I've not had a definite idea for the bedroom. I've just went with what I had already, which after moving from a fully furnished 5 bedroom house- is not a lot. Instead of rushing in I have waited and gathered ideas.
I am an artist and cannot live without something of visual interest on the walls, so I painted up frames from charity shops, or if I found one from a professonal framers - I worked an image around the framing. I noticed after I framed up some wildflowers that it was become a bit country, a bit washed out and very homely. I usually go for opulence (this time I am saving it for the spare bedroom with a Rococco theme) but am planning to go a lot more simple. Here's what I have so far
I ordered some mosquito netting as I'm one of those people who get bitten constantly and took a dreadful reaction last year, I think another 2 nets in pink and white will make it "full" enough for my taste. I love princess canopies but this is more practical.
I have some of my grandmothers furniture and curiously enough my old bedhead. I have 5 pugs so we have 2 double beds pushed together lengthways to make a very good sized bed, although only Dot, the smallest pug sleeps with us we do not remain undisturbed as she likes to go in between us. I put a long pillow at the bottom for her to rest her head on which she sometimes uses though. There's a decoupage chest at the foot of the bed. I think it needs storage either side, Mine for cozy scarves & knits. His for MAN THINGS. I have some ugly grey dressers that are hiding in plain sight so I will get some grey storage to match.
I am very fond of bunnies and pink but I didn't want to pink the rest of the house although it has already been bunnied up.
The other side of the room is a white wardrobe, chest, gilt full length mirror & ensuite. I forgot to take pictures! I am framing up some art of our pugs in white baroque frames for the walls, and ordering a cute desk, I don't think any room is complete without a working area. I love this one below from ikea, although a corner desk may fit better. The en suite hasn't been touched yet, but the walls will be a washed out
salmon pink. I quite like the idea of a decoupage ceiling Ala Mr.
Peacocks blog entry Decoupage your ceiling I will be adding black & white bunnies & roses.
Possible pug prints
Flicking through mooks for inspo, I found this. I love the green/pink combination. Perhaps I will dress up with the bed with a green throw or make some cute green bow canvases as a simple decoration.
I love this desk!
I have the Lolita dream of an entire room for my clothes, makeup & accessories, so there's very little need for it here,only getting a slim wardrobe for my partners clothes and a rack for my daily wear. I will be blogging more about my home after I make a furniture order.
