Found a rug for my bedroom but ....
I purchased a new rug for my bedroom as I am trying to create a bit of a different style in that room. It is funny as I wanted a new rug for my living room but could not find one that I liked.
I laid out the bedroom rug in my living room to take a good look at it and I am loving it! I want to use it in my living room. I just need to make a couple of tweaks so that it works well in my space.
I have some super vividly saturated paintings that I have been meaning to tone down for at least a decade and now I am forcing myself to do so as it will help with using the new rug in my living room. I also just purchased some great kilim pillow covers for my 20x20 pillows on my sofa. I am super exited!
I still want to buy another rug (the same one) for my bedroom as I love it so much!
It is really difficult to capture the accurate color of the rug. The art I need to tone down. I am 100% open to replacing it as I am getting so bored with looking at it. I painted these when I was 27 years old and that was a very long time ago!
The rug which is impossible to photograph as it looks in real life!
The pillows I purchased for my sofa that are 20 x 20 and hopefully will look good with everything.
Here is a photo of the rug as it really does look in my opinion, posted by another on the site from which I purchased it. I really just love it so much and it was super affordable!!
I am so looking forward to pulling it all together! I also love the bed in the last photo and am planning on purchasing one very similar for my bedroom. ;)

*finally* found the right fixture for my low-ceiling bedroom!
Comments (58)Thanks southernheart :) I know it's not everyone's taste, but I thought I'd share because we have a 70s house with the 8' ceilings and it's been nigh on to impossible to find an interesting ceiling fixture, much less one that reflects 'us' as much as this one does. It reflects us so much that last night realized what it's been reminding me of this whole time: amphibian egg masses! :) Backstory: DD and DH volunteered last year and are about to do so again this year with Metro, the local environmental authority, to find and monitor amphibian egg masses in one of Metro's preserves. They loved doing it, loved writing up field notes, it's become a strangely large part of our lives--because of last year's field notes DD's maybe going to write field notes about wildlife observation at the preserve in general -- pretty big honor for an 11 yo :) -- and darned if the little cipollini don't look like amphibian egg masses, some bigger, some smaller, some that didn't 'take' at all...so it's a wonderful, if somewhat odd, sign of spring up there :) (and don't worry, we won't share our personal image with any potential buyers when they come through years from now LOL) pbrisjar, I've been there the first year it opened, to get DH some unreal chocolates for VDay. OH yeah, it's definitely great. If you come visit, we'll go there, o.k.? :)...See MoreBedRoom: Area Rug on Carpeted Floor and Under the Bed
Comments (12)I did that in my guest room - no problem at all. The carpet is pretty low pile and the rug is a fairly thick sculpted type oriental. I have no pad under the rug. I also have a very short, dense wool oriental rug on the carpet in my living room. That also works fine. I have all these rugs on carpet because I moved from a house with wood floors to one with more carpet. I hope to get rid of the carpet someday when I feel like moving everything again. So then I will need the rugs and in the meantime I can't stand the plain beige carpet. In another room I have a thick wool runner that covers the width of carpet from the deck door to the wood floor in the dining area. It has no furniture on it that holds it in place so it ripples a bit. I need to find a way to keep it flat....See MoreWhich Rug Choice for My Master Bedroom?
Comments (7)chispa, I agree that our winter quilt is not the perfect match, but we had no other place to put this rug, and I hope it will look better with the summer quilt which is cream with some embroidered flowers (the shams in pictures 2 and 3 are actually from the summer quilt set, which we use the most). Yayagal, I love the fact that you understand my style, even though it's not exactly in vogue right now. It's a good thing that we have at least one place where we can express ourselves freely, although other people's opinions are often useful to show us where our blind spots are....See MoreHelp with Area Rug and Nightstands, Lamps in my Bedroom
Comments (6)Looking good so far. Maybe whitewash the nightstands? Will require stripping, then just mix white paint with water - which is an easy way to whitewash: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1e2dC3VaOo Secondly, change the hardware on nightstands to make them appear more french provincial? Then add a rug.

10 months agolast modified: 10 months agoFun, I completely agree. I think I am going to use some different art on that wall.
These are a couple that I mocked up from some prints I purchased. I have a couple of other pieces that I might reframe and use on that wall as well. We shall see. These are def not to scale!
These are 24X36
I also have these. They look wonky. Each image with the mat is 16" wide and 20" tall.amykath

I think I am just going to start from scratch on the wall above my sofa. Here is what I have so far.I am sure this is not to scale nor color. However it is as close as I am going to get at this point.
