I don't have all of those things, like a clothes steamer, but I have most. When we first started visiting friends in my much younger days, we had a friend that set us up very nicely and I have been trying to emulate her!! Even my granddaughter loves to stay at grandmas.....tea parties and dress up and a bounce house and art supplies!! I try to have something for everyone!

I agree with the wall colors being white, in that way you can add some more blue within the details. I like the idea of navy-based curtains. Because of the space in the room, I believe one would be better, maybe finding one that matches with the vibrant colors in the duvet cover.

Ok, progress update. Here is the navy accent wall. I love the color. Now I'm debating whether to leave it an accent wall or finish the room in it.

inspiration pictures of both ways

aaah that's such a cool color!

I'd be highly tempted to continue..))

following as guest bedroom 2 in our new build as a slanted wall as well, with a t&g fir ceiling- on the slant....

ok, here is another question. Do you ever see board and batten carried from floor to ceiling? What if I did the low wall and slanted wall in board and batten and carried it across the ceiling? Then painted the rest of the room blue to match the current accent wall. ??

kinda like this. Though this only goes up the slanted wall. Would it look weird to extend it to the ceiling?

Since you have an accent wall already, I wouldn't do another "accent" on the walls...

no, no, If I did the board and batten, it would become the accent wall. I'd paint the rest of the room blue

the bed would then go on the board and batten accent wall

I think the board and batten looks great on the low wall and continued up the angled wall. Doing that creates an architectural feature. Painting the rest of the room navy will look great too. For drapes I have seen navy drapes with tiny stars cut out that let tiny stars of light in when closed. (Walmart?) could see those in your room. When open they would disappear against the navy wall and not compete with your focal point board and batten angled wall.

On the angled wall board and batten will read like wall not ceiling. Uhleezah, your example picture with the black iron beds shows really well what it can look like. If you notice in that example photo there is a white beam at the point where the angled wall meets the ceiling. That could be a nice touch in your room. It creates a stopping point for the battens and could also be a place to install lighting.

cctuttle, these curtains?

Pretty much!. The ones I saw were actually tiny stars... as in Star Wars boys room... but thats the look

I am very curious what you end up doing. I have the same room as you with the sloped ceiling, which I am about to redo. I was thinking of painting it all navy as well, but I'm too chicken. I was using this picture as inspiration with the board and batten and the "headboard idea" with the contrasting colour in tongue and groove. Maybe it's an idea for you, with the tongue and groove painted navy. I have my bed on the sloped wall as well

In the above photo how in the world would the window ever get opened? I would assume that there is a window behind that green part of the wall? Or, is that just decorative, and why? I think that the room pictured here is way too highly contrived and is probably out of context with the rest of the OPs decor. The room in question is in a house and not out in a barn in front of the barn door.

The hugh comforter on the bed looks like it is only to be looked at and would serve no purpose, at all.

I also highly doubt that the OP is looking to install board and batten on the walls and redo the entire ceiling in beadboard.

This is somewhat akin to a fashion runway in that it may create a look, but it is unwearable. One can only, logically, take away an element or an overall impression of the fashion as an inspiration. There is a lot of this in room shoot photos.

OP...the one dark wall looks good. Let us know what you decide to do. It does seem that it would darken the room if you did the whole room. The other walls appear to be a bit yellow in contrast to the ceiling. Perhaps give some thought as to what neutral white color they become. It might be better to paint them in some neutral white type of color that tends towards gray, rather than what they are now that seems to tend towards the yellow. Just a thought............

Wednesday morning...I'd say you're correct - it was an "inspiration" picture, as stated. I would assume there were no windows behind the tongue and groove headboard as well, it would be too ridiculous. To each his own.

I assumed that there was no window, also...it's just a background to the headboard. It's a fun element imho, that brings some impact to the bed...

Instead of the Venetian blinds, what about a Roman shade? You can always couple with curtains too!

Progress update:

Finished the board and batten accent wall and painted the rest of the room. Still need headboard, pillow shams, nightstands, and art/decor etc. But here is where I am so far.

Wow that looks great ! Very nice job on the board and batten. Did you apply it directly to the wall or did you use something like Hardboard under it. Thanks for posting an update...I've been wondering what you ended up doing. Nice window treatment as well

oh I like it!! lovely room

I'd say-you need a lamp on that nightstand(nighstands when you find another one/find new ones) ..first thing first

the rest, can come together slowly..you nailed the main thing

any hints on budget? in case I/we see something..

I think that's lovely...and the bed under the eaves is wonderfully cozy...I do like the look of lots of pillows..so I don't think the headboard will show much...whatever kind you get (you could even diy one) keep lots of pillows for added cozyness...

Could you get 2 substantial (drawers all the way) nightstands and do away with the dresser?

Not a Pro.

Love it! Keep us in the loop as you finish the room.

AWESOME job so far!

Gargamel: I did apply the board and batten directly to the wallboard.

april: I'm on kind of a shoe-string budget =) I get most things off Craigslist or Marketplace or build it myself. If I don't find nightstands soon, I will try building a pair of these. But if you see anything made out of actual wood for under $50 (unlikely, I know) let me know!

Molly: The duvet is reversible =) and this side seemed to go better with the wall color.

Penny: I don't plan to get rid of the chest because it's a really well made piece, and someday this room will probably be converted to a bedroom for one of my littles that currently share a room.

Jodie: Where would you move the chest?

Across from your bed on the wall with a odd shaped gold mirror and lamp to coordinate with wood chest and room decor.

Temporary, but could the chest go on the wall by the chair (not the window wall, the other one) and the chair go in the corner where the chest is? Perhaps a tray for a book, etc on the chair?

I think it would balance the bed a bit.

Totally understand teeny budgets...

Ok, here is the dresser on the other wall, is that what you mean? Not sure where the chair fits best though....maybe I need to look for a smaller chair?

Just noticed you only have 1 night table. You should have 2. Maybe use a small desk to do double duty on the window side and move the small one you have to the other side. Room is really coming together. It looks so nice.

Yes...it does look better there...I would just put the chair on the other side to balance out the one nightstand until the funds come in to get 2. It's just a bit crowded with them both on the same side...

Maybe some floating nightstands?

I tried the chair two other places

Not a Pro.

Loving your room!

I like the chair next to the dresser.

Get another end table, headboard and some accessories to finish it off.

The chair looks nice next to the dresser - it sort of stands out a bit more against the blue wall...maybe move the dresser a bit more towards the door. Maybe hang a picture behind the chair. You could easily make a floating box for a nightstand - 4 pieces of wood. You are doing a fantastic job - you get things done !

I started my room the same time as you and all I've done is paint the ceiling -lol

haha =) I go in spurts. If I end up having to build the headboard or nightstands none of that will get accomplished til after Christmas

Another option I don’t see in photos is to place the dresser on the same wall as the bed but on the left side. Dresser can act as a bedside table of sorts and will balance small table and closet door, which carries a lot of visual weight if it stays white, on the right side of the bed. Like the idea of painting door and trim same blue as wall... Like the chair best in corner by the window away from the bed. Also like dresser on wall opposite bed with chair in the corner by the window. A simple vase with flowers in it or ceramic pot with greenery would set the dress off nicely. Thanks for posting pictures for us to see! Great progress
