Any thoughts on painting the bed and nightstands black to match the dreser? I think that would look awesome. The print above the mirror definitely needs a new frame--something bulkier. What about doing a large mirror there? Mirrors are great for any room. It opens up the space. I also think you should mount the tv on the wall. It shouldn't be on a dresser. That frees up any decorating space you have there. A long, shallow bowl with some candlesticks for heighth will help on that. I hope this helps you with some ideas. It's coming along very nicely!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04104902370063783977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3046664536466840523.post-41623421335756944932008-08-14T11:54:00.000-06:002008-08-14T11:54:00.000-06:00check out http://nestingplacenc.blogspot.com/she h...check out http://nestingplacenc.blogspot.com/<BR/>she has a lot of good ideas for window "mistreatments." she's huge on repurposing too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11376151415916185543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3046664536466840523.post-4910954597528108072008-08-13T13:51:00.000-06:002008-08-13T13:51:00.000-06:00Roxy, The wicker chair and curtains are from Pier ...Roxy, <BR/><BR/>The wicker chair and curtains are from Pier One.

As far as the curtains, it's so funny that you suggested to use rings b/c that was what I was originally going to do and didn't. Should've went with my instint. I will buy the rings which means we'll have to bring the curtain rod up a bit but that is okay. Already found a STAR MIRROR for above the bed. It's gorgeous. Will post a picture tonight.Desireehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06576849886370274684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3046664536466840523.post-9692317010899039772008-08-13T12:10:00.000-06:002008-08-13T12:10:00.000-06:00Hey there, I saw your comment on Just Beachy and t...Hey there, I saw your comment on Just Beachy and thought I would stop by and check out your makeover. Love the colors you chose, the drapes and the dresser. I think you need to warm up the room a bit. Rod iron is a good way to go. Maybe some sort of iron wall art over the bed. Just make sure it is large enough for that wall. Maybe even paint the walls. Since you have chosen warm colors for the bedding and curtains, maybe a nice grey blue for the walls. I also think you could put some mirrors on the walls in a grouping. I just saw some at Michaels that were on clearance. Originally 29.99 they were down to $6. We put some up at my MIL house and they look great. They are square, maybe 10x10 and have that sort of vintage look where there are spots on the mirror to make them look aged. Oh and the frame gives the illusion of a picture frame, but there is also mirror on the bevel all the way around. Maybe 3 on each side of the window. <BR/><BR/>Hope this helps. Good luck. I'll be sure to come back and check out what you have done.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00705186147281239555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3046664536466840523.post-26494728789375730112008-08-13T09:01:00.000-06:002008-08-13T09:01:00.000-06:00I love what you've done.

You need some mirrors , I think with black frames, over the bed I think that would be nice a group of mirrors with black frames, I will suggest you paint the walls Glidden reflecting pool 10GG 62/026 , souvenir 10GG 53/030 for the bed wall only. Would you paint the bed and side table black? I think it would bring it all together . Ok there is what I think would help , do not switch your door it will make you crazy on the other side. <BR/>Good luck with your room.Chris Kauffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01484823325531182507noreply@blogger.com
