I never realized how much the weather affected my mood until recently. Lack of sunlight and warmer temps has gotten me in a funk. So I’ve had to find some ways to boost my mood. Like working out, watching a funny movie, or my favorite mood lifter…redecorating! In an attempt to lighten my mood I lightened up the bedroom. I painted over the deep and dark Bittersweet Chocolate with a creamy white called Seashell. It’s so light and bright and it makes me so happy.
And because I still felt like it needed something else I stenciled the wall behind the bed in Coventry Grey. Then I switched out the pillows. I added the black and white chevron pillow using a pillow case I found at Target. Shocking right? I live there lately. I’ve been eyeing it for a while and when I saw it on clearance for $4.98 I grabbed it. Then I took the black and white aztec print pillow from my living room. The small DIY gold striped pillow gets moved around the house a lot. But I LOVE IT with the black and white so I think it’s finally found a home.
