To start off with this is the hard wood color that will be through out the house
Dutch Licorice... it is a dark gray that isn't so dark you can't see the variations in the grain and wood.
And here is the layout of our bedroom...
For the wall color I want something dramatic and romantic. It needs to be a dark color on the walls. Our bed is a white wash with a yellowish pink undertone. You can see in the pictures of our old house the color of the wood. The truest coloring is in the second picture below.
The wall color is Kendal Charcoal by Benjamin Moore. I am completely in love with the deep color paired with whites, blacks and creams. As shown here...
When it comes to bedding, I have always loved the elegant luxurious look, but never feel like I achieved that in our old room. I am totally digging the anthropology inspired cotton comforter with the creamy yellow and possibly I can slip in a pop of aqua somewhere. I am thinking about a few that i have pinned here.
I also like this one...
I love this tall headboard but think I might do a modified version on our existing headboard in a velvet or possibly chevron fabric. But I want it tufted and luxurious! And I don't think i want it to be that high because I like the idea of a canvas or 3 above the headboard. Definitely doing 3 large square pillows not sure what color.
See the B&W canvases in this bedroom? Wouldn't they look awesome on a Kendal Charcoal wall!!!
I also love the monogram pillow in the picture above and this west elm knock off below.
For the windows I am doing a room darkening shade and a drape beside each window. I plan on using these, from IKEA and possibly painting a chevron cream stripe at the bottom of the shade. Maybe 5-6 rows and then you would see it at all times but it wouldn't be the whole shade to be overpowering.
I have also decided to do large stripe curtains in between each window.
So here is my list of things to decide on:
1. comforter
2. rug
3. ceiling color and trim color (need to decided on bedding first)
Here is my list of things to make once those 2 decisions are made:
1. 3 canvases for over the bed.
2. Cover the existing headboard in fabric.
3. Make the Monogram on the pillows
4. Paint the shades
5. Paint the curtains.
6. Paint a rug.
Total budget for the bedroom $600. We shall see If I can keep under budget.
So far for the windows I know will be shades 149.95 for 5 because of the door + 69.98 for 2 sets of the curtain panels that I think I can squeeze a 5th panel out of. = $219.93 for window treatments... not bad considering we will not be doing blinds.
Well that's all for tonight.
