The American bedroom is pretty, crisp and clean feeling while the English bedroom is cozy but a bit to eclectic for me. If the walls where a lighter shade of gray or a more brown hued light tone I think I would like it for my home. I'd take the cozy one but with a few changes. First off, that red blanket would have to go! :) Great post.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Shanna<br /><br />www.revampedfrenchmaison.comNo namehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10271263985764088812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5914944137112141462.post-70290059260219728752011-11-22T12:39:54.692+00:002011-11-22T12:39:54.692+00:00I am torn ..I do love the plush carpet in the Amer...I am torn ..I do love the plush carpet in the American bedroom and the headboard/pillows add more warmth and comfort whereas I am a fireplace girl so really quite torn.

Now, I love the cottage bedroom as I'm not afraid of some kitch... But I draw the line at the standing plate on the dresser...
