BARE WALLED BEDROOMS – SIMPLY SERENE SLEEPING!

I am in vacation recovery mode (VRM). I am trying to be interested in everything here in Los Angeles…but I really don’t care. I just want to be back on the beach of Los Cabos. Yesterday I went to a fab book signing for the amazing interior designer Mary McDonald. It was being held at Nathan Turner’s darling shop in West Hollywood. I didn’t care. Yesterday at work, we had a big deal close, I didn’t care. Drink plans were canceled on me, I didn’t care. I just care about Los Cabos, Las Ventanas and my spot by the pool. Maybe I should call it Postpartum Vacation Syndrome (PPVS).

Oh and on top of all my VRM and PPVS, I haven’t been able to get a good night’s sleep since being back all of one day. I was up until 4am watching Training Day with Ethan Hawke and Denzel Washington the other night on HBO. Basically it is the story about a guy going to his first day of work with a really mean boss…I normally would not watch a movie like this but I was enthralled…part of VRM and PPVS I guess.

So I need sleep. I need to be back on vacation. Most realistically attainable will be sleep…so here are some soothing bedrooms.

All these bedrooms have pretty much bare walls…still they are lovely…I like the idea of keeping the bedroom simple and serene.

I like the Laura Kirar bedroom the best. I love those closets. Which do you prefer?

Happy Friday!

I am off to work.

    I have to agree that it would be very difficult to work when the beach is calling! VRM can be very difficult to overcome! Good luck and have a great weekend!

    I like the Laura Kirar room the best. Well accessorized and detailed .. simple serene describes it perfectly. The others miss the mark in achieving that emotion;
    McGill — hotel
    McMillen — staged to sell
    Cannet — feels as if the owner can’t decide what to do with the fireplace.

    There something to be said about serene bedrooms. I love color, but clearly sleep better in a muted peaceful look!

    All such serene looking rooms- mine is so dark right now and I am longing for some bright white walls to liven it up! Sorry to hear about the post vaca trouble- always hard to get back into the swing of things. Enjoy your weekend- have some champagne- that will cheer you up:)

    Beautiful rooms! That Mary McDonald book signing had to be a TREAT! Her new book is fabulous! So sorry you weren’t that into it! I would have gladly taken your spot!

Before you start moving furniture, ask yourself thBefore you start moving furniture, ask yourself these three questions:
Does this improve the room’s function?
Does it create a better focal point?
Does it make the space easier to walk through?
If the answer is “no” to all three, maybe it’s just the rearranging itch talking. 😅
Save this for the next time you’re tempted to move every piece of furniture in your house.
Watch to the end to weigh in. Clogs or no clogs? TWatch to the end to weigh in. Clogs or no clogs? They are on sale...not sure.
Summer sale season is here, and we are not holding back. 👏
This is the time of year to finally grab those pieces you’ve been eyeing all season. The good news? Major markdowns are happening right now across some of the best brands.
Our tip: Shop with intention. Know your palette, know your fit, and choose pieces that work with what you already own, not just because they’re on sale.
We’ve already done the hard work and created a Summer Sale Shopping Board filled with our favorite finds. A Shopping Board is like your own storefront. It’s a curated collection of products you can shop yourself or share with others to earn when they purchase through your links.
✨ Want to make it yours?
Comment SALE and we’ll send you the link. Then just tap “Add This Board” to save it to your Chirpyest account.
Or grab the link here 👉 https://www.chirpyest.com/s/cocoedit/summer-sale-2026/2071?mode=share
From there, you can shop the collection, share it with your audience, earn from your recommendations, and get cashback on your own purchases. 💛

A 90s home in Amman, Jordan, entirely remodelled by local artisans. Neo-Florentine bones, Levant-eclectic sensibility, arched passageways, and a flea-market-meets-commissioned-art collection that makes every wall feel intentional.

This is what happens when a home is built by people who actually know the place. 🖤
Save this, it’s a masterclass in culturally rooted design.

If you only have 10 minutes, focus on these three things:
1. Make the bed. It instantly makes the whole room look cleaner.
2. Fold or straighten the throw blanket and pillows.
3. Clear visible clutter from nightstands and the floor.
That’s it. Those three steps make the biggest visual impact without deep cleaning.
Save this for the next time you need a fast bedroom reset. 🔖

Black is not a bold choice. It’s a neutral, and one of the most versatile ones in design.
The rooms that get it right treat black the same way others treat white or greige: as a foundation that lets everything else breathe. The texture of the wall. The warmth of the wood. The drama of the marble. Black doesn’t compete, it amplifies.
Save this the next time someone talks you out of going dark. 🖤
