Annie, the walls are still just primed. I'm doing this one in the right order! I think velvet is the best choice, a little sheen to meet the embroidery thread's challenge, a little lux, but plenty of thick 100% cotton to make me feel comfortable and relaxed. Blue, pimento olive and moss all look good in velvet, don't you think? So should I try to find blue drapes as accent and paint the walls some kind of yellow for continuity with the rest of the house? Or should I stick with the lower contrast formula that a yellowed or grayed green would offer. The whole house is pretty shaded, fwiw.

we have not attached it yet--- we need to look at the bed frame to see if its able to attach -otherwise we will get the appropriate frame- DH does not want to attach to wall-- its pretty sturdy even though its not attached.... HTN-- i hear you about transitional-- i kind of felt like i was liking that style but yes the rest of our house is traditional-- i'm keeping the headboard- so i'll see what else i come up with... I also think the bed needs an ivory throw blanket and a nice bench (thats lighter by the foot of the bed)... to be continued

What about this desk--Do you like this-- i would also order the cream/brown dresser. I can get this desk in the exact finish as these end tables-- same color.... would this work? Would can I put on the desk to make it fun- ie books/ a mirror so my mom can do her makeup- flowers?? The long wall where the desk would go-- what goes above it? Also I found amazing fabric today for my panels- its the perfect shade of bluish that is cotton basketweave- I cant wait to have them made- I will show you when they are done. We will do 4 panels- one on each of the outside windows in the bay and two on the large inside-floor length! And I'm having 2 euro pillows made with the same fabric to replace the brown pillows-- add more color on the bed...

sorry, didn't read all, but I would just move the bed over a foot!!! it would drive me crazy to have it a foot (18"??) off the wall for a foot of view! the left sided person would still enjoy it and the r side would just have to scooch over to see it-- wake up, love it and hop out of bed to the window seat to better enjoy it!! if I was staying in the room, I would probably take the liberty and move the bed over so that it sat fully on the wall myself! I would leave the brass alone, tho would be pretty shined up too! either looks good! love everything else!! what an awesome guest room!!!!!
