Bedding for Master: Please help me select from two choices!
Last night when I went to pick up the bedding I had planned on buying at the Dillard's Cardmember Sale, I wound up finding another that I liked as well and now I'm having a hard time deciding which one to go with. Please help me decide.....
Option A: Paisley bedding and shams with coverlet on white side with blue embroidery. Window treatments will be replaced with the ones in the photo below, which are listed as "navy" but they are more of a textured chambray-blue color. (the stock picture looks purplish for some reason) The curtain hardware will be raised and curtains will be a little higher above the window to give the illusion of higher ceilings. All of the furniture in the room is white with grey tops, just like the night stands.
Option B: Navy Cotton Chenille Comforter & Shams with white & blue coverlet. Curtains would either be the ones in photo above, solid white, or maybe navy? Another thought was to add a grey coverlet instead of white & blue and to keep the grey & white curtains, but I would add an extra panel to each window to make the window treatments look more substantial.
Option C: Quilt/Coverlet flipped to solid blue side with paisley shams & comforter. Curtains would likely be the chambray ones featured above or the light blue ones on the left side.
Ideally, I plan on adding new bedside lamps that are glass with gold trim and white drum shades.
Which bedding option do you think looks best and most luxurious? Our home is a cross between transitional and coastal... Thank you!!!

Comments (11)Well now that I am reading up on how to post pix like sheesharee did so nicely above for me-- I am going to post the 2 or 3 lights that are now in the running. ( I still happen to really like the first one that you all agree is more traditional than the other elements...and am pretty close to orderin git- I keep thinking even if it is more traditional its on the ceiling will it really stick out like it doesnt belong? I dont think so but I do get that there might be better choices--and so I spend my time surfing the net...) Also to throw this off- the picture is of chrome but the item would be their empire silver finish which is sort of a muted silver-think brushed nickel-ish. This one would be brushed nickel... Obviously this next one is just plain plain but would it be better? And this one? They are all so similar... I am having such a party now that I read the instructions of how to post pix that are not in photobucket. Here's hoping it works!! Your thoughts?...See MorePlease help me with pull choices!

Comments (11)fustian -- Restoration Hardware has a very liberal return policy. So while you'll be out the shipping charges, if you choose to not use the RH pulls you can absolutely return them, no problems. I purchased & installed on cabinetry (in the old kitchen) some of their longer pulls (in hopes of using them for appliance pulls). Then, when we realized they weren't going to work for our application we removed them and returned them without a single problem. At first I was hesitant to try to return something I'd opened up (they come individually wrapped in plastic baggies) but as I was going in to purchase something else thought I'd at least try to get a store credit. They were willing to return it outright! Not just for store credit. So you'll be okay opening them up and even putting them on a scrap piece (as I'm assuming you won't want to test on your new cabinetry), even if you decide to go with something else....See MoreMaster bath faucets, shower fixtures--help me narrow down choices.
Comments (9)Thank-you for the info! Spent an hour and half at a plumbing supply showroom yesterday! Won't know until room is gutted what the current drain lines look like and if it will be easy (and not expensive) to move the toilet. Everything hinges on the toilet! haha. Picked out items that I liked but didn't order anything yet. Like the Kohler Artifacts line and the faucet is similar to your Moen's @crl. Will probably go with that line's shower head and hand held, Memoirs Stately toilet. Think it all keeps within the traditional style of the room and house and still clean lined. (liked the Grohe lines, too, but thought the Kohler Artifacts line was a better match for the room). Even picked out a drain cover--who knew there were so many choices! And no tub. In fact taking out the tub. Rarely used, gives us much more room to play with and we have two other tubs in the house....See MorePlease help me select appliances
Comments (7)As far as your rangetop - I am an induction convert so can’t comment on the Wolf. I would think for a NYC apartment with venting concerns - induction would be a consideration. As far as your ovens - I have Miele 30” convection/CSO/Speed. Love them all. Bosch makes a good oven from what I have read but their CSO/Speed are more limiting. I would not dismiss a CSO due to “learning curve”. The Miele CSO can operate as a regular 2nd oven until you have time to experiment with the combi steam modes. Yes it is great for bread but it is also great for reheating foods that are very close to freshly made. It is also useful for roasting meats/poultry/etc. I love it for lasagne/meatloaf as adding moisture doesn’t dry the top while the dish cooks. It also makes great New York Style cheesecake (I now use Junior’s recipe). The steam only option is great for veggies and anything you may want to poach or blanch. It cooks pasta perfectly without worrying about a boiling over pot. I don’t have the plumbed version and filling the tank and emptying the resevoir is really no biggie. Like the CSO the Speed Oven can also be used as a regular oven or a microwave or you can combine the two. I rarely use the micro/oven mode myself. It depends on how you like to cook and are willing to spend some time learning how to take advantage of their capabilities. I had to do this will all my appliances as many advances have occurred since I bought my prior set in 2012. After 2 1/2 years - I still have all my user manuals close by. I am not warming drawer person as all 3 of my ovens can keep things warm so I didn’t have a need. That was part of my rationale of getting the speed oven instead of a microwave as I thought it would be more versatile than a micro and a warming drawer. As far as a dishwasher - you are good with either Miele or Bosch. I went with Miele that has the open air drying/LED lighting/most flexible basket design. This is one appliance you need to get to a showroom and see what works best for you. Both clean well and are quiet. I have used both and think the open air drying is more effective. I think Miele has superior racks. It really is a personal choice. Being in NYC you have many showrooms with live appliances where you can take a few hours do some test driving once you narrow your decisions. Sounds like you have your hands full but appliances are an important decision so hopefully you can carve some hours out and visit a showroom. Both Wolf and Miele design centers have classes on using their appliances. Not sure what Bosch offers there....See MoreAndie

5 years agoI had a chance to put up the curtains temporarily until I can raise the rods up a bit and I also took your advice @pirateroo and moved the pillows and you are right- a grayish pillow will pull it all together! I also tried out one of my lamps- wondering if I need to go bigger with the lamp shade?
Hoping to stop at HomeGoods today to see if they have an oversized lumbar pillow. I did see this one at Target last night:

5 years agoI think I would go a bit larger with the lamps. Maybe bring in some metal like brass for the bases, to give some shine.
Wall sconces above the bed might be another fun option- if needing more room on the nightstands. I also like the accent color in the photo below to play up your bedding.
Another idea - a wall of curtains behind your bed. This could help conceal that the bed encroaches into the window space. Kind of integrates the whole wall. Obviously, you would need a longer rod with support brackets and a couple more panels.

5 years agobumping back up because I am making progress!!
scooped up two of these lumbar pillows last night at TJ Maxx, I'm kinda debating.... it seems like none of the throw pillows I am picking out are working!!! GAH!!!
close up of pillow pattern.
I had grabbed this light gray herringbone flannel to make a pillow cover myself, but I'm still not sure how I feel about it. Was thinking of making the cover and then doing a large applique monogram in navy on the front to match the blue pillow cording around the edge... Thoughts?
or just go with the blue herringbone pillow? This is a pain in the butt. haha.
