We’re in full-on nesting mode here at Casa de Pepper, and now that I’m outnumbered by dudes (little brother moved in to our new place with us last weekend!), I’m paying more attention to making our apartment a good blend of masculine classics softened with quirky feminine details.

After stumbling across some gorgeous images over here, it occurred to me that being drawn to such a variety of styles can make finding the perfect balance a little bit tricky… Can you relate?

I could honestly go either way on the decor of the two lovely bedrooms below, but it seems like there must be a way that I can find a sweet spot right in between.

I’ll keep you posted on how things come together, and until then – would love to hear your ideas on mixing up a look that is equal parts bold and beautiful!

Ps. – Which of these rooms could you see most in your own home?
