I figured it was about time I showed you all my bedroom. Not just part of it.......the whole thing. There are parts of my bedroom that I love, and parts that I don't!
I was hoping if I showed all you lovely ladies in blog land what I have, you could help me figure out what I need to make it work better and look prettier.
So, here goes!!

I Love My bedding, and I like the shape of the lamps and the shade, but I think the lamps are too small. What do you think? |
I love my wall crosses. I found them at the Salvation Army and they remind me of Calvary! |
I thought I would show you my side of the bed, while I enjoy the last days of my roses. They smelled so wonderful! |
Not brave enough to show you the inside of our closet! |
I was thinking about replacing the hardware with antique brass hardware? |
Love the area rug, it used to be in our living room at the old house. I think it "works" in here. |
Close up of the bedding. |
I love the candle sticks, and the medallion. I don't like the jewelry box, but haven't found anything else stylish to replace it with. Any ideas? |
I sent away for my free Valspar paint sample, and this is the color I was thinking about for the furniture. Now I am worried about it being too dark. I just don't know. |
Here is the color next to the bedding. |
i love the color you picked out, your room is beautiful. thanks so much for sharing this at my party!!

Ditto what Faith Hope Cherrytea said...I love your openness to creativity and change. I love your bedding, the crosses, and the stuff above your bed.
ReplyDeleteI think you have a lot of dark elements in the room, which can make it look a lot smaller than it probably is. I'd go for painting the furniture and switching out the hardware.
I'd also pull the lightest color from your bedding (is it a really light khaki?) and maybe make a window treatment like a lined roman shade in that light color.
I also think that bigger lamps (maybe some neat clear glass ones or chunky white) with neutral shades to match the window treatments would help too.
I agree with you about the vanity...it's lovely, but it looks like it's taking up a lot of space. I've seen a lot of women who don't have headboards place their beds under the window. Have you tried that? Would it open up your floor plan and make some more room?
Thank you so much for joining my Weekend Bloggy Reading party. Have fun finding a new read or two, and I hope you'll visit me at Serenity Now again soon. :)
I love your bedding! It's gorgeous! I love the paint color, but I do think it's a little dark for all of the dark accessories you have in the room. I'm with Amanda - pull the lighter shade out of your bedding. Is it khaki or light golden color? That would be really pretty. I just realized how similar your bedding is to my mom's bedding. Her walls are a khaki color, her furniture is black and her window treatments are like a beige color and it's not too dark in her room. It's really pretty so I think the lighter pain would make all the difference.
ReplyDeleteI would agree that your room is a little crowded with furniture. I get very attached and sentimental about my furniture, but is there somewhere else you could move the vanity? in another room maybe?
I'm visiting from Amanda's.
