How to Make Your Bedroom an Oasis

Every since I was a little girl, my bedroom acted as my sanctuary. I would always go there for time away, whenever I needed space. Im not sure if it was due to habit but i'm still the same way today. I love my bedroom! Something about the art of crafting a perfect bedroom is always so much fun for me. I love being able to create a place that speaks to the inhibitor but also acts as their haven. When creating a bedroom there are a couple of important aspects to keep in check to make sure you are achieving the most relaxing experience for your self. 

Friday's Favs: Wall Treatment

It's finally Friday people!! 

For todays favorites I am going to be talking about the different trending wall treatments. Many people think of their walls as a blank canvas, but with all these new wall treatments they can be less blank and more of an artistic expression that works as the backdrop to the rest of the room. No matter what you call home whether you own or rent there is a wall treatment that works for you. 

Venetian Plaster: 

If you like the look of  Old Hollywood Glamour look then this is the wall treatment for you. The plaster produces more of a layered look, that creates a sense of depth in any room. My personal favorite is when its done in black! I mean look at how modestly beautiful it is in the first image.

The Perfect Paint

Looking to repaint an old piece of furniture but having trouble deciding on what kind of paint you want to use? Why not try an eco-friendly, acrylic free chalk-based paint. I have been working with it lately to make handcrafted furniture and it’s amazing. The American Paint Company ( americanpaintcompany.com ) paint is made purely of clay and chalk and is a mineral based paint that does wonders on old wood furniture. No priming or sanding necessary, just pick a color or a few colors and go for it. There is endless possibilities while using this kind of paint, since it is chalk based, it is easily rubbed off with water before the final wax coat is applied. This leaves room for our unavoidable mistakes while trying to repaint those small crevasses in the design of the old wood furniture piece. No one is perfect, that’s why the ability to wash away mistakes with a damp paper towel is a plus!
