The room also has the original, HUGE, beautiful built in mirror that is built into the wall with ornate wood. I feel like it's time to strip and re stain this as well, so again, what color should I use? It gets even worse! we had to pull the old crap trim and are replacing it. My hubby purchased beautiful trim that is white. Too much going on. Skip the pallet ceiling. The mirror is the focal point. Don't need (or want!) anything else. Make it easy on yourself & do a painted drywall (or plaster) ceiling. For firespread resistance, you need drywall under the pallet boards anyway.

Not sure what you're asking. Are you looking for specific furniture in a white finish? What other colors are going on in the room? It would help immensely if you could share a photo of your space and a better idea of exactly what it is you're looking for.

I would definitely do one big rug, because the two smaller rugs would break up the room and look pieced together. I'm still pondering on the color, however I think a dark brown would look better than a dark gray. You could also go with a rug that is thicker if you wanted, since the bed is on the more elaborate side. Does the mirror have a little bit more of a red tone or is it just the picture? You could tap into the reds for your rug too if that is the case.

Pictures would help Is the cream around the fireplace the same as the cream moldings and built ins? A blue gray is going to make the cream even more yellow, but a green gray may work. It will really depend on the blues and creams that are already in the room.
