Creating the Perfect Bedroom

Hello, it's me from Ocean Dreams blog and I'm so thrilled to be guest posting on Michelle's lovely blog! I always love coming to her blog and being updated on her latest happenings...it makes me so happy!

So today I decided to write about something fun. I've always wondered what I would do if I could decorate my bedroom anyway that I wanted to, and this post is going to be about just that. It's all about taking my imagination anywhere I want it to go and creating the bedroom of my dreams. So what kind of elements would your dream bedroom have? Here is what mine would consist of:

Beachy Decor

Of course beachy decor would be a given for me. With the tranquil blue colors and lovely beach decor, I think I would be in beach heaven. If I'm permanently located in Southern California (which I'm hoping to be soon), a bedroom that reminds me of the ocean when I'm not dipping my toes in the sea water would be perfect. Plus I happen to love the touch of Hollywood Regency with the bedside dresser in this picture below. Lovely, right?

Lighted Branches

I'm a hopeless romantic so I'm into the whole twinkling lights element. I think twinkly lights above my bed or near my bed would be enchanting. Lighted branches certainly light up a room and in particular I'd love to get a string light with a timer. Plus it's a versatile accessory that works well in a variety of interiors if I wanted to take it out of my bedroom and add it to a dining room or living room, for example.

Bedroom Combined with a Library

Since I love to read like Michelle, I'd very much like to somehow incorporate my dreamy bedroom with a library or multiple bookcases of sorts. I don't think I'd want my entire bedroom to be surrounded by books...but I do think I'd want bookcases to play a part in my space. I love glancing at my books while I'm in my current room and dreaming about which ones I want to read again or which ones I still need to read is fun. Having a library in a bedroom would be lovely and give my imagination wings to fly.

So if you could have the bedroom of your dreams (or maybe you already do), what would it look like? What elements would you combine with your calming space? It's so much fun to dream up how your dream interior would look like and I'm hoping that someday my ideal bedroom will become a reality. Of course by then I'll have to figure out something that works for both BK and I, but for now a girl can dream.

Thanks Michelle for the guest post!!
