We have an almost identical layout, and the PO's built a window seat with storage. I didn't like it at first, but it does hold a lot of pillows and blankets, which is nice. I struggled with what to do with the window, and ended up with inside mount blinds and an outside mount curved rod with floor-length drapes. I should probably make a nice cusion for the seat, though.

Have you made sure that your closet has a great built-in organizer to make the best use of your space? Go through all your clothes to make sure you only have what you're actually wearing. (I need to do that right now.) I'm trying to find ways to remove one of your dressers. :-) Since things look a bit crowded with this layout--perhaps you can lay this out on paper or an online room design site to see other options. Maybe even consider a platform bed with drawers below it so you could reduce the need for both dressers if thinning your closets didn't do that. That would allow more room for the chair to fit into a corner, so you can get past it comfortably. If this is the only layout for the bed to fit, then try to find a really narrow nightstand to replace the one turned. Check your local CL for them. Then I think an open style black iron headboard might be a bit better looking than the upholstered one, though I think if the upholstered one weren't massive, and you remove a dresser, it might work also. It seems like it might be too much big dark spots otherwise since on my monitor, your dressers are looking black. Good luck!

I love those pictures with the beautiful curtains. But looking closely at my room, I'm not sure I have room for sheers to the side of the windows. The space between the window trim and room corners is not very big. If I do do curtains, would I only do them over the window behind the love seat? Not around the two windows on the wall with the bed next to the night stands right? I am definitely going to move the art. Building for the CATS, that bedding is very pretty! The lamps are also very nice... but would I have to get an electrician? I'm not sure I want to get into that... I had an electrician come last year and move a plug 12 inches in my media room and it was very difficult, time consuming, and costly b/c of the way our attic is constructed. nosoccermom, I do like the glass table, some of those overstock ones look nice. They might pick up the color of the little birds in my other table. I really like the idea of the ceramic garden stool too and I'm looking for one that would pick up the sofa colors... ingrid, not too critical at all. I do like a cozy bedroom :) k9arlene I will look for lamps... maybe blue ceramic from the prior suggestion. Thanks so much for all the suggestions. I am on the hunt for bedding now!

I'll start with a disclaimer that I'm not a guru there. with this out of the way, I'd say that your moodboard seems great to me, and your plans sound nice as well. Seeing the room itself though-or at least the rough plan-would be really helpful. Dark antique nightstands-I haven't seen them(again, maybe you can attach a photo?), but if you already have them-I'd try to make them part of the overall design, before trying newer furniture, even though OKL is a good site, generally speaking. Your mattress should be very good and you should try it in a store before buying. The frame..I guess one can get lucky with online (and I was, couple times), but the mattress is different. But you might already have the one you use and love. Upholstered pieces like armchair and bench..do you own them already, or you plan to buy them online? These, should be comfortable, and can be hit or miss, because chairs are very personal, if one can say so. Depends on one's height etc-what's great for one person isn't great at all for another. If you still decide to risk it-check a shop's return policy really well..try it right when they deliver, more upscale shops will allow you to return on the spot(or so I heard. lol). Which is of course much easier than to schedule them once again etc. Check also whether they charge restocking fees. Make sure all your dimensions are known, measure everything. With rugs, pay attention not only to colors and patterns, but whether they serve your needs. Low traffic, high traffic? Make sure they're the type that doesn't move much-you don't want tripping hazard in your bedroom, and make sure you buy a good rug pad as well. Your painting is beautiful, and if you have physical space to put it in your bedroom, and would rather enjoy it on your bedroom-I don't see any reason why not. I for one can have strong albeit illogical opinions about where art X or art Y should go, and I stick to them. If my feelings will change down the road-well then I'll act accordingly. (of course one's family sometimes dictates things. Say I have a beloved portrait of a clown, and my daughter expressed very strong desire to never see it in living areas because it freaks her out. I find him being very kind clown, but oh well. I have him next to my bed, all the better for me)) No, one doesn't decorate around the painting, not really, but one can get deeply inspired by it)) It's amazing what simple reframing of whatever we try to say, can do. Especially with your subdued, warmer colors-I don't see any need for you to make particular efforts to decorate around the painting. The painting will do just fine, as I see it. It's great enough to hold its own. Just decide where you want it-more personal space, more public space..maybe you decide you want it be the one and only painting in the room. maybe you decide it'll do fine with companions..look at it as if it was alive(and it is to some degree, to you)..consult it:) Play with it a bit..put it here, there..lean it on the floor first in different places, if you're not deadly sure where it goes. Soon you'll feel where it wants to be and where you want it to be. The dialogue should be between you and your painting, first of all. She speaks to you(she speaks to me too)-she won't stay silent:) It will be just fine. As for the exact placement-again, here we could be more useful if we knew dimensions of your space or see photos of it. But from sheer dimensions of it, narrow wall might be too narrow. Again, we don't know what's narrow. Maybe narrow is wide enough. But it needs not to feel squished. Congratulations on what sounds like a very exciting journey!
