Ooo great ideas, thank you so much!! The bedding is Abigail Paisley by Crate & Barrel. I got it right before they sold out about a year ago. I love the turquoise idea, but am unsure how to pull it off. Would I replace existing pillows? Print, textured, or solid? Sorry for the dumb questions, but this is my first house and IâÂÂm new at this. =) Absolutely love the drapes/bamboo combo idea! I had been tossing around the idea of that type/color drapes alone, but I think the addition of the bamboo shades would really make it. Something like this, perhaps? And 2 regular panels per window, or ? That is a gorgeous (& pricey!) headboard. Probably way beyond my ability to make, haha. What about something more rectangular (and easier to make, lol) like this? Too simple? And yes, larger rectangular nightstands would be definitely be better! Should I get rid of the chair in the corner and get nightstands that are about the width of the windows, or would that be too big? White/cream furniture or some sort of wood color? IâÂÂm also really liking the area rug idea. A great way to cover the icky carpet and add more interest to the room! (IâÂÂm planning on eventually replacing the carpet with hardwood or laminate, but I gotta save up first!) Thanks for your suggestions and patience with my questions. :-D

I custom ordered ours from Bernhardt. There was an up charge for the fabric I wanted a custom wool flannel. Went with a taller arched headboard as we have 16 foot ceiling in our master, bed is beautiful.

Without seeing the bed in place with other pieces, it's hard to say. My first inclination would be to keep it as is. Everything doesn't have to match.

Perhaps the most invalid analogy ever: "It's like when a soccer mom with 5 kids goes into a car dealership and the salesman keeps trying to sell her sport's cars when she keeps telling him she wants a mini van". More accurate analogy: It's like when a soccer mom with 5 kids goes into a car dealership and the salesman keeps trying to sell her sport's cars when she keeps telling him she wants a mini van. but she wants it to look like a sports car, get the mileage of a Prius, the longevity of a Volvo, the ten year warranty included..... for the price of a used Chevy compact,. The other difference is she may have the "good grace" to realize it's not possible. Politely stated, the above beds are West Elm and Ethan Allen respectively. I would suggest jumping by kiddies on either is not a great idea, and both will be in the vicinity of a grand. They will not jiggle as they are the entire bed, versus a headboard bolted to a hollywood frame. I would suggest the first, to avoid the "matchy matchy" which is to drown a room in dark brown furniture, in this case a dresser, two side tables and bed, all the same. The warm golden tone far more updated , especially in consideration with green......... I'll politely suggest a hardware change on the brown furniture should that be an issue.
