Daughter want brown and blue bedroom
Comments (12)I too am looking into a chocolate brown and light blue bedroom. I'm 18 and when we moved into our house I was 7 years old and my bedroom was Winnie the Pooh (and Tigger too). At the age of 10 we redecorated with a green yellow and blue theme. My Mom said I could redecorate again at age 15. Well we started looking for ideas around my 16th birthday party and I didn't find anything so we decided to leave it alone. By the time I was 17 I was sick of it. We started looking again. But before we could begin my Father became very ill and passed away and our redecorating plans were put on hold. Now that he's gone, we have the time. My best friend suggested brown and blue. I found my comforter set at TJ MAXX and found an iron bed at JC PENNEY. My plans for the walls are pretty simple. Solid colors with 2 brown walls and 2 blue walls. I want the walls that are solid to be brown and the walls that have something in then, like a door...or a window, to be blue. My head of my bed will be on the wall with the window and it should REALLY pop off of that blue wall. And then I want a stripe of the opposite color running along the top of the walls like a border.... I'm so excited I cannot wait!!! I'll post before and after pics for everyone!...See MorePlease help me redecorate my master bedroom!
Comments (6)The most economical solution would be to bite the bullet and paint the desk from your teenage bedroom set that you are using as a vanity. Then ditch the teenage dresser and move the vanity. The shelves in your towers are currently being under utilized and you say you need storage for folded clothes. I would put curtains on the glass with top and bottom rods and use the shelves for the folded clothing. If the only reason the black curtain is there is to hide the cords, I would remove it and fill the area with wicker baskets that have covers. This will hide the cords and offer more storage. Paint the purple shelf black. Since you say you are willing to budget some money for improving the looks and function of the room I think you would be happier if you just got rid of the teenage furniture altogether. Sell it on CL. Then get a second hand secretary desk that looks more grown up and use it for a vanity. Get one that has a hutch to fill the wall space and you can use the cubbies for storage too. One that sits on legs would look light and airy in the room, but if storage is an issue, get one with drawers below. The flip down work surface would stay up most of the time so as not to crowd the room. These secretary pieces can be found on CL for cheap. You will feel more like a princess doing your routine at one of these than at you old teenage desk. If you sell the desk and dresser, and get a secretary the cost might be a wash. If you are planning on painting the secretary black anyway, you can even get a scuffed up one for very little money. Then with a secretary painted black being used as a vanity on the wall, and all the other furniture black, I think you could leave the two towers as they are as the economical option. You don't want everything to be all black do you? You just want to not have a myriad of wood tones and treatments. Your idea to get an entertainment amoire is nice. I think that a TV hidden behind doors is more peaceful for a bedroom and would look better being less cluttery. An amoire would have a smaller footprint in the room and also give that wall some breathing space. They are cuter too and you could find one that looks very feminine. Again, CL to the rescue. Buying a clothing amoire and adding a shelf inside for a TV, will give you style options that are more suited for a bedroom than a rec room. They are usually on feet and a big bulky thing like an amoire in a smaller room needs feet to make it seem lighter. There are some nice entertainment amoires made for LR TVs and they can be found on CL for a song. A nice secretary as a vanity? ===================== An amoire for TV and clothing?
