First, I am not a fan of the bedding in our bedroom. It was a compromise when we first got married, but I tired of it pretty quickly. We've never really put alot of effort into the master bedroom because there was always other things to focus on, but with this new place, I want to start over. Especially now, with an active toddler, I would like a place where I can shut the door and feel relaxed and like an adult.
Also, we'll be starting move from a nursery to a little girl's room. There are things I wanted to do to the nursery that I wasn't able to do because we rent, and I didn't want to do anything permanent. There will still be a crib in Mia's room for awhile, but she's a real climber, and we're already on the bottom rung of the crib, so probably late this fall we'll have to switch to a toddler bed.
Finally, one of the things we looked for in a house was an area that could be designated as a play area. This new house has a finished basement, half of which will be dedicated to a child's playroom.
The house we're moving in to is pretty much a blank slate. Unpainted walls, neutral colored carpet. Which pretty much gives me carte blanche to do what I want to do!
The inspirations:
Mia's room- a continuation of the garden theme we started with her nursery, but with a slightly different color palette. I don't know if we'll be going with white furniture, but we will be doing the sky blue walls, white fencing, and flowers/critters.
Basement playroom- Not really sure how this will come together yet, but I LOVE the bold colors.
Master bedroom- We actually just bought this bedding set on sale last week. The walls will be more of a gray than the blue they used here, but I like the blues and creams of the bedding against our dark bedroom furniture.

Your inspiration rooms are beautiful. I am eager to see the transformations you make in your new home in the coming weeks/months.
My bathroom is a bright celery green and when I look at it, it makes me happy. Go very bold. Colors fade and it's paint. If you don't like it, you can mute it later. I wholeheartedly agree with the need for a sanctuary in the master bedroom. Teach the kids to knock and not enter until beckoned and they'll sense that this is the sanctum sanctorum.
