What color should I paint my bedroom?

So, sadly I have to move out of my adorable brownstone parlor floor studio. I'm moving in with my friend and her fiance, and they were kind enough to give me the big bedroom. I'm already trying to figure out how I want to decorate! I've already begun saving for a lovely white upholstered headboard, as I've just been sleeping on a plain old mattress for a bed the last two years. I also plan on getting a charming white secretary style desk. The only thing I'm undecided on is what needs to come first--what color should I paint the walls? I only have one window, and we're on the ground floor, so I don't get the best light. I'm also going to be doing my work in the bedroom from time to time-- so I need to keep that in mind. Do you guys have a favorite bedroom color? Should I go for cool or warm? I'm leaning towards a light greyish-blue...

calming grey-blue





bright happy blues...

Amazing Brooklyn Interiors

Brooklyn, the wonderful borough I call home, is a plethora of inspiration, personalities, cultures, and quirks. Every neighborhood has it's own style. From the edgy lofts of Williamsburg, to the charming parlor floor brownstone apartments you can witness more lifestyles than you'd ever imagine. I often walk around my neighborhood trying to catch a peek of how my neighbors have decorated their space, but peeping in windows isn't always the wisest ways to go about getting ideas.

So, I've scoured around and put together this collection of some great Brooklyn interiors, but you don't need to be a resident to use their ideas in your space!

This collection is Tom Scheerer's amazing Brooklyn townhouse. I made a post featuring his work previously, click here to see.





Sarah Beibtrus's home Brooklyn abode has a great contemporary retro style.





Old warehouses in Williamsburg make for airy lofts with an industrial edge.
