WHITE VERSUS BLACK

Have you ever been stuck in a design dilemma, where you think you finally know what you want and you start to feel the rush and excitement of decorating, just to then realize that you haven't really made up your mind and your indecision is wreaking havoc on your sanity.  Well folks, let me tell you this is exactly where I'm at.  For the longest time, I've been going back and forth in my attempt to make a decision for our master bedroom makeover.  

I can safely say that indecisiveness is part of my nature; being a Libra, I think it goes without saying. The good news is that most of the time my uncertainties quickly become clear and I am able to get back on track and all's well that ends well. However, this is not the case in this situation.

For me, there can only be one of two color schemes for our master bedroom; white or black... I just simply cannot see it in any other color. The problem is, which one of the two?  Do I want to go with an all white bedroom? Feminine, calm, serene, soothing, airy.  Or do I want to go with an all black bedroom? Moody, cozy, warm, cocoon-like, sensuous.

I've assembled some images here for white and black bedrooms alike and I am hoping (fingers crossed) that you all weigh in and tell me which side of the scale you favor.  WHITE or BLACK???  Please do tell!

I always look forward to your comments.

 xo,

TUESDAY'S TIDBITS

With the fall season soon upon us, we tend to think about cozying up indoors; sitting by the fire, reading our favorite magazines and books.  All the while anticipating the upcoming holidays that are hurdling our way.  You can’t escape it, you can’t deny it... you see it everywhere.  Halloween and Xmas decorations alike are crowding the shelves and window displays throughout.  Personally I’m not one to think that far ahead; I’m more of a last minute thinker.  The adrenaline of last minute planning and purchases give me the drive to push my limits.  Suffice it to say, I excel under pressure. 

With every new season, we are awakened and inspired by new fashion looks and home decor paraphernalia that promise to rejuvenate our wardrobes and breathe new life into our homes.  It’s no secret that autumn is my favorite season and I’d like to welcome it in all its splendor and savor the goodies it’s got to offer.
