New, Natural Bedroom

Hello All!

Once again, I apologize for falling behind on my blog. I am learning to juggle my new job and having a life at the same time. It is challenging. I am working so hard on getting my apartment together. I really hate living in an unorganized and unfinished place so it has really been my priority during my spare time. As I said before, I am keeping in mind the environment while decorating and furnishing my place so I thought I would share my findings!

I will start with my bedroom. Two words I kept in mind while decorating my room was Natural and Serene. I wanted my bedroom to be a peaceful place that I wanted to fall asleep in. One that was comfortable and would look good even when it's a little messy! I got some of my inspiration from Pottery Barn (picture below).






My room is not nearly as beautiful and put together, but I pulled a few items from this picture including the color palette, the use of shells, and using natural wood for my bedroom. I am not able to paint in my apartment so I am having to keep the wall the greyish blue color. Ick. It is still in progress, but here are some pictures of my bedroom!!


I LOVE my bedding. I recently purchased the duvet and shams from West Elm. They are organic cotton and sooo comfortable!










I am adding some flowers to my vase (made out of recycled glass) which will add some life to my dresser!




This is my bedside table with a lamp and linen shade (filled with sand), a few journals and books, and a natural wood frame with special picture inside.

All of my candles, in my bedroom and throughout my place, are soy based. I found several different kinds at Target for about $8 each.

Hope you enjoyed the bedroom tour! If you have any questions about where I bought items just write a comment and I'll respond!
