I am not a great fan of oak in general, but I like the bed as is. It's classic and traditional -- not too country for me. I would also like it painted white, black, a color or stained darker or in a color. I think you have a lot of options there, but I'm not sure what you are trying to work with or if the things you have pictured are all to be replaced. Are you wanting to stay traditional and which color palette are you working with (do you know yet)? As far as the rest of the set, do those pieces meet you needs from a functional standpoint? If not, make some changes. If so, do you still like them and just want a fresh look or are you really tired of the set? Are you feeling tied to something that you don't know how to freshen up or that you don't really want to? How do you feel about painting or stripping and restaining. Could you DIY? Those questions are your starting point as far as I'm concerned. I don't toss furniture lightly, but I have moved a lot around from room to room. ;-) It looks like you have a lot of books. You could consider and end table with one or more shelves or even a bookcase on one side by the chair. I prefer a dresser that is nearly cleared, not covered, and just a few accessories. As I focus on that, I think your accessories are dating the room even more than the furniture. The dusty rose and green velvet as well as the red rose pillows are an older look. If you want something different, get updated pillow covers. I think you can use your quilts and give them new life just by accenting with updated pillows. I'd clear the dresser and start over. No runner, no frames -- just a couple of items that have some color and interest (I have a hand blow glass vase and a dresser tray with a painting above them -- no mirror). Seeing the crown on the center mirror, I think I'd replace the trio with a new, non-matching mirror. New lamps -- there are so many pretty options. Glass, dark metal or possibly simple chunky crystal would be what I'd be looking for, but you could find many options -- stone, marble, stained glass, etc. Get some art on the walls. HomeGoods might be a place to look for accessories, lamps, mirror -- even art from time to time, if you have one near by. I think you can change the accessories and get a lot of mileage out of a lot less money than new furniture. The one piece I'd be most likely to replace (other than the mirror) would be the nightstand. It seems low and small by today's standards and it looks like you could use something larger with a bookshelf and drawers below.

in looking at just the one wall with the blue tape, I think it will look great, it's not too crowded. heres a few rooms to show a similar layout. you will need to get substantial lamps to go on each side table and you might consider mirrors above the side tables or some art on each side to make the two sides a bit taller to help with scale of the tall headboard. it can look great.

I think it’s all the white giving it hospital vibes. You could keep it that color and change the room color. It’s very bright with everything white. You could do a couple different things with the furniture. Sand them down and start over with a warmer white or even do a gray wash.

Sharon thank you for your input, I was thinking of maybe some kind of wallpaper behind vanity mirrors, its about 7 feet wide space, with blush peonies or something?
