Okay, my inspiration image is no surprise to me....

Rachel Ashwell of course...
I love the layering of whites
with the additional soft impact of blue
and of course my rug will bring in a nice touch of colour on the floor.....
but do I go with creamy white walls?
When I first attempted to decorate our bedroom I got stuck on the wall colour....
So....here we go with what I have in this room already...
what I have bought
and what I think needs to stay....

Antique dresser, very heavy drawers though
and possibly impractical but I love the style!!
I have two of these lamps, lovely pink-y colour glass base with a velour shade
but
they seem small in this room with these high ceilings ....
I am thinking I could go big
find something that gives a good
sense of drama to the space....

Nice space and furnishings. I love the white antique dresser - keep. The 2 new end tables are sweet and bring out the darker colour of your new rug but they'd be pretty in creamy white. Oh my, a lot of decisions. Can the dark ceiling be painted? I know it's a big job. If not, I think I'd paint the walls a soft green from the rug. Then go with creamy linens. I'm not a decorator and that is just my very humble opinion :-) I hope someone else can help you. Have fun deciding and I can't wait to see the compelted makover.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pamela....I love the idea of soft green walls! and...creamy linens!!!
ReplyDeleteI love that rug!
ReplyDeletethanks Areneelamb! It should arrive within the week so I am excited to see it. I have already won on a few bids with this group on ebay and they have never disappointed me so I am not worried. I am excited to see the colours though....

I love that bedding and in fact I have it. Thanks for sharing with my newbie party.
ReplyDeleteOhhh...lucky you. I have to go check that out! Thanks Debbie for the great party!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have a great start in your bedroom. It looks like there is a gray or taupe of some kind in the rug. I would go with that for the walls. What are you doing for a headboard? The side tables would be beautiful in a white or silver. I would keep the vintage dresser but would paint it the soft blue that you love or pick up the mustard color in the rug. This would make it a real stand out accent piece. I like the lamps but not for this room. If you go with the white on the nightstands, some silver paint on a couple of taller lamps would really be glamorous. Just my two cents. :) Can't wait to see how it turns out.
ReplyDeleteOkay Tanya...you are hired! :) Love it when I get advice!
ReplyDeleteSo, the headboard is up in the air. I have been thinking of a upholstered headboard but am in love with an iron head
Me too...cannot wait until it arrives!
ReplyDeleteI see you have both gold and silver in the inspiration picture, so can you use both? I recently did a side table in silver if you want to see how it came out, it's here: http://www.outofours.com/2011/04/silver-end.html
ReplyDeleteThe inspiration photo is really lovely. I love the look of curtains that are just a little too long. Good luck with it all.
