I love white walls in the right room but with a white bed in here they just felt … boring. I tried adding picture frame molding and painting the trim a slight contrast color and I tried to convince myself it was fine so I didn’t have to paint again… but really it was just a little less boring. So, I went back to to paint store. .

Final answer for the bedroom paint color: Benjamin

Final answer for the bedroom paint color: Benjamin Moore Knoxville Gray. I went back and forth about color drenching the room but it’s so big I wanted to break up the wall a bit, so I went with a warm neutral, Sherwin Williams Canvas Tan, instead. A white trim would have been way too stark against such a dark color.

Our new bed arrived yesterday, and there are a few final details coming next week and this bedroom refresh will be complete!

Which do we like? The first photo is the current situation in our bedroom (a mockup with the new bed which hasn’t come yet) I had originally planned to do a camel velvet bed in here, with white walls and the beige trim, but long story short, the bed order was canceled by company and we ended up with white. So now it’s just a lot of white. So is the answer 1, 2, or 3?

I’ve been looking for new nightstands for like 3

I’ve been looking for new nightstands for like 3 months and was about to buy a pair for $700 when I found a matching set with lots of potential at the Goodwill! They were in good shape but a little orange for my liking. So I stripped them, only to find out that they were made of multiple different wood types and they took stain differently. So, I ended up using multiple stains ( Jacobean, American Walnut, Espresso) to get an even-ish look. I cleaned and rub-n-buffed the hardware and saved myself enough money to justify a splurgey purchase that’s arriving in a few weeks!

Here’s the full prompt I used to help me figure

Here’s the full prompt I used to help me figure out how to create a plate wall for this space. I ended up making some changes to the final arrangement but this was super helpful in picturing how it would look and deciding which plates to use!

I want to create a beautiful, balanced plate wall using plates I already own. I’ll upload photos of the wall or room, plus photos of the plates. Design a layout that works with the architecture of the space, rather than forcing a standard grid.
Consider the shape of the wall, windows, doors, furniture, light fixtures, trim, ceiling height, and any existing art or decor. Use the plates’ actual colors, sizes, shapes, and patterns when deciding placement. Create a layout that feels collected, fluid, and intentional — not overly symmetrical or random.
Tell me:
Which plates to use and which to leave out
Where each plate should go
How much spacing to leave between plates
Which plates should act as anchors
How to balance color, scale, and pattern across the wall
Any pieces that feel visually off or too busy
The goal is a plate wall that looks layered, cohesive, and designer-level, using what I already have.

One final clean living room tour before summer break starts next week and this space gets covered in granola bar wrappers and nerf bullets. Until fall, my friend.
