It's best to start with a vision board when redoing a space especially since I'm not the "client" but my daughter is. I see things that my eye is naturally drawn too but she will have an idea what is inside her head and I try to guess what she wants to do or what she likes, what is her vision? So instead of guessing, I've been "pinning" images to the Bohemian Chic board and asking her if this image or look is what she has in mind. She gives me the thumbs up or says, "no, I want it more simple" or "that's too cluttered of a look". I believe I tend to be more cluttery, yes I think so. I created this vision board on Pic Monkey so I can "see" as I listen to what that vision is or hopefully be transformed too. That's what so great about Pinterest, I'm a very visual person so seeing something I like or don't like really helps.
So what are we going to do in this Adult {ish} Bedroom? We will keep some key pieces, such as my childhood bed with it's chippy white paint as seen in the top picture. The desk which she repainted white a couple of years ago. We may shop for a new chair or I think I have one in the garage that will work. The Button Chair came from my neighbor, it's from World Market and is so comfortable. I love it's different patterned buttons and the linen material. We added a patterned pillow from Homegoods and a tandem bicycle pillow I shopped the house for, I got it from So Vintage Chic this past year, blues and corals are one of my favorite color combos and who doesn't love a tandem bike full of flowers? .We have had this log for a few winter seasons and I've always had in sitting in the fireplace grate just for looks. I had Mr. Incredible cut it straight and flat and then I tapped it off and painted the bottom 1/3 white for a cute little side table.
That's what we have done so far, we did pick up some bedding from World Market and a few more pillows from around the house. Here are the links on a few of the items we plan on incorporating into the décor of her Boho Chic Bedroom.
1.} the crochet edged pillow case is from Pottery Barn to add some texture, Bohemian style has lots of textures and patterns and a very organic look
2.} globe terrariums with moss and air plants along with the copper geo terrarium
3.} I loved these succulent ceramic candles I saw at Anthropologie and they are sold out now and when I went into the store they a 2 left but the flowers were broken, :( but with lots of faux and real succulents in her room it will be ok, I just thought they were adorable
4.} the beaded light from HERE I think would make a great statement but we may go with something a pierced tin lantern, a more Indian look
5.} the micro lights with the mini clothespins and the Instagram photos for some ambiance and pizazz
6.} the log table was easy and free as well as the little jug the Billy Balls are in, I think they are so adorable, came from Trader Joe's
That jug the Billy Balls are in Mr. Incredible made in Ceramics class in high school.....and we have a few more vases and cups that might make an appearance in the her room. The links are highlighted in blue to the items we got already or plan on getting. The colorful hand painted floor I'm in love with, I'm not at all artistic but I'm a good copycat, I wouldn't put it on the floor but a wood piece and hang it up as art. I'd like to get some kind of macramé art or make up some dream catchers.
Her dream bedroom is coming along and it's kind of fun for me to do something out of my comfort zone....Boho Chic here we come!
