I love the bedrooms in this blog. I am working on my small master and am looking for inspiration for the finishing touches.

Hey Kristin,

It’s all personal preference, and especially if you and your husband don’t see eye to eye it’s about finding a compromise that feels right to everyone. Feel free to experiment. Try something and if it doesn’t work or feel “right” then just change it up. There’s no perfect formula unfortunately!

Oh, and places like Target or Michael’s often have vase filler, but if you have no luck there you could always try eBay!

just wondering how you decide if you have enough accessories? I don’t want to hang something on every wall or clutter every table (If my husband had his way all of our walls and tables would be bare)but I don’t want to walk into a room and feel like something’s missing either. Also, I love the cork for vase fillers and seashells…is there someplace to buy that stuff…I don’t see any beach/wine vacays in the near future for us!

Hey Jemma,

We got the nursery fan from Target (although they no longer seem to sell it, try Amazon- it’s called the Deco Breeze). As for the bedroom one, that’s also just a Hunter fan from Target. Hope it helps!

Youngsters – I am dying to know where you guys got the metal fan in your bedroom, and I know you also have a gorgeous retro look turquoise one in the nursery. Where can these be found?

I’m just here to gently poke you for quoting Woody Allen’s infamous Soon-Yi statement in your title! Hs! (I’m sure it says something about me that I recognized it, however.)

I like a lot of the things you guys like. Lots of whites, neutrals, soft blues and greens; natural materials; beach-inspired items; glass lamps; old worn out things. But instead of graphic bedding, I like an all white bed, or a bed decked out in neutrals, and I like patterned curtains, but I also like the simplicity of plain white curtains. Some of the words I would use to describe my decorating style would be casual, cozy, soft, light, country, cottage, beachy, feminine, vintage, farmhouse. I like my home to say “come in, kick your shoes off, and make yourself comfortable”. Your house definitely feels that way to me. I think I could come over to your home and be able to relax and make myself at home. I love your style! :)

Hey Jennifer F,

They’re from the sadly departed Linens N Things, but perhaps you can find something similar on ebay (or even on overstock.com or walmart.com which also has plenty of affordable options)? We actually made up an entire room by room source list, so in the future if you’re wondering where we snagged something in our house you can look it up by clicking the House Tour link under the header and then clicking the first link on that page that says “room by room source list.” Hope it helps!

Where did you find all your glass lamps? I love the idea of having a glass lamp that you can fill with various seasonal items, but the only ones I’ve found are from PB and are super expensive. Thanks!

Hey April,

They’re actually paperwhites. Check out this post all about them (with a link at the end with an updated pic): http://www.younghouselove.com/2008/11/the-perfect-gift-on-the-rocks/
