Just to keep on the same page with the name "hunter green" attached to the color that was very popular once, it was a dulled or "dirtied" dark green, with a slight trend to the yellow side that had to be considering in working with it. I say dirtied because it's more like brown was added than like muted but still fresh greens. It was often combined with a dull off red, especially in "rustic" and "country" style items, like coffee cups and wallpaper strips with bears and hearts on them. I never bought anything but a shirt for my husband in this color, even though it was all over the place, because it definitely didn't go with the more vibrant and pure colors I was using at the time. Of course, the name's been attached to millions of items from millions of dye lots since then, but that's the base notion for this color.

whenicit, Thanks, but I need LOTS of help! The other advantage to the 2nd layout in BR1 is that the headboard is rather high and if I put it along the wall, it won't block the windows which would probably be better. I'll see about adding seating when I get the beds assembled. We may have room and it would give me a project to scour antique shops. That is what I'm planning on doing for a nightstand in the second bedroom. A little shabby/chic, beachy. I was going to look through some "Real Simple" magazines for inspiration. I'm not sure exactly what I want yet, but I though a "weathered" table, perhaps in a fun color, would go nicely with the iron bed. ajsmama, Thank you for the suggestion on BR1. I agree that swaping the nightstand is much better. On BR2, I think I could move the dresser closer to the door. The only think I actually don't like about the dresser in that position in general is that I'm not fond of the look of it from the side, but no mater how far forward or backward it is, I'm going to have that problem... Thanks for all you help! Jaymie

I don't think he cares as long as it is not floral. i was considering these. https://www.bloomingdales.com/shop/product/ralph-lauren-marylebone-bedding-collection?ID=2963665&CategoryID=1004678#fn=ppp%3Dundefined%26sp%3DNULL%26rId%3DNULL%26spc%3D483%26spp%3D42%26rsid%3Dundefined%26smp%3DmatchNone https://www.bloomingdales.com/shop/product/robert-graham-tapestry-bedding-collection?ID=3113482&CategoryID=1004678#fn=ppp%3Dundefined%26sp%3DNULL%26rId%3DNULL%26spc%3D483%26spp%3D10%26rsid%3Dundefined%26smp%3DmatchNone or a solid with texture https://www.bloomingdales.com/shop/product/hudson-park-interlock-collection-100-exclusive?ID=2681386&CategoryID=1004678#fn=ppp%3Dundefined%26sp%3DNULL%26rId%3DNULL%26spc%3D483%26spp%3D18%26pn%3D3%7C6%7C18%7C483%26rsid%3Dundefined%26smp%3DmatchNone

Back with an update! We were able to move our nightstands back into the room. I was also able to start putting together blue & white bedding to see how it would look, as I already had some components on hand and I was able to scoop up a quilt the other day that I really liked the texture and colors of. You can also see the night stands and how they look with the bed. We had to top them with grey in order to cover up some damage to the tops as we were repainting them. The other option was to sand and re-stain them, and we were trying to avoid that. So far, I'm liking how the blue & white is coming together. In order to complete the look, I am thinking that a blue comforter and blue shams with some sort of textural look would be a great final touch, along with a few new throw pillows to pull it together on the bed. The coverlet in the last picture is a very light one that I had in storage that I just put there temporarily to visualize a blue comforter until I can settle on one. I was also thinking of switching out the sheets to a pale aqua or grey to add interest to the bed. Future plans also include changing out the lamps or repainting the bases antique gold or something to bring some warmth and such to the room.. but I'd like to get the bed figured out first! :) PS we got the bed this past weekend, and I LOVE it! It was a great buy! Currently, I am going between several shades of blue, etc. for the comforter and shams. I am going between this navy chenille set Or one of these pin tucked style comforters in either the bright blue or the navy or even a light blue or, lastly, this "blue" (that's what the description says, I'm not sure if it is blue, but we will see!!!) chenille comforter I really love the look of the navy chenille in the picture, but I'm worried about it looking dark in the room but then at the same time, all of the furniture will be white, etc... soooo?? Next step will be window treatments... which I need to figure out as well... but I'd like to get the bed figured out first! Any thoughts? I've kind of pulled this color palette together.. so I'm going to try to pull it all together with this. This particular artist even sells throw pillows of this painting... so that's a thought. Thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks!
