Pink & Grey Guest Room

"I need inspiration for my guest room. It has gray walls, white trim, light pink accents, a gray comforter, & white furniture. Any ideas floating around?" - Debbie

Check out some great pink & gray bedrooms I have found along with some of the key components that makes these rooms great!

Introduce your accent color through art or through interesting throw pillows and reupholstered chairs

Books are always a classy way to add to a color scheme

A jar of beautiful pink flowers will add style and color. Mirrors are also an amazing accessory in this room.

The light pink curtains and throw on the edge of the bed make this room feel light and airy. I also love the vanity, lamp & dress-form to make a girly escape.

Couch Covers - to do or not to do?

"What are your thoughts on couch covers...I'm contemplating the idea and thought who better to ask than you :)." - Krista

Well, couch covers are rarely ideal although often they are the only affordable option...especially for people on a limited budget. I know that I had a couch cover when I was in college to cover  my less than appealing, hand-me-down floral sofa! If you do need to cover a sofa I recommend purchasing a quality couch cover so it fits your couch as best as possible. 

In terms of design I am very drawn to white/cream couch covers because they give the loose cover a shabby chic look. In addition throw pillows are an excellent way to an old couch look new! Check out my inspirations!
