All this grown-up, disposable-income, buying-real-furniture recently has me thinking. What if I could go back in time and give 16 year-old Helena free reign (and an unlimited budget) to design her ideal bedroom?
What was I like back then? The whole “Shabby Chic” line at Target was invented for me. Frank Bielec was my favorite designer on Trading Spaces. I lived the L.L. Bean catalog. I was country cottage to the core. I was quilts and florals, wrought iron and distressed paint.
My dream bedroom would have looked like this:
It’s interesting to me to consider how my style has changed over the years. For one thing, florals would only appear in small doses – a large pattern on a rug or accent pillow. I’m pretty much over skirted furniture at this point. While I still have a special place in my heart for plaid and wrought iron, I now gravitate towards things that are a little more gender-neutral. I’m sure Will appreciates this.

The first set of sheets I bought myself for my first bed and first apartment were shabby chic 🙂
My teenage bedroom was plastered in posters — mostly from Teen beat and the like, everyone from Jonathan Taylor Thomas to Boyz II Men (who held a special place above my bed). Honestly, I don’t know what furniture I would have lusted after then — maybe a canopy bed because it seemed romantic and girly.

Canopy bed! Fantastic!
