for the bedroom... i definitely want something that is dreamy, romantic and fem. having a design that is very modern and contemporary in the bedroom is not as important to me as it would be in the living and dining areas... but im not looking for anything with victorian style either. definitely still clean lines with a little bit of glam.
i think this bedroom captures everything i can and cannot put in words. if this can't get me a good night's sleep... i don't know what can.
some of my favorite things in this design:
the tufted headboard is such a statement and the softness is nice... in case your head bumps it... for whatever reason ;) centsational girl has a great tutorial for tufted headboards as well as ones for other upholstered headboards as well. do yourself a fav and check it out.
the mirrored nightstand is so great. i didn't even see it the first time i passed by this photo.. its half cut out on the left side of the picture. mirrored furniture is so glamorous. its super hot and popping up in posh designs all over. if you're not willing to put in work... be prepared to drop some Gs for it. however... with some silver leaf, spray paint and/or old mirror... you could easily transform a second hand piece of furniture for a fraction of the moolah.
things i would change...
the rug, on the other hand, gag! what happened here? to add to the luxurious feel... i would probably just buy some faux fur fabric and throw it down. to save money... i will probably cut three strips and sew it into a "U" pattern. this way, i only have to pay for the part that would show around the bed. why pay for it if its going to be hidden UNDER the bed collecting dust? real bunnies... adorable! dust bunnies.. not so much.
look at this rug below... so soft! imagine waking up in the freezing NH winter morning and your feet get greeted by this...
*kessasue*
i would also include a nice little bench at the foot of the bed.. like this design. or maybe even a family of ottoman. i love ottomans... and by love i mean obsessed... but thats for a different story.
a velvet headboard is very romantic... which is appropriate for the bedroom, right? the crystal chandelier overhead is very glam too.. but a bit too old schooled glamour for me. however... because the rest of the bed is white.. i think having some texture with the headboard would be interesting and shake up the white on white.
sometimes i think i want damask in the bedroom... but after having it for two years in a row... i think im ready to move on. however... damask is romantic and gorgeous. if you're in the mood for it... do it!
well i think this is good for right now... especially since my name isn't on the condo.. yet! next things to think about 1) close it and put that sucker in the bag 2) office space 3) patio 4) basement
