Hi and happy Monday! I don't know what it is about the transition from summer to fall, but no matter how prepared I think I am, it always comes on like a speeding train. In addition to buckling up for school, sports and extra curricular activities, my son, Luke will be graduating from high school this year, so we are in the throes of the college application process too. Those of you who have already been there can attest, there is a bittersweet note to this senior year. Yes, it's very rewarding to watch your child take the leap, but it's also really hard to think about all the 'lasts', since as mother's, so much of what we hold onto are all of the 'first's'… Being of the overly sentimental variety, I have to catch myself from going overboard. "It's the last time you will be home for the first full moon of September!!!" or "You must give me a hug goodbye every morning before you leave for school!" And because he has reached that stage where he's ready to leave the nest, he humors his mom and obliges… Most of the time.
So, where am I in the decorating process you ask? Right now I'm deciding on furniture for my bedroom and have been perusing my file of inspiration photos.
My master bedroom has windows on each side of the bed, so many of the photos I've collected have that configuration too.
Symmetry is very appealing visually. I prefer it when lamps match and bedside tables are switched up.
I love the prints in the room above and how they all work together without competing.
I adore everything about the room above.
Erin Martin designed this warm and inviting room.
The antique bed with crisp white sheets and plaid wool blanket is heavenly.

I have always loved four poster beds.
This room was designed by Will Wyck for the San Francsisco Decorator's Showcase several years ago. It was even more spectacular in real life…
Hope your week is wonderful!
Such gorgeous bedrooms and I am such a fan of a soothing palette for a bedroom. The Suzanne Kasler room has always been a favorite…
