Dreams of Bedrooms Past
When my computer died, I spent some time delving into my old external harddrives, an experience which I quickly discovered is not unlike browsing old family photo albums. I had photos backed up from 2007, and some from even earlier. What particularly kept my interest were the photos from the days when Phil and I lived with my brother. Yep, the three of us shared a tiny roof of an old Ohio bungalow, and even better than the excitement of renovating the house was the fact that we all actually got along really well. It was lots of fun! For the most part. As much as people joked about it, I don’t think our two years together in this house would be exciting enough for a sit-com, but who knows? Maybe someday I’ll turn it into a novel!
Right now Phil and I live in a small ranch, and have been working on making changes as our budget allows. (Check out some photos of our living room here and dining room here.) Probably the last room we’ll really touch is our bedroom. It’s pretty awful right now. We actually have sheets tacked up over our windows! It’s difficult to remember what it was like having a pretty bedroom all those years ago, but I’m so glad I stumbled on the photos! It’s great inspiration to make a few easy changes to the bedroom we have now. After all, when you’re a married lady, you definitely shouldn’t neglect the bedroom, eh?
So true about old hard drive, its like the modern day family album #thosewerethedays But, yes most definitely there is more memories to be made in your home now. xxx
I live next to family, and I have grown so accustomed to having people to drink coffee with that I don’t know how I’ll ever handle change. What a lovely room you had. hope you’re feeling well.
Love the Beatles wall art. I love that song!
So beautiful and minimal. It makes me want to purge my belongings and open everything up and let the light in.
That’s my main problem right now- I need to do a big purge, and I’m putting it off! I like STUFF!
I love that bedroom! ;)
Love that horse picture!
Love the Beatles wall hanging in the bedroom! Was that a DIY or did you pick it up somewhere?
It was a DIY I did a few years ago. Just vinyl letter stickers from Office Max stuck on a sheet of plywood and painted black. :)
Aww I loved that bedroom/house! Cant wait to see you soon!!
incredible space! so full of light and colour!

I really need a kick in the pants to get our bedroom looking nice! I loved it in our first home – painted yellow, with a pale yellow ceiling, huge windows and vintage sheet curtains. Now it is painted baby blue, and while I probably could ask to paint it, I’m not sure I want to deal with it. I’m realizing the right curtains are what I really need to transform the room…plus getting boxes out of there! Love your decorating, always.
You’re old room looks lovely and that puppy! We’ve been renting and can’t decorate and I hate that I’m unable to put my stamp on the place. x
Love this beautiful bedroom!
