Thank you so much for this post! This is not my design style exactly, but the tips you gave are great for any style IMO. I will definitely use this advice when filling my new house!

I love the cottage style bedroom with the green throw on the end. Can anyone tell me where that chandelier comes from? It's amazing.

As for songs, I love Landon Pigg's song "Falling In Love At a Coffee Shop", Hellogoodbye's "Oh, It Is Love" and Dashboard Confessional's "Stolen". I don't listen to break up songs - I just eat ice cream ;)

I've wanted to do this for a while - thanks everyone for the helpful tips! I've also heard that you can paint the entire room in a matte finish and then go back and add stripes of a clear semi-gloss medium. Does anyone have experience with this? If so, which would you advise?

Bedroom has always been last for me as well. With our newest move however I've decided that must change. We're having a home built for us that will not be ready for 4 more months, but I have already bought new linens, a fab tempur-pedic mattress, and have even painted and distressed some side tables in preparation. I consider it not only putting the bedroom in order, but taking a step towards putting my marriage first! Who cares if you have a great living room for guests to enjoy. When they all leave, what's left is the two of you. :)
