This Farmhouse bedroom came out so soothing and relaxing, I cannot wait to see it done! Below I have outlined my thought process for making each selection and provided their links.

Mixing Patterns
Here, I used a horizontal striped comforter with geometric sheets. When mixing patterns try to keep the main base color the same. In this case the main color of the comforter is white with black stripes and the sheets are white with a black geometric pattern. Stripes is a great pattern to mix with geometric shapes. I found the below similar products that could be mixed together to achieve a similar combination to my example picture.

When placing the patterned floor tile, since it usually does not evenly equal your space, you always have to decide where your cut is going to be. Should it be at the doorway where you first enter or at the tub? Most grout lines (depending on the tile) is 1/16" - 1/8" thick. Since I did not like either of my cut-side options, I chose to spread the tiles out and do a 1/4" grout line. Most people hate seeing these grout lines but with this super patterned tile, and the coordinating grout color, it was the best decision. It lined up perfectly from the door to the tub with ZERO cuts. ​

5. Choose Plumbing Fixtures

​Delta is my go-to plumbing brand and every plumber I know likes working with it. They have so many styles to choose from, you are sure to find something you like for your space. The Woodhurst collection was just what I was looking for. It brings that classic traditional design with the curved faucet and the coordinating detail rings at the base of the faucet and handles.

Not only do I mix styles but I like to mix finishes as well. I wanted to keep it light on the counters so I went with a brushed nickel finish for the plumbing fixtures. When mixing finishes, I do it in groups. So since I did the plumbing fixtures in nickel and the cabinet hardware in bronze, my lighting fixtures will match the cabinet hardware to create that "group".

6. Choose Lighting Fixtures & the Mirror

I always choose my lighting fixture and my mirror at the same time. This is an element that needs to work together. Sometimes I find the mirror first and then look for coordinating lights and other times vice versa. There is only one window in the room and it is in the shower, which has a door separating the sink from tub. So I treated this room like it did not have a window at all in case that door is ever closed. So to make it appear larger and extra bright, I chose a wall-to-wall mirror.

Next - Lighting. I actually chose a 5-light single vanity light for this room but when I held it above the mirror it just was not big enough. This was a very large space to fill so this brought me to my decision to do 3 separate large sconces. This also gave me the opportunity to pic something with a little Farmhouse flair. I wanted these to be big and to fill the space so I actually ended up using outdoor sconces and I think they work great in my space.

7. Accesorize.

K.I.S.S. = KEEP IT SIMPLE STAGING
Staging a home to sell is not much different than a accessorizing your everyday bathroom. I understand if you don't have much storage space and things end up on the counter but in this room that is not the case. Store your things in the cabinet and keep your counter clean. Display your every day necessities in pretty glass jars (cotton balls, q-tips, etc). And throw in a plant (faux or real, I'm not judging) to liven the room up.

My super secret shower curtain trick is that I don't use shower curtains. I hate them actually. I will admit that they have gotten better designs out there lately but my go-to is a regular 7 foot curtain. I buy a pair of them (ring tops) and slide them to each side of the rod to frame the shower. Add a shower liner (cut in half) to the backside to protect from water. This really dresses up the space.

And there you have it! My 7 steps to making selections for a bathroom.

The color blue seems to be an overall well-liked color. It can be coordinated into so many different styles and with lots of different color combinations.

​Here are a few blue accent chairs I found that I wanted to share with you!

I hope this combination of blue accent chairs sparked your inner interior designer to dress up your bedroom, living room, or entry way!

​Don't see the perfect chair?

Blue and white together is so soothing. The bold pattern in the curtains, lamps, and pillows boost the overall feeling in the room. The addition of the wood beaded chandelier add that feminine touch and the textured jute rug and ottoman keep it classy. I love how the mix of patterns works together here and is grounded by the white tables.

How fun is this combination?? Just like the bold combination of the blue and green, here, using another primary color, red, looks great! I added a slight nautical theme here in the artwork, stripes, and mirror. I think my favorite elements are the red tables. They bring that bold color in a big way! And the addition of the jute ottomans and the bamboo window shade add that texture I always need in my rooms.

Blue and yellow is so lovely together. Since yellow can be such a bold color, I wanted to tone it down with a soft cream rug and ottoman. This rug has lots of cream with a little blue and even some hints of yellow. I played with the yellow color by adding some gold elements in the side table, lamp, and art. I love mixing bold patterns so these blue curtains and the yellow pillow is great!

Blue and Green are very dominating colors that you would not think would work together but they do! You could do different shades but here I chose to do bold kelly green with my navy blue chair. As always, I added some texture in the rug and the jute ottomans. Since using green, I love the idea of faux plants and even art displaying plants. I think this works so well together.

How pretty is this combination of blue and coral? It's a color combo that not many people would consider using together but as you can see, it works quite well. In this collaboration the rug is what is pulling the two color together. After finding this main element, the rest of the pieces just call into place!

This is actually for my personal family room! I want a rug and coffee table so I put together my own Design Board to make sure everything is cohesive. I already have the sofa, the chandelier, the peacock pillow, and a brick fireplace. The remaining elements are the items I would like to add.

I would call my home style Transitional. It is a pretty Traditional home based on a Williamsburg Colonial house. When we renovated it a couple years ago, we were very careful to stay true to it's original design theme with of course a few updated elements.

I actually have this sofa in the sectional layout and it is the best! It is so deep and comfortable. I would highly recommend it. When you remove the back pillows it is actually the size of a twin bed. I have had several guests sleep on it.
