Comments (25)Brutuses, that Collin table is great, isn't it? Its only new piece of furniture Ive ever bought! When we got married 8 years ago, we had between the two of us boxes of textbooks, one twin bed, and a dresser. Im too frugal to buy much new, so its taken awhile to actually furnish a house ;-) Were out of grad school days now, but since I got the table on clearance with a gift card, I guess we dont change our stripes too much. Great ideas mjlb. The more I looked at the room photos, the more I liked those little watercolors in there somewhere. The wall to the left of the entry door would be perfect. Would black frames and aqua mats like the sepia prints suit these too? I actually made a grasscloth picture mat for the sepia prints first, before I realized there was no contrast there and it needed more color. I could certainly do a grasscloth frame for the mirror. Would the same vertical placement to the right of the door work better then you think? Somehow on the post above I got two of the same picture; I guess my copy and paste didnt work the second time. Here is another angle of the accent wall. I've since moved the candlesticks over by the closet door. I do like the molding shelves on the grasscloth. Since I have three, how should I arrange them on the wall? Do I need something in that left corner by the table or leave it empty? And what do people recommend for a lamp base, assuming I do the fabric shown above for the shade?...See Morefinishing touches in master bedroom
Comments (18)Are you sufficiently adept at sewing to add a band to the drapes to make then longer so you can raise them? I’m not a fan of dried floral floor arrangements. I would also jettison the candle/flowers on the dresser. They look a bit dated to me. I agree with the advice to move the chair out of the room. Whether you move it to another room or totally out of the house is your call. I like the pillows in celerygirl’s post. I think your bedside lamps and their shades are fine. I would put a lamp on the dresser, re-orient the mirror to off-center vertical, and maybe a tray with a pretty box or dish for rings, small family photos in pretty frames, and a small green plant....See MoreColor-lover looking for help with RUG and other accents
Comments (192)Thank you so much, dsimber, Angel and Bluemarble. If you’re in the room, the pillows have a different (good) vibe, but I agree they look a bit much in the photo....See MoreHelp needed with finishing out master bedroom please.
Comments (71)katlea, thank you for letting us know that your wall color is BM Dove White and the trim is BM Simply White. I never would have thought the two whites would look so nice together and give that peaceful look. I love your bedroom just the way it is (or similar to the last picture but maybe one picture above the bed or two or three small pictures instead of five). You are giving me courage to post my bedroom for advice as I have been struggling on what do do with the wall color or paint my headboard or get a new headboard as well as when I have time to remove the old wall to wall carpet....See MorePatricia Smith
