Real Comfort

{my inspiration}

When I was at my parents house I finally had time to decorate their middle bedroom. I have been collecting pieces here and there from some {adorable} shops around town... I also picked up some pieces from the Quaint Marketplace.

I have been thinking long and hard on what I wanted to do in this room. The first room I decorated the walls were yellow, had great lighting, bay window...so I made it a little cottage get-away for guests. This room I was working on we painted khaki.. So, I wanted it to be warm and inviting for this sweet lady my mom takes care of {She has Alzheimer's and she has been a part of our family since the late 90's}. I arranged the furniture in the room first. Then I got to do the fun part...Decorate!

Here is a glimpse of the room before:

The room is decorated:
