One thing I enjoy looking at; whether it's in home magazines,browsing social media sites,or stores like Ikea, are Bedrooms.
As a mom, I loved decorating my children's rooms. Their rooms took on different styles as we moved and the children grew into different stages. It was fun gathering items that reflected their own personalities.
They always seemed to enjoy their
"Little Haven"
Here's A Small Tip:
It is hard to believe that it is mid October already; which means the Holidays are going to be here before you know it. In order to get a jump start on Holiday decorating, why not start with the children's bedrooms. The weekend before Thanksgiving is a great time to do this; right before the hurriedness of the season kicks in.

Fortunately for me, my children came and went in stages and not all at once; however, I knew the day would come when those bedrooms would become bare. So far two have left the nest and the third one's waiting. It is such a transition when your children become adults. I would say that it's bittersweet.

This was my daughter's room and we kept the orange (her favorite color). I re-decorated the room using some of my daughter's wedding flowers.
She enjoys coming home to visit and
staying in her old room.
This room was once a living room and since the boys needed their own rooms we turned it into a fourth bedroom.
Here's A Tip:
T.J. Maxx has the best smelling fabric spay for $4.99. I like to spray my sheets, blankets, comforters, and pillow cases while I'm making the bed. When it's time for bed that evening, the sheets smell so good.

Hillcrest sheets are by far my favorite brand of sheets and well worth the money. I wash my sheets often and this set shows no signs of wear. Very soft, cool, and cozy.
