Now that I’ve been in our new house for over a month, you’re probably wondering when you’re going to start seeing progress pictures.
I’ve decided to take the decorating process slow. I don’t want to rush it. I have a tendency to rush, when it comes to decorating and in life. But, I’m learning that it’s not always about hurrying and getting to the finish line, sometimes it’s more about the process of getting there. Wouldn’t you agree?
So, I’m taking my time. Taking my time to sit with things and decide whether it’s something I really love. If not, it doesn’t stay.
Today, I’ll show you where I started in my bedroom.
I’ve put my new bedding on my bed and bought a linen rectangular pillow for the front. I was actually on the hunt for a grain sack pillow to use as a decorative pillow instead. I never found one that was the right size or in my price range. {In case you didn’t know, grain sack is expensive!}
And I’m still contemplating whether I need to add any additional decorative pillows. I might eventually, but for now, I’m liking the simplicity of less is more.
I’ve added a new lamp to the night stand.
I bought this ‘Amazing Grace’ wooden sign back in December at Christmas Village. It’s currently sitting above my closet doors.
I’ve also propped up an old antique door on the wall next to my bed. I’ve been dying to use an old door in decorating and absolutely love this little beauty I found.
Since I took these pictures, I’ve worked on a few projects and things are starting to come together. I really do love how it’s coming along. The room really feels like ‘me’ which is exciting!
Once everything is finished, I’ll do the big reveal and do a run down of where everything came from. But in the meantime, I’m going to continue savoring the process.
What about you? What is your decorating process like? Are you fast or do you take your time? Fire away in the comments!

A few colors went thru my head, but I keep thinking a softer shade of yellow would do it without pulling anything away from the rest. In other words, would make for a “blend” instead of a “pop”.
Oo yea yellow might be a good color to throw into the mix. Thanks Teri! Hoping I can find the perfect pillows with the right color combination to make it all come together
