Thank you all so much for your ideas which I plan to use. I actually had taken my winter decorations off my mantle before the picture was taken which did help the monotones of the mantle and clock. For some reason my husband is partial to the clock but I do hope to replace it. I think something unframed may be a good option.I also plan to put a picture between the two windows as soon as I find something I like.Will post some pics of my mantle to get some feedback.. Kismet08-As soon as I take a few pics of the bathroom, I will post them on the decorating site. Thank you for the compliment.

Is the sham you washed the same fabric as the blanket? If not, you can't necessarily expect the same results from the blanket. Wool tends to shrink (felt) when it gets wet, hot, and agitated. It will shrink least in cold water, washed gently, maybe even hand washed. If the blanket is already felted it probably won't shrink as much as if it's not felted. I think because of the wool, it's a gamble. But if you can use cold water and your gentle cycle is truly gentle, and the blanket isn't too expensive, it might be worth the risk. HOWEVER... I don't know anything about how mohair behaves. Maybe someone else here does? Or maybe you can find out by doing a search? I would probably try to find out before I took that gamble. HTH!

I would like something above the bed, but I think I'd prefer a grouping of 2 or 3 paintings or prints or a triptych to a single short and wide image. Maybe it's just the feel of looking out a high slit window that doesn't seem master BR cozy to me. The same artist as the one you posted does a triptych and since they are custom, you could get the size and colors you like -- send her the photo of your room and let her help you chose the colors to work perfectly in there (maybe some silver highlights to play off the nightstands without adding more mirror and softer contrasts than the one you posted). That link led me to this artist The painting is a word in braile and you could have something that has a special meaning to you and it still has that soft organic feel. She also has some with color(s) in the background. One other thing I thought about was Sticks and Stones. They do architectural photography series to create name or word of your choice. You have multiple options for each letter. I did our last name for DH at Christmas and was very happy with it. I put the link below for you. The square pillows are good colors, but the pattern seems a bit strong. Not terrible and may become more balanced with art on the wall and a throw on the bed, so I wouldn't rush to change, especially if you like them. The paisley pillows have great colors and softer lines, but they are still a bit bold for the room I think you are trying to put together. You have a beautiful room as it is, so take your time and find the perfect finishing touches. Any art should speak to you; especially when you see it everyday, you want it to mean more than a place filler. I have no doubt you will find something or have something created just for you. Wishing I hadn't seen the art on Etsy -- I want and I don't have any bare walls. If anything, I have one or two too many things to hang since we moved my dad recently. Which reminds me of what I should be doing..... Here is a link that might be useful: Sticks and Stones

How can i edit my original post to delete out the comment about the Christmas tree? People are misunderstanding me :( I'M NOT PLANNING MY ROOM AROUND THE CHRISTMAS TREE, FRIENDS lol I was simply saying that's why I didn't want built in's was because when I built this house that was my designated spot for it and I can't do that with a built in there. Y'all are so funny. I know people are crazy obsessed with Christmas so I get the confusion, people on my facebook already have their tree up! hahaha :) One of the biggest issues I am having is with artwork. I was going to put some on either side of the fireplace but when I look for lodge style artwork it looks (as my best friend lovingly puts it) like it belongs in the house of some 80 year old redneck woman living in a travel trailer and frying a deer steak LOL and yes, I hate to say I can see where she's coming from. I'm not sure how to mix none redneck art into a lodge theme/style. Deer, moose, bear, etc. all go with the lodge but all wall decor I find that have those have that 1980's redneck outdated look no matter what frame it's in.
