Archives: Making It Yours
Making it Yours (MIY) is a series in which I design several rooms around a single piece of furniture.
MiY 4: Making the Bed(room)
I’m working on my fourth edition of Making it Yours! This one will be a little different; instead of following one piece of furniture through five different rooms, we’ll be following four pieces of bedroom furniture through five different looks.

MiY 3b: Bedroom
[…] The rug has moved into the bedroom now, and the room is much more calm than the rest of the apartment. There is still a touch of pink in the sheets, but just barely.
