If you are following along on Instagram then you know that I’ve given up home purchases for Lent (longest 40 days/nights of my life… they should make a move about me). Coincidentally, I am overcome with inspiration. Inspiration is literally growing out of my ears like big tufts of white hair. The next major project I will be focusing on in our home is a refresh of our four-year-old daughter’s room.

The above look is heavily inspired by a bohemian vibe and a love of repurposing furniture. The colour scheme is enriched with a deep mustard yellow and balanced with a light mint green, natural woven fibers and whites, anchored with a dark charcoal bedframe.

The current room is currently painted a beautiful mint green called Irish Mint by Benjamin Moore. This is one of the best mint greens on the market and is such a soothing fresh colour on walls. The idea with this refresh was to bring a more modern boho look to the mint green, which is more of a classic farmhouse country look.

Spruce Lawn is a farmhouse, and it’s an old house, so typical farmhouse paint colours like Irish Mint work very well in the space. However I want to see bold, beautiful eclecticism and dramatics come to the forefront in the home. My plan is to take her room to the next level by utilizing what we already have and then some.

When inspiration strikes me it always hits hard. I get kind of manic and my insomnia kicks into high gear. That obviously doesn’t help the situation, as usually the only thing that soothes me is to manifest those ideas into reality. Not for another 33 days you guys. This is going to be so hard.

Nevertheless, the countdown is on and I’m taking you on this journey with me.
