Absolutely love these tips Mary Ann – my bedroom/bathroom is in dire need of a facelift and these tips are perfect!! Congrats again on the Houzz award and on the endorsement by House Beautiful!!!
I’m sure that it will come out great when you follow these steps, but I’m not sure whether it will last long having kids around, it will surely get messed up quickly.
Wow, Mary Ann! That is exciting! Also, I love how you say, "Relax, just decorating" as I need to keep this in mind!

Sounds like the winning combination to me! I always love your style!
Congrats on the Houzz and House Beautiful acknowledgments. Your tips on creating a dreamy bedroom are great. Fortunately I just finished our bedroom and seem to have hit most of the marks.
So I guess my bedroom in black is not dreamy…but congratulations on House Beautifuls Top 5 Reads. Your slipcover post was very helpful!

Congrats Mary Ann. I adore all of your beautiful bedroom ideas, but seriously, who can afford most of those items? If I were to purchase that gorgeous chandelier, for example, I would be paying for it for at least 2 years. See, This is what stresses me out. I see all these gorgeous things for my home, and I can't afford any of it. Thanks for the inspiration, and more anxiety.
I know Carol…that's why I am a big bargain shopper and check out thrift and consignment stores…there are a lot of white sales going on now (great linens at Home Goods and Tuesday Morning)….and Pottery Barn has a pretty beaded chandelier, too. These are things to aspire to…and looks to create within your budget. Relax…just decorating 🙂
It is great to see you guest posting on Houzz. That is fantastic and I love the design ideas!
Lovely bedroom, MaryAnn! Nothing like a calm neutral for a place to slumber.
Congratulations! What a nice nod to your fabulous talents. We're planning a mini-redo of our bedroom and this definitely helps with ideas.

Loved this Mary Ann! I have neutral bedding and a tufted headboard that's similar to the one above. I'm still looking for lamps for my side tables and the right window treatment. I want a black out Ronan shade but I'm concerned about the weight of the fabric.. and pulling it up and down. I have two fairly wide windows.. not sure what to do yet!
Congrats on the award!
Beautiful choices for a bedroom. Congrats on all the recognition, Mary Ann. You deserve it! xo Diana
