Comments (18)If you need a ceiling fan, and I can sure understand why you do as I'd never do without one in our MBR, I say skip the chandy and just replace the fan with one that's large enough to cool your room and is in a style that works with your new furniture. Skip the lights on it, though, and just use lamps on your nightstands, dresser, and wherever to light your room. Bed: think about the fact that you'll probably have to replace the storage baskets under that one bed you like someday in the near future (they will get kicked and frayed, etc). Will you be able to find good, quality replacements that fit those cubbies then . . . and at a reasonable price? It's something I've thought about every time I look at those types of beds. When I pay for a piece of quality furniture, I don't want to worry about replacing parts of it in a few years, but that's just me. As for your bedding, I love your idea about using tan, cream and aqua. I like this type of coverlet. It's lightweight, so you can use it year-round and vary the accent pieces. This one I found on Kohls website and it's on sale at the moment. Then you can use an aqua print (or plain) coverlet folded at the foot of your bed until you need it. You can add matching shams and/or coordinating shams and bedskirt of you choose. Here's one idea, but there are many possibilities out there.

Comments (5)Hmmmm... wouldn't it depend on which colony? Seems to me that British Colonial in the East Indies, would be very different from British Colonial in the West Indies. Or maybe they've combined them? Or chosen one? I'm very interested to hear what the experts have to say on this. I would imagine that one excellent ceiling light for a British Colonial room would be anything of the glass hurricane variety. Like this maybe, which you see all over India and Morocco, but usually in fantastic colors: Here is a link that might be useful: Lantern...See MorePlease help me pick a 'spa' blue for my bedroom
Comments (12)Here are a few more- BM Palladian Blue or Wythe Blue (on the same strip in the historical collection). These seem a touch strong to me. Look at the BM strip that starts at color #701 "Swept Away"-love that strip. Similar to Palladian and Wythe but not quite as bold. Also the SW strip that starts with #6210 "Window Pane"-someone mentioned the color "Quietude" above and that's on the same strip....See More1903 colonial master bedroom help!
Comments (35)I suggested the dark green based off the paint colors you said you have. The plum Flo is showing as well as Lavender are beautiful with dark green. If a duvet isnt available you can use a solid cream duvet and get the floral shams and fold a dark green quilt at the bottom of the bed for a layered look that will carry the colors in your home into your bedroom. This will give you fluidity from room to room. Then mix in some pretty pillows in plum and lavender. It would look great. I used to live in a 1900 Victorian so I know the fragility of real plaster walls. If you don't want to drill into them to hang the drapery higher I would suggest at least taking them to the top of the casing.
