first of all, let's take a peek at two visions i had for the room.
idea a....my initial thought for the space. hollywood regency....glamour....a scoshe [scosh? scoach? i love scotch. scotchy scotch scotch.] kelly wearstler....lots of black + white + a bit of gold.
to the tune of this metro home bedroom....
[yeah and btdubs, that wall, its totally handpainted. amazing huh?!]
or this:
via curbly
idea b....a softer look. loads of whites....airy....fresh....eclectic. perhaps some pink, some red, some pale gold, some gray.
and here's our room in its current condition:
our room has always been white, back from when i picked all the paint colors during the building process....i just knew from the start that i wanted a light + breezy cloudy cream puff of a boudoir. to be honest, i would have done many more white walls in our house for a truly contemporary feel but i scared myself out of it from a practicality standpoint. i figured our bedroom was the safest place to go wintery white since only the hubs + i would be in there [vs. the rest of the house being a kid zone eventually].
now you may recall the dresser reference from months past. well that little diddy turned out quite well, if i do say so myself. a dozen odd coats of spray paint is all it took. [um, yes, that was sarcasm....spraypainting a single vase = fun. spraypainting a six foot long dresser = not fun]. we picked up those fun futuristic knobs from menards, home of good deals and boy-part jokes aplenty.
all in all we've got some lovely components going on, i'd say. but its pretty much been a frozen winterscape for a while now of dresser....bed....side tables....and yeah. that's it.
anyone wanna unleash their inner sarah richardson + give me some feedback? black + white hollywood glam, or ultra light ultra mod? speak up, y'all!
LIZ! I miss seeing you around here at Calvin, but I do enjoy catching up on your home projects via your blog. :) I'm going to cast a vote for ultra light ultra mod. I just love soft pink and gold with the touch of gray - seems like a bedroom should be dreamy!
