I like your bedroom way better in that magazine photo shoot. Leave it there and just style it a bit. Do a post where you show us your bedroom in the current paint with a few touches and call it finished.

Totally get this on all counts. I am a jump right in, no plans, just do it kind of girl too (that is why I now have a whole wardrobe of painting clothes.) But if it is a project that will be really expensive or can’t be changed once it is done it is hard for me to commit. These are the times I find it best to just let it go for a while and start thinking about something else, that is usually when inspiration hits me. Your inspiration will come and the Nugget will be beautiful ( love your color inspiration by the way) all in good time.

That image from Inaluxe has been the wallpaper on my cell phone and iPad for over a year! Love it.

In my grad architecture design studio, we ask our peers to come listen to us while we talk through a problem. 99% of the time the listener doesn’t offer a solution because the talker just needs a sounding board and is able to work through it verbally. I get you.

Really love the navy wicker against the white wall. I felt disloyal somehow not liking the other version. As far as creating a huge sensation with your Nugget makeover – just do what you and your family would love. That in itself will be beautiful.

Mandi, I admire your fearlessness and the support you give yourself when you change your mind because a room just doesn’t feel right. And I love the (apparent, because it looks easy, but we all know it’s not…) simplicity of the now blue headboard and white wall. (That headboard is so great!) Seems like my house gets full up of all the ideas in my head and I have a hard time simplifying [the ideas] because I want to use them all! Thanks for sharing – Somehow I feel less stuck, too…at least, ready to try again! 🙂

Hi,
We all feel the loss of creativity sometimes.
I find if I switch things up: move furniture, get a haircut, learn something new, sit in a hammock and watch clouds for a while, the “pressure” to be creative disapiates and the ideas begin to flow.
Sometimes you’re in a season of non-productivity so you can re-wire, re-work and start off in a new direction.
Relax.
We don’t love you any less because you don’t have a shiny new something everyday.
Creative ideas do not grow on trees.
Ask anybody who’s ever posted something awesome on a blog or Pinterest. Ideas take time to percolate and sometimes that “aha” comes from an apple falling on your head when you’re sitting under a tree.

Love, love, love the wicker headboard painted dark against the white walls. I want it!

Seriously? Mandi, You are “on” so much it’s a wonder you don’t flame out. Everyone has moments of doubt but then you pile on the sheer multitude of stuff you have going on and add to that the glaring public eye… If it isn’t working for ya turn away for awhile and come back with a fresh perspective. Or throw out a question to your fans. I can guarantee everyone here would love to lend a hand. It’s all good, girl, take a load of that pressure of of yourself and free up your brain. P.S. We all love your honesty and let it all hang out attitude. Makes you real. When bloggers get too “look at all my perfect life and amazing abilities” I am out. My life is great but not perfect and I don’t need somebody’s perfect pie shoved in my face to make me feel even worse about things that aren’t going right. Just sayin’ you got it right.
