Scanmike, it is a new item, so I could be thinking of a different quilt with the same colors. I looked online and there are 2 that look similar. If I'm in error, I do apologize. BUT...I was actually there to buy one of their new duvet covers and as it turned out, they hadn't hit the stores yet. That said, the lady was able to look it up, tell me when it was going to be there, offered to call when it arrived and they went way beyond my expectations to help me. I would hope that the store near you would do the same thing. Maybe you should speak to someone from their website. They have a link that arranges for someone to call you. Even though on the site, all items say catalog and online only, I'm glad I inquired because I had a positive experience. I found their shipping charges to be a unreasonable, and if I couldn't have purchased in the store, I would have just skipped it.

Greywings, I have been coveting glass lamps lately so that is a great place to see if a small change would help! Jrueter, that looks great! I will show DH for all I could find last night were white washed walls. Thanks Grandmaof3, Accents are a great idea too. I will be honest I would love to like the room with just a change of paint color and a few small accents! Nosoccermom, I love the pics you posted and the natural pine is soooo lovely. I think mine might take a bit of sanding but I can try on the smaller pieces first! I already have an eggplant hall and navy guest bedroom abutting this room:( Maybe I will change the guest to grey and use the navy here! I am going to try a few paint samples on sat. to try and find a paint color first and after that if the pine pieces still make me say meh I will than decide how to change them out. Would a blue grey work the present comforter has dark grey with silver and robins egg accents. But I was afraid that a light blue might bring even more yellow undertones out of the wood. Thanks again!

I did that in my guest room - no problem at all. The carpet is pretty low pile and the rug is a fairly thick sculpted type oriental. I have no pad under the rug. I also have a very short, dense wool oriental rug on the carpet in my living room. That also works fine. I have all these rugs on carpet because I moved from a house with wood floors to one with more carpet. I hope to get rid of the carpet someday when I feel like moving everything again. So then I will need the rugs and in the meantime I can't stand the plain beige carpet. In another room I have a thick wool runner that covers the width of carpet from the deck door to the wood floor in the dining area. It has no furniture on it that holds it in place so it ripples a bit. I need to find a way to keep it flat.

I'm not really sure what a "maximizer" is ... indecisive? Maybe trying to make individual items do too much heavy lifting? A room is more than the perfect curtain, or lamp, or paint color, it's all those items working together. Sometimes it can be hard to envision the final outcome, especially when going slowly. That's why I like design boards, and even use them for my own home decorating projects. Anyway, you definitely need a headboard, nightstands and lamps. While I think the gray nightstand is pretty, I also feel it is a bit too delicate for the more rustic look of your bedroom; I'd pass it along to your daughter. Here's what I would suggest otherwise: The wood panel headboard and nightstands gives a nod to your husband's love of wood, while also being pretty and practical. They also have enough heft to stand up to the wood paneling in the room. An inexpensive pair of table lamps will add symmetry and balance, while also echoing the brushed nickel curtain rods. A taller headboard centered on that window will look fine, as long as you balance it on each side with nightstands and lamps. (I prefer panel or upholstered headboards for anything other than a guest room, they are much more comfortable than metal ones, especially if you like to read at night.) While the current comforter set and the blue drapes look fine, I like the idea of going bolder with a navy bedding set. It's a six-piece set, and comes with two throw pillows; one of those could go on the glider. If you already have Euros, you could do navy or natural shams. Rather than navy blue drapes, I'd go with a natural linen style blackout drape. The ones I pictured are from Walmart, but most big box stores carry them. And while I prefer drapes hung higher, I think those in your bedroom are actually a little too high; I'd lower the rod to be about halfway between it's current position and the top of the window frame. Finally, I would advise against a faux fireplace in this room. First, I don't think you really have the room, and second they never look very natural. If you are wanting it for a heat source, something like this Dyson heater/fan is much more practical. We have one in our house. It can be used for heating or cooling, plus it has the added benefit of being able to be tucked away in a closet when not needed.
