Well we are fast approaching Archer’s first birthday so I figured it was time to remove the bassinet (sniffle sniffle). I am still in search of the perfect bench or stools for the base of the bed to fill the void in my heart room from where the cradle was, but I’ve added a couple new additions, of the accessory kind, like these loomgoods pillows and this blanket that I am obsessed with (it’s from Anthro but I am sorry to say it is sold out).

Anywayyyy, the real reason for this post is to share that in honor of hitting 100,000 followers on Instagram, I am giving away a free bedroom E-design! Despite the negativity around social media, I have found instagram to still be a wonderful source of inspiration, community, and a beautiful lifeline to the outside world while being a (sometimes) hermit who often works alone. Some of my best “in real life” friendships have come out of initially connecting through Instagram, true story!

So what does an E-design entail you might ask, well it is me designing your space remotely. I send you a questionnaire and get down to the nitty gritty of your style and you send me pictures and measurements of the room, we chat, you tell me your hopes and dreams (for the space, that is) then I do the space planning, and furniture and accessory selections.  Your takeaway is a floorplan outlining the new layout, a final design board (something like this) and links to find/purchase each item prescribed.

To enter just… 1. Instagram the top photo from this post (or find it in my IG feed to regram) or post an image of a dream bedroom, or your own bedroom.
2. Tag me in the caption @sarahshermansamuel and feel free to tell me why you need a room makeover
3. Hashtag it with #sarahdesignmyroom #contest

That’s it! see you over on Instagram x
