5 years agoI like the design on that one, too, Steph. For pillows, I like four standard sized, two of which are down and an accent pillow or two. Take a look at West Elm for bedding. If you go for a plain white comforter, you could add a folded quilt or coverlet at the foot.
I think an area rug in this room would be really nice.

Making a 4 Bedroom House 3 Bedrooms- Bad Idea?
Comments (3)Ah, but you only *think* this will be less expensive. These projects not only always cost more than you estimate, you have to live in dirt for what seems forever -- costly in terms of peace and sanity. I was somewhat OK with your plans for the second story. When you got into completely rearranging the first floor rooms, you lost my support. (Like you care! LOL) DH and I lived for 30 years in a house about the size of yours (only one child though). After DS moved out we combined two BRs to have a larger master BR. Didn't hurt our sales prospects; still had a total of three BRs, three baths. The new house we live in now was bought to be a "remodel". I am so grateful we did a teardown instead! All New is always better than Partly New unless you have a historic home. My advice would be to spare yourselves a lot of money that you will NOT recoup and months/years of living in a construction site....See MoreHelp transform my small bedroom into bedroom + office space.
Comments (3)So I just tweeked your current plan a little bit by doing pier style cabinets on either side of the bed. Then you don’t have to have a nightstand. Or you can just do full height wardrobes. You will have to account for the jogs in the wall so that the bed is positioned so that you can get the doors open. Then the desk would be opposite the bed and possibly add a little bookcase. I am showing a queen sized bed....See MoreHelp with bedroom layout - furniture ideas?
Comments (6)HI. Here is what I suggest: 1) Remove the shelves. 2) Instead of centering the bed, move it more toward the back (sliding door). Leave enough space for a shelf or nightstand. This will make the room feel larger and allow for a wardrobe in the front. 3) Wardrobe on the wall towards the front of the room, where you have a wider space. 4) A narrow bench at the end of the bed would be fine....See MoreTeen bedroom & Guest bedroom ideas

5 years agoHere are few nightstands you might like. The last one is really just an idea of how your current ones could look if you painted them. It's not uncommon for Scandinavian case goods to be painted. Often with really lovely flourishes. Could save you a little money . . .

I'd do something w/your ceiling too. maybe a natural pale wood plank, or beadboard painted white, or even a natural wood beadboard.
here are some examples. pick and choose what you like and copy into your room.
I love the colors in this one, above. grays/blacks, blush, white and natural wood. look on craigslist for vintage mcm style nightstands. you can also do Ikea and look at how to 'hack' their items. (Pinterest, Ikea Hacks)Love these paint colors with that style room.

5 years agoOk so I think we are going with this Grey headboard from West Elm. The other one I posted seemed cheaply made, so we decided we might as well get something that’s gonna last even though it’s a bit pricey. My question is: wood or white frame? I’m leaning towards wood, but think the white might be nice too.

5 years agoOff topic, but does anyone have suggestions for what to put on the shelves in our bathroom? I was thinking a small basket for towels and a couple jars for cotton swabs and stuff, but that won’t be enough. Maybe a picture or something. We are putting a pic of the Golden Gate Bridge on the wall that has a black frame. Our pic is more white than cream. I’ll post a pic. Ignore the faucet. I didn’t realize there were three holes so I’m gonna look for a new one.

4 years agoOk so I’ve had to put off our bedroom for the past few months because, we’ll, life lol. We were aggressively paying down our car loan to get it over with, but now we’re gonna have extra money for this update. So excited. I’ve made a decision on the bed frame and I will attach a pic of the final choice. I will also post two rug options, which I believe were suggested above, and see which one you guys suggest we go with.
We also plan to sand down and paint our nightstands white to save money. They’re solid wood and in really good condition, so I think it’s best to just give them a face-lift. Will also probably change the hardware, so suggestions on those are welcome.
We are gonna move the bed to the other large wall as suggested, and I need recommendations on a dresser because our current one is from ikea and falling apart.
Steph L.
4 years agoOk these are two rug options, which I forgot to include above. What size should they be with a queen bed?
katinparadise
4 years agoA 5x8 can work with a queen but a 6x9 would be even better. Here's a guide that might help.

3 years agoOk guys! I finally made a lot of progress on our room! We bought a thuma bed and the walnut dresser I posted about earlier. Shelf is from Etsy and painting is the last painting my grandpa made for me. Lmk what you think!! Plants and lumbar pillow (made my my SIL from Guatemala) coming soon!

3 years agoThe nightstands were repainted. Used to be black. We also switched up the hardware to freshen them up. Very happy with how they turned out

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agogreat job on the nightstands. i like the white.
what do you think about doing some sconces over them?
I feel like a hanging plant in the corner would look fit perfectly w/your decor
I tried out two of the sconces here.
or maybe in the other corner?

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoI do like grandpas artwork, but what if you moved it to the other wall and used a larger piece w/the pillow colors over the bed? It's larger and fits that space, plus the colors really pop w/all of the white
grandpas piece would look nice over by the chair, or maybe in a collage w/some of his other paintingsoh, and the sconces can be hardwired, or, some can just be plugged into the outlet. (but you'll see the cord) West Elm has some
these are Rejuvenation
amazon?

3 years agoThis is a picture of one of the covers, and you can kind of see the other one behind it (the red pattern). I’m leaning more towards the red, but we’ll see when they get here.
Steph L.
3 years agoOk they have arrived! They’re a little longer than I thought, but which do you guys prefer? Also, sconces came but haven’t had time to do anything with them. Will try tomorrow

Beth H. :
3 years agowell, I like these better
lol, but yours are still cute. I'm thinking they're a tad high though? because the light goes up, I think you can lower them a bit. But if you like 'em, it's all that matters!
to make the cord less noticeable, you can pull it taut and secure it, maybe paint it the wall color, or get a cord cover for it. Steph L.

3 years agowhat's a big rig? oh you mean rug?
well the rug only goes under part of the bed and isn't meant to cover the entire floor
only goes under that last 1/3 or the bed, and covers just a little larger than the bed itself.
like so:
