Bijou and Boheme

I've been scouring the design blogs looking for ideas when I found a new blog that I love, Bijou and Boheme.  It all started when my son decided he wanted to be on his own and moved out a few weeks ago.  I've been a little sad since he moved out.  Actually, sometimes I really wanted him to move out.  It's that never ending struggle between dependence and independence that can wreak havoc with a parent-child relationship.  Well, anyway that's why things have been a little sporadic around here.  I guess I've been suffering a little bit from empty nest syndrome which I never thought would happen to me, but when your only child who you have raised for 18 years and has always been with you leaves, I guess one might be due for a little sadness.  Anyway, I'm doing better now and have decided to take over his space, of bedroom, bath and loft.  It's time to redecorate!  I'd like to redecorate the whole house, and that's how I happened upon this beautiful living space of Christine's.

I really like how she mixed and matched and put this space together.  Although it might take some time, I am tempted to do like she did and sell everything I have and start with a clean slate.

Enjoy!
