A Bedroom Moodboard/Wish List

I’ve been collating my ideas for my bedroom design. If you remember I wrote about wanting to have a bedroom that was very scandinavian in its style. You can read that post here.

Feature wall 

 

I am very keen on having a feature wall behind the bed and I’m love with the Farrow and Ball colour Brassica which you can see above (middle). This is what would tie the whole scheme together. I love the Brassica colour because I think it will appeal to both Mr C and I as it has a feminine feel with a masculine edge. It will also give the room a sophisticated feel whilst adding some warmth to the design.

 

Rocking Chair from Wayfair (top left)

 

I love this modern rocking chair and think it will complement the feature wall brilliantly. It will also be nice to have somewhere to read my book before bed. I will have to wait though as it is out of stock at the moment.

 

Faux Sheepskin Hide Rug £24.50 from BHS (top middle)

 

This will be the perfect compliment to the chair, giving the chair a more luxurious feel and adding textures to the room to make it feel more cosy. The grey also works really well with the feature wall.

 

Heart Art Work – Beat that my heart skipped £65 Not on the High Street (top right)

 

This will look perfect on the feature wall adding romance to the bedroom and bringing in the monochrome feel that I also like.

 

Duvet Set – Cotton and Co Davenport Taupe Bedding Set from BHS (bottom right) 

 

This 100% cotton bedset will bring real luxury to the bedroom.  This will gorgeous to sleep on. It is out of stock so I will be keeping my eyes peeled for when it is back in stock.

 

Dark Grey Waffle Fleece throw £20 from BHS (bottom left)

 

This will look lovely over the end of the bed and the colour ties in beautifully with the feature wall. The throw is lovely and soft and will be lovely to snuggle under if I want to read a book before I go to bed. Also I will be able to use it if I want to sit outside on our balcony. I will be able to wrap it round my shoulders whilst I enjoy a cuppa under the stars.

What do you think of my bedroom wish list? The stuff of dreams?

 

 

  2. What a fantastic choice of items! The Farrow & Ball colour is gorgeous, it’s definitely a shade that would appeal to male and females. I’m a big fan of BHS and we’ve purchased a few of our interior items from there (great prices) and I love the rug you’ve chosen.

    Looking forward to seeing the final result.

    Thanks for linking up with the February #TheWishlistLinky

  3. What a great moodboard! I love rooms with a scandanavian look and feel, they always feel so bright and airy. You’ve got some lovely pieces here, I hope you manage to get some or all of them. Would be great to see a follow up/reveal if you do get to do it 🙂 Thanks for linking up to #MarvMondays. Emily

  4. Oh this is a gorgeous list I love soft greys 🙂 Our bedroom is the next room on our list and I’ve already picked out some grey and silver accessories. #TheWishListLinky

  • Last week we caught the ferry to France. We are only 39 miles off the coast of France so it's a nice short crossing. However, it always feels a bit of a gamble as the ferries seem to be frequently delayed or cancelled.😱 We then drove for 4 hours to Paris. This was a slightly hairy experience. We drove through torrential rain all the way and as a result we couldn't see very much due to the rain and spray from the road. Driving through Paris was also an experience. 🤣 Thank goodness Mr C was the designated driver. When we finally arrived at Disney Land Paris the rain cleared and these two were so excited. Their faces meant that we soon forgot about the stressful car journey😍. I might have been a little bit excited too. I don't think Youngest stopped squealing with excitement for the whole weekend. That could also be down to the sugary treats she filled up on at every opportunity 😬 Healthy eating wasn't a feature of this holiday but it was a once in a lifetime thing so.... In other news - today Youngest manged to kick her foot through my candle lantern. She was practising her karate moves. Thankfully her foot was okay, my lamp wasn't. Can we go back to Disney please? 🙈 . #dlp #disneylandparis2018 #disneylandparis #disneyland #magical_shots #disneylandparis25 #disneyland
  • We have packed away our Mickey Mouse ears and we are now making our way back home. It's been a magical (but also very tiring) couple of days. The children didn't want to leave (I suspect Mr C didn't want to either) and they have been living their best life. I didn't realise what thrill seekers the girls were. They don't get it from me. The Tower of Terror lived up to its name 🤢 and I nearly lost my glasses on the Crush Coaster.🤓 On the photos I'm always the one with my head down or eyes closed 🙈. There were so many amazing moments and we are coming away with lots of lovely memories. I apologise now for all of the Disney photos I will be sharing. 😬 . . . . .#instadisney #disneyland #disneylandparis25 #disneylandparis2018 #disneylandparis #dreamsdocometrue #nofliterneeded #dlp
  • "A large drop of sun lingered on the horizon and then dripped over and was gone, and the sky was brilliant over the spot where it had gone, and a torn cloud, like a bloody rag, hung over the spot of its going. And dusk crept over the sky from the eastern horizon, and darkness crept over the land from the east." - John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath. If you watch my instastories you will know that I love a sunset.🤣 I feel very lucky that we get to enjoy such stunning views. Selling our last house was slightly stressful and I still can't believe that we did it. Also, in our last house we didn't have such beautiful views. However, I did get to see Barry scratching his balls on the balcony opposite. All. Of. The. Time. Don't be jealous. I wonder what Barry and his balls are up to now 🤔 #putthemawaybarry #theislandbreak #visitbritain #visitjersey #positive_vibes #positivequotes #literaturelover #literaryquotes #jerseyci #instapositivity #instasunset #channelislands

  • This is the face of a woman who is slightly nervous about the next 6 weeks of summer. This is the face of a child plotting all of the fun she can have! Have you seen the very cheesy quote doing the rounds? The one about cherishing the next 18 summers with your children😱🤯 I love my children but there is no way I cherish every single moment. I'm sure they feel the same and that they have days where they wish I would stop nagging them and asking them a billion questions😂. So far we are enjoying the summer and the girls have just had a brilliant week with their granny and pop-pop. Over on the blog I'm sharing why it's an end of an era and my hopes (and fears) for the summer. Link in profile. Let's do this!💪 . . . . . .#everydaymoments #candidchildhood #childhoodunplugged #mommydiaries #momentslikethese #momentsweadore #motherhoodlens #littlelivelaughlove
  • Are you looking for an easy summer read? A book that you can throw in your suitcase and take on your holibobs with you? Why Mummy Swears by Gill Sims is just the ticket. This might be a fabulously funny read but it still contains some spiky observations on a working woman's place in society and marriage. Kick back, open this book and be prepared to laugh from start to finish. Read my review to find out more. Link in profile. (Disclaimer - I was gifted this book so I could review it for the Mumsnet Book Club) . . . . . . . . .#mnbookclub #mumsnet #booklove #booknerd #booksofinstagram #bookgeek #booksbooksbooks #bookish #instareads #fiction #literaturelover #literary #goodreads #readersofinstagram #readersofig #bookblogger #bookaddict #bookaholic #booktastic #bookstagram
  • *The sober path! 101 days sober* 101 days ago I decided to give up alcohol for 100 days. Not because I considered myself to have a drinking problem but because I decided I wanted a break from it. I was worried that for the last couple of years I couldn't remember a weekend when I hadn't had wine. I was worried that the wine had become my weekend treat, my go to for when I was stressed and my go to for when I wanted to celebrate. Clever marketing makes us see wine as this magical elixir and I wanted to find out what happened when I removed it. Did I lose my sparkle?🎉 I've written a blog post that will go live later this week but in the meantime I want to share that 1) I didn't get that sparkly BOTOX shizz that everyone talks about.🙄 2) I didn't lose weight, I put it on. How is that even possible? 3) And this is the most important one - I have changed my whole thinking towards wine😎. So outwardly there is no difference but inwardly there are some changes. It's made me realise lots of things about myself and I really think that everyone should give up the ole booze for three months. You never know what you might learn and unlike me you might get the sparkly skin. 101 days sober has taught me that I can still get the party started without the wine. 🎊Cheers to that🎊. . . . #sobrietyrocks #sobrietytest #soberissexy #soberliving #100dayschallenge #sobrietyrules #clubsoda #soberlife #sobermum
  • This one turns 9 tomorrow and I'm feeling a little emosh. Where have those 9 years gone? It only seems like yesterday when we were bringing her home from the hospital and now she is 9 going on 19. Oldest who is master of the eye roll👀. Oldest who is hilarious and far too quick-witted🤣. Oldest who is caring, loyal and creative. 😍 🎉Happy Birthday🎉 Now if time could stop moving quite so quickly.🕝 . . . . . . .#happybirthday #everydaymoments #childhoodunplugged #candidchildhood #motherhoodlens #momentsweadore #mommydiaries #momentslikethese #liveauthentic #jerseyci #vsitjersey #happybirthdayoldest
