INSPIRATION FOR YOUR NEST: MOSTLY WHITE

As Jon and I have been planning and thinking through 2 possible home moves this year. With the final move being the final for at least 5 years *crossing fingers*. I've been thinking through inspiration for our new nest and how we can merge his sense of style and my ever changing taste. I started noticing that a lot of the home pictures and ideas I was drawn to are rooms with a majority of neutral colors, varying textures and pops of color. I think this idea is brilliant because, for people like me, who love change and like to redecorate with the seasons, this is a much better and less expensive solution.

I can invest in good quality neutral pieces of furniture and necessities and then sprinkle color and pattern throughout with textiles, small decorative items, pictures, and some re-vamped chairs and smaller pieces of furniture from the thrift store. Changing the look of one room will be as simple as buying a new throw blanket and adding a painted wooden chair from a thrift store. :)

I am especially drooling over the idea of having different colored//styled chairs in the dining room and open shelves in the kitchen to display some of my colorful dinnerware. AND the fact that Christmas and holiday decorations would look so perfect against a neutral palette. Love!
