    Great post! Each one is just so beautiful…I kept reading and saying, “I love that! No, I love THAT…”. I think my favorites are the perfectly chippy aqua shutters as a headboard. Thank you for sharing!

    Just wanted to give you the heads up that the wall you credited to Country Living (as they did a feature on it) is actually the work of oliveandlove.com. It’s so gorgeous and I just want her to get proper credit! Love this round-up!
