get there and nothing really speaks to me and I leave frustrated with another white candle.
Add to this that there is more than one room that needs a bit of TLC, and you can see why my head is spinning. So the question is, is it better to decorate one room at a time - first focus on the office, and then the guestroom, and then the master or should I walk into a store looking for stuff for my officeguestroommaster...leading to the aforementioned candle!
So with this post, I think I need some advice. One room at a time or everything at once? And while you're responding, if you have any ideas to freshen up a light blue guest bedroom I'm all ears!
There's this DIY blog that I've become a bit obsessed with myself, UCreate: http://www.u-createcrafts.com/ They've got all sorts of diy projects, but for your purposes some of their decorating tutorials are really cool. I haven't gotten around to making any myself yet, but that's only because my husband has commandeered all our wall space for his decor. Anyways, check it out. Personally I always prefer to make my own decor when I can so that it can custom (for color, size, etc.) for the space, because it's something I'm proud of, and it's always a conversation starter. I especially liked this one: http://www.u-createcrafts.com/2010/04/photo-wall.html and this one from another blog: http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/chicago/how-to/how-to-make-fabric-art-031058
