Green White Bedroom numbered1

There’s something about spring that draws me to spaces that look light, bright, and tidy.  Take this bedroom that I found at Georgiana Design:  white walls and linens really give this room a fresh, clean appeal.  The pops of green add fun color without overwhelming the space or interfering with the overall sense of calm.  It looks like a wonderful place to unwind at the end of the day.

Things I really like about this room are the color scheme, accessories that are functional without being cluttery, the simple window dressing, and that horizontal paneling.  The combination of white, black, and spring green is untypical but still manages to convey a cottage garden vibe–like moss on an chippy white iron gate.  The artwork has an organic feel that goes great with the natural color scheme.  The paneling completes the feeling of sleeping in a vintage, gabled space.  It’s really lovely.

Once again, I’ve taken on the challenge to find 5 DIY projects that could be used to recreate a similar look.  Take a look:

A similar look to the paneling in my inspiration picture could be achieved by installing beaded board horizontally.  This Life, Designed has a tutorial.

2.  DIY Botanic Prints

Botanic prints are lovely (and perfect for this room!) but can be pricey if you buy them retail.  It’s possible to make your own, though, like these at A Soft Place.

3.  No-Sew Bubble Shades

You can make simple window coverings like these bubble shades without sewing a single stitch!  Find out how at In My Own Style.  Use fabric adhesive to glue on contrasting trim like the shade in my inspiration photo.

4.  Easy-to-Make Seat Cushion

5.  Black Bed

  1. Gorgeous! Our guest bedroom is black and white- I painted the bed frame and dresser black years ago! The wonderful shade of green is perfect! Thanks for the inspiration!

  2. This room is so fresh and lovely! Gives me inspiration on how to handle my bedroom when I move if I end up in a place with “no painting” rules. Hopefully, that won’t be the case. But even if I can paint, I could go with a linen color to achieve the same effect. Thanks for sharing! 🙂

  3. This is a great room, Beckie! I actually love that color combination and I am on the threshold of making some changes to my bedroom. I think I know what direction I’m heading in!
