Master BR coordinating bedding & curtain help
Comments (3)thank guys! chrissay - yep room and window have the same thing going on. That's probably how we'll end up doing the bed. I am worried about my lovely kitties messing with the window though. sky.. you may have fixed my bathroom shower curtain problem! i think the valance and there's a sheer type underthing (same pattern) i think it's all attached. i'll have to check it out. those dupioni silk drapes appear to be pretty heavy. this is good. seem a bit pricey but i'm discovering all curtains are! glad i don't have tons of windows in my house! :)...See MorePlease help me choose my girls' bedding.
Comments (14)I think you have to ask yourself what is likely to last longer, the wall cover or the duvet covers. I don't know about your little girls, but with my kids, nose bleeds, throw-up, crayons, etc., as well as changing interests (horses, fairies, bunnies, polka dots, and flannel/sateen) would have meant that the duvet covers would have had a shorter shelf life than the wall color. I also would not have spent 300.00 plus on bedding under those conditions, so the wall color would have been most important. If, however, the bedding is the more important investment, money-and time-wise, then you should pick the one you like the most and take the wall color from there. Just to throw out some more ideas if you want to go back to the drawing board: Below are other examples of trees and color suggestions. http://www.decorpad.com/photo.htm?photoId=83669 this maybe with pink/white bedding from Ikea: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40206971/ this is a very soft sateen fabric. http://www.squidoo.com/pink-girl-baby-bedding?utm_source=google&utm_medium=imgres&utm_campaign=framebuster It's also really easy to make duvet covers yourself from twin sheets, either with velcro or a folded over 'pocket.' So, you could make several sets. Some neat "teen" bedding but perhaps too sophisticated, http://www.decoist.com/2012-07-13/stylish-bedding-for-teen-girls/ Here is a link that might be useful: Company store...See MoreWant to help me choose accessories for blank slate bedroom(s)?
Comments (5)whenicit, Thanks, but I need LOTS of help! The other advantage to the 2nd layout in BR1 is that the headboard is rather high and if I put it along the wall, it won't block the windows which would probably be better. I'll see about adding seating when I get the beds assembled. We may have room and it would give me a project to scour antique shops. That is what I'm planning on doing for a nightstand in the second bedroom. A little shabby/chic, beachy. I was going to look through some "Real Simple" magazines for inspiration. I'm not sure exactly what I want yet, but I though a "weathered" table, perhaps in a fun color, would go nicely with the iron bed. ajsmama, Thank you for the suggestion on BR1. I agree that swaping the nightstand is much better. On BR2, I think I could move the dresser closer to the door. The only think I actually don't like about the dresser in that position in general is that I'm not fond of the look of it from the side, but no mater how far forward or backward it is, I'm going to have that problem... Thanks for all you help! Jaymie...See MoreLooking for advice to help choose right wallpaper & paint combination
Comments (5)It is much easier to choose paint last because there are an infinite number of paint colours,but not so with bedding and drapes. Also, the bed 'top', because it is so large & prominent, sets the tone and mood for the rest of the room. Usually more so than the wallpaper! How much contrast you want between the walls and the drapes is really a personal choice but a drape close in tone to the walls will make the overall space feel larger and more seamless....See MoreRelated Professionals
