Soft Surroundings
Happy Thursday, lovelies! Hope you are all enjoying the week so far. Good news, tomorrow's Friday and I couldn't be happier. It's going to be perfect here this weekend. Cool, crisp sunny days with temperatures in the 60s finally. I'm really looking forward to a true fall weekend.
Ok, enough of getting ahead of myself. It's only Thursday so I'll focus on today. And what's really striking my fancy today is this soft, muted, dusty palette of pinks, greens, greys and cream. It's so dreamy, romantic and utterly feminine.
I've always stuck to this palette for my bedroom because it's so cozy and inviting but I'm going to be doing my living room over soon and I'm starting to think about working within this palette for that space as well. Right now my living room is dark...deep burgundys, dark wood and camel. But I'm thinking this would make a really nice, refreshing change. What do you think?

Love the pinks....especially for a sitting room. Gorgeous images, xv.
That dusty pink is BEAUTIFUL! LOVE that palette, the whole room is gorgeous - but if I could do my eyes the way the model has them in the first image, life would be just perfect!! xx
I am loving that low hanging chandelier in the bedroom-beautiful! If I am going to change a room then I always want it to look like it's changed... a completely different look would be fun! xo
Beautiful pics - I love those colors too :) Loving reading your blog!
The first picture is beautiful! Happy Thursday!
Absolutely amazing!
And crossing my fingers for nice weather here in Oslo as well this weekend :)
I love it. I can definitely see this palette in a bedroom...very romantic and cozy.

I'm so so excited for the weekend too! Your gorgeous photos made me sigh (as they do) and want to relax into a beautiful room of soft colours. :) Hope your Thu is going really well!
That sounds like a good plan! You should definitely do it!
I think this is a great idea. In the end living in light colours is easier, and the combination sounds wonderful and interesting. Go for it, Dawn! xo

Beautiful pictures, have a great weekend!
I think it would be just gorgeous. Go for it!
I think it would be beautiful! change is always good.
I love these pictures but the idea of deep burgundies and camel sound amazing! Maybe I'm in "Fall mode". haha. I'm definitely in "almost friday" mode. Cannot wait for the weekend!

That sweater looks so comfy and chic!
Gorgeous, is that an Olsen? I think you should, I always have to change colors up after a few years, I go dark, then I go light. The main thing is, share pictures! XX!
Just saved that living room photo for future inspiration. Love your blog, I'm now a follower.
all the colors in my house are pretty deep colors as well - but i wear A LOT of light neutral colors .. i think it's ALWAYS good to change it up - i get sick of things easily .. HEY i just realized, it's why i don't wanna get married - hahahaha ..
*kiss kiss*

I am really drawn to a soft palette like this too, and I think it would be beautiful for a living room! Look forward to seeing what you come up with.
I'm thinking I agree with you...I could totally see you standing in the doorway of that last picture. It's all you!!

Hi sweetie! What a gorgeous, soothing palette, I think it would be ideal for your living room space! Very cozy and great for year round versatility! Sending you a hug, yippee, almost Friday, this week has been killer! xoxox Trishy
The light colors are lovely! Go for it!
great palette for the bedroom but i'd advise you to add a bit of intensity to the palette for the living room so the house doesn't look washed out... have a nice one!
Its just perfect, so soft and comforting.
