The room is approx. 11' x 12', has (SW) corner windows and a small attached bath, which is tiled in the original 50s grey/burgundy. I think the vanillin is too yellow (a) for my liking, (b) for the quilt that my MIL kindly made for us and (c) to tie into the bathroom color scheme. The bed frame will stay. The cherry dresser, bookcase & nightstand--while I love them--were not purchased for that bed and do not work with it. I hope to replace them with more simply styled furniture. The blinds are a problem from the exterior viewpoint also, and will either be lined in an off-white or replaced entirely with sheers or some other off-white treatment. We took out the old white mini blinds and prefer not to go that route again (the cats loved bending them). I'm viewing the quilt as my fall/winter bedcover, and would love to get new, lighter coverings for spring/summer. I need help in identifying a wall color that could work with that quilt, contrast/coordinate nicely with the bed, and provide a nice backdrop for new white/patterned bedcoverings. This is the view from the hall door. The wall on the left is 11' The bed runs parallel to the 12' stretch And here's the bathroom Just to complicate matters :-) we may move to an adjacent room that is longer but also has a (SE) corner window set up. I'd love to discuss layout, but the color issue is most pressing right now. Thanks for any help!

we had that pink tile in the downstairs powder room of our old house and it had a little pink checker board pattern floor tile. We did a "remodel" of the bathroom for about $1000. I removed the old toilet, had a guy install new floor tile over existing - the tile was in great shape so he went right over it. That was $400. I had a guy come in and do the spray finish over the pink tile - that was another $400. It was really easy for him since toilet was still gone from the floor guy being there. Then a new toilet was $200. I did the spray stuff in white. The existing sink was white. The new toilet was white. I painted the walls above in light blue. I wish I could fine a before picture!

Too many pillows on the bed, and I'm afraid the room looks rather cold. I would add another color, perhaps yellow, to warm up the room, and pale yellow curtains with gray walls would look great, and change some of the pillows to that color. The TV looks lonely, I would put a long, narrow console under it and find a way to attach the cord behind the TV. You could put large candle holders with yellow candles on the console, but don't crowd it with too much "stuff" otherwise. I wouldn't paint the wall too deep a gray, make it a warm middle tone so the room looks cozy.

Hi cathy_1, The first place to start is with a color palette. Otherwise you are searching for a needle in a haystack when it comes to the design. Check out my Ideabook. If you don't find anything you like I can create a custom palette for you! Here's the link to the Color Palettes Ideabook: https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/84492682/list/color-palette-creations Karen
