MiY 4b: Feminine Moorish

We’ve already seen the first look (striking stripes and polka dots) in this fourth edition of Making it Yours, and now we’re on to the second. I love that this one is so different, yet we’re still using the same bed, lighting, seating, tables, and even the same sheets.

MiY 4b: Feminine Moorish

The rug has a moorish tile design, yet it’s done in a cheery coral and the bedding picks up on that. The curtains also echo the shape in the rug, but on a smaller scale. Creamy white paint, a white pillow with feminine details, and the photography keep the look light and sweet.

Next time, we’re drawing inspiration from the fresh produce section.

    DONT BUY THAT COUCH!! my husband and I did, we were so excited to get it (in the ikat pattern). We assembled it and he sat down and the casters popped right off. the whole construction was poor, so we returned it. it is really cute- I originally saw it in Vogue, but it was a heart break to have it not work out.

  • beautiful hues! Its great to find a fun print in the duvet and go from there!

    Love the duvet cover! so much so that I ordered it, after much thought. yum colors and I like the energy in them and yet they are soft enough for a bedroom.

  • GREAT idea about the hooks and using the cafe rod! Thanks so much! :)

  • I think I need that duvet. I adore this series!

  • This is beautiful! It’s feminine, but not so much that a man would feel out of place. I never thought I’d like these colors together, but the bedding gives you a point of reference to use them throughout the design. Gorgeous!

  • love the rug! you always pick out the best rugs!

  • this is definitely my fave! love-love-love the palette!

  • I love, love, love this! I am such a fan of the moorish patterns. It’s great to see them more and more in the stores.

  • I grew up with heavy, rich textiles and have been thinking about how I could incorporate the beauty of them in a more modern way and in my way.

    I don’t want to ditch the pieces, especially since they will be handed down, but I truly see that I can incorporate the rug above or the panels in a way that will still honor the aesthetic.

    A true thank you for this!

  • ooo. I love this one. That duvet cover is beautiful. Gonna go check out Garnett Hill now…

  • I love those Ballard Designs panels. I’m trying to find somewhere in my house to use them in the persimmon :)

    Hi!
    I have been checking out your blog, it’s fabulous. Curious if you would be willing to be interviewed regarding your experience. We are hoping to understand influences that drive awareness/selection/purchase requirements for home owner/renter and/or interior decorator.

    We are studying small renovation projects. We appreciate if you take a few minutes to fill out this survey. https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dHBQMGNCQ0NHSDgySGlEYnpCRmY5R2c6MA

    This is really pretty – and totally do-able. Great job.

  • Nicolette

    Oh, this is so fresh… and lovely! It’s inspiring dreams of springtime!

  • Okay I am going to need that rug. Beautiful!

  • This is definitely my favorite! I love it!

  • this is my kind of girlie, not too sweet with strong lines in the bed, not to tough with tons of pink. Great board!

  • The table and the sconces are amazing! Also, I think I need to learn photo shop, or whatever it is that you use to make these cool posts!

  • Wow, stunning ideas. The colours are just fabulous. Really loving this one in a BIG way.

  • I love all those colors! Especially, those bed sheets are amazing!

  • You’re right, this one is SO different from the last! I love this bedroom, it’s so beautiful without being too sweet.

  • Oh you are making me so jealous Nicole – because most of that stuff can’t be shipped internationally! LOVE the bedding. Your mood boards have inspired me so much I’ve started doing them for rooms in our little cottage in rural Australia – my latest for our master bedroom I blogged here:

    P.S. Eleanor – too cute and growing too fast!

  • I’m really liking the bedspread!

  • I’ve been searching for a rug just like this for a year. Thanks!

  • Redlilocks

    I have never ever liked the colour coral – I think it just seemed too wishy-washy, neither orange nor pink. But I adore it in this combination, it’s gorgeous! Love this one!!! I so wished that bedding shipped to the UK… *sigh*

  • Kathy

    I have been eyeing the blue version of that rug, and when I saw it on here today, that sealed the deal! This coupon gave me $50 off too (since I ordered the 8 x 11′): G9KMENT – what a deal! Thanks for the inspiration!

  • I adore this series…I’m jealous I didn’t think of it first! :)

  • I guess I never got around to the question! haha :)

    The question is, how can I hang up the panel without damaging the door?

    • A

      You can hang thin hooks over the door, or maybe use these wire Command hooks, and then use a thin rod to go across. In fact, you may want to pick up a set of café curtain rods to use for parts – they’re only about $5 at the Big-Box stores.

  • How pretty! That rug is just divine.

    Question: I’d like to hang a panel from our patio door like you did in your stairway. However, I’ve never hung cafe rods before. We rent, so screwing them directly into the door isn’t an option for us.

  • i could totally pull this off in my bed room..thanks for the inspiration! :)

  • I love this series, esp this version BECAUSE of the challenging green couch. It is a great piece and shows how masculine furniture can be more feminine and vice versa, great for couples decorating or ANYONE for that matter!

  • I love the pop of color with the peachy, pink rug!

  • i love this making it yours series so far.

    i’ve been reading your blog for a while now, and i have to confess: i hate pink. :-) but i love how completely and totally YOU your house is: that’s what a home should be! thanks for the great ideas and inspiration: i always look forward to your posts.

  • I love this one!!!

  • Sarah S

    This is so, so lovely. Is it naptime yet?
