My Design Style Crisis

I been experiencing a little Design Style Crisis lately.

Has that ever happened to you?

Our new master bedroom is a huge blank canvas that I get to decorate, and I am finding myself completely frozen in what direction I want to go with it.

Y’all know that I love the look of older homes.

I love the character of old floors, old doors, beautiful trim work, and more.  All of those things I am trying to incorporate in our new addition.

We’ve got the old floors installed…

And Cy has done a beautiful job with the trim work in our room…

As I am trying to figure out how to decorate our room, I am realizing that I want our house to feel old, but for our décor to feel current. 

Not sure how I’m going to do this.

I am trying to use the same furniture from the master bedroom in our previous home, but I’m not really “feeling” it in our new master bedroom.

I don’t want as much “black” in my master bedroom this time.  I’m wondering if I could keep my bed black, but paint the dresser a different color?  Maybe I paint the bed grey?  Maybe I get rid of the bed and use something else?

I want my bedroom to be neutral, but I also would love a punch of color in the room.

Although I absolutely love this type of look…

I am also very drawn to this more casual type of look…

And this style of room makes me happy too!

Those are three completely different looks, but I love them all.

Thus, my crisis.

UGH!

Do you ever feel like your design style changes daily?

What should I do to solve this problem?
