Bedroom Makeover so far...

My new bed and bedding.

It all started when HH and I decided to get a new bed because our old sleighbed hindered HH from being able to stretch out and it was a huge hassle to make the bed. So we stopped by Ethan Allen. It just so happens someone had ordered the above headboard, but they ordered it in the wrong size. We loved it and it was 1/2 off the original price-SOLD.

Our red and gold bedding just did not go with this tan headboard, and our gold walls - UGH!

So we found a new duvet and painted the walls blue / green. Picking the color for the walls was a nightmare. The duvet is silk and changes color with the lighting in the room. Sometimes greenish, sometimes bluish. The paint would match in the morning, but not in the afternoon. I must have bought 20 sample cans of paint. (Notice how the word pain makes up most of the word paint?) Finally I picked the paint that matched in the morning and complimented in the afternoon.

Next came the pillows. I bought the two cream colored ones and I made the snow leopard pillows and the pillow in the middle of them. Took me only about two days and that's because I made the first one way too big. . I am a terrible measurer (if that's a word). My girlfriends gave me the two small long pillows.

Here is a close up of the duvet.

I've now opened a can of worms. I need a chandelier, shutters and wood flooring to complete my room. Then I must paint the rest of the house...
