Well, we got the bedroom all painted. It looks fantastic, it really does.
But, depending on what you have in the room – it has a blue hue to it. This is very much not good, considering my color scheme is white, black, gray and green.
*sigh*
So, here it is. Keep in mind, I’ve still got some things to do. Obviously, I’m not going to have a maroon colored lampshade in there and I’m going to buy new shams/pillow cases. I also haven’t hung a single picture on the wall…well, except the black mirror above the bed.
I also need to do some nick nack shpoping – plus, we’ve got to get a book shelf for the big empty wall on the one side of the bed.
Here, take a look – tell me what you think:
As I was saying, disregard the lamps, the wrinkles in the pillow cases and the fact that there doesn’t seem to be much to it. The blanket is new – it’s like a pretty granny smith apple green. I also recovered the headboard – it was covered in brown/blue, but now it’s an all black brocade-like fabric. It’s really pretty.
Here, this is the fabric on the headboard:
Here is another view from the other side of the bedroom.
Here is the ‘head on’ view from the foot of the bed.
I think I like it. I’ve never really finished my room. We’ve gotten started a few times, but I usually end up frustrated and I quit. We are planning on getting rid off the crappy floor lamps – we’re thinking ceiling fan?
Also – as far as bed side lamps – how would hanging pendent lights look hanging over the night stands? We’d have to hang them then run the cord down behind the curtain – so I’m not sure. Thoughts on that idea?
If anyone has any tips/advice – that’d be great.
I’m going to hang some of my personal photos on the walls…but it looks like the one photo that inspired this color scheme isn’t actually going to work out, unless I opt to use black and white photos – which is still very much an option.
As for the medical stuff – I’m doing ok today for the most part. I’m super tired and I’m looking forward to my ‘day of rest’ tomorrow. No news really – the Dr. hasn’t called me since Friday – so I assume I’m doing ok number wise

Looks great!! I think the pendant lamps are a great idea, and would hang them to just below the top of the headboard, and would use some cord covers when mounting them to the ceiling and wall. The candlesticks look great, but I would move the inner ones each out a couple of inches so they’re not even with mirror. i like the way the fabric color matches the more contemporary decor, but the brocade pattern adds your own flair. Add a bit more of that in your accents in other areas of the room. Maybe use another brocade fabric as a backdrop/mat for a framed photo, then have another photo in a black or white brocade frame. That should be just enough to stick with the color theme yet have it all relate. As for lighting, another option is a lucite lamp–seems like it would fit in your space quite nicely. Great job!
I am the last one you want decorating advice from, but I had to pop in to say how much I like the color of that bedspread. Gorgeous!
