Gonna Make You BEG for Beige, REALLY.

If beige were a person, we’d have to start a campaign to save it… ’cause the name calling it has endured over the years hasn’t been so great.  Take the “Builder Beige” title.  I mean, really, how mean is that? What did beige ever do to deserve such nasty verbal abuse?  It’s not like it volunteered to be slapped up in every house across America for years.  Just think of all the merciless slander this poor color has had to endure!

And as if that were not enough, more people have continued to use beige as some sort of description for someone who is not only boring, but just plain bored themselves.

When I read this, I shuttered at the injustice:

 “The decor was attractive and strong, but blander than she would have thought his wealth and position afforded him. Caren couldn’t see the point of having that much money if all of it led to beige.”  Author: Attica Locke, excerpt from “The Cutting Season”

How rude.  I am here to come to beige’s defense and show you it’s softer side… it’s beauty, and by the end of this post, I can almost guarantee that you will be begging for beige…

We didn’t have a big budget, so here’s how we crea We didn’t have a big budget, so here’s how we created this stunning bedroom for our son Parker!! 

Comment SHOP and I’ll send you the budget friendly links! 👏🏽 

Guys! I genuinely believe that creating a beautiful and magical space doesn’t have to break the bank! A few key budget friendly purchases and styling hacks can completely transform a space! From Amazon to Target to flea markets and Wayfair, we brought together a space that our son, Parker, will love! Don’t forget that clipping greenery from your own bushes and diy’ing your own art are just a couple ways you can create for free! XxV
