Log Cabins, Ralph Lauren Red, and My 5th Grade Dream Room

When I was in 5th grade, my mom told me that it was time to redo my room and that I could pick out new bedding, wall colors, etc. Telling that to nine-year-old Aubrey was like letting me loose in a candy store with a credit card. The skies, the limits, I thought! So I started concepting my dream bedroom. 21 years later, I can remember it like it was just yesterday. This said bedroom would involve 5 things:

1) Ralph Lauren

Now when I say Ralph Lauren, picture this era of Ralph Lauren. Picture the 90’s.

2) Log-cabin-like walls

3) a red accent wall

I had no idea that painting one wall would one day be referred to as an “accent wall.” I just knew that I wanted one wall to be red, the rest to be made of logs.

4) southwestern touches (think pinch pots, Kachina dolls, serape rugs, etc.)

5) denim, plaid, and flannel

Roll all of these things together, and you get…
