And to go along with the Wild Stallion

So now that we have a new wall color in our bedroom, I am now on the full blow decorating and accessorizing hunt.  To start off bedding, the husband rules are the following:

1. No Flower patterns 
2. No Fu Fu Stuff
3. No Pinks, no purples 

You getting the trend here?  So this is what I have come up with, not too many ruffles, not pink and I can dress it up with some quirky sheets and some fabulous pillows - and if I get tired I can update with new sheet and new pillow - I don't think Bryan is quite aware of my long term decorating plans here but he will figure it out sooner or later - right now I want to add some yellows and reds to the room....

Urban Outfitters - who do have a great selection of ruffly bedding that I have been repeatedly told no to

Maybe something like this for the sheets - verdict is still out

 So to add color to the room - and save it from gray blandness or from the over powering "stallion-ness" of the wall I want to hang 3 pictures above the bed, haven't chosen those yet, but I have chosen the pegs/knobs that I want to hang them from (with chain-a light weight chain - going for a more industrial feel in the room rather than the usual ribbon choice):

From lovely Anthropologie where I can only afford door pulls - but can still dream non the less

Again lovely Anthropologie

And one more for good measure - Anthropologie

 So the new quest is curtains - which just might come from Ikea - really who can go wrong there?  The curtains are always long (which I am taking to my advantage to pretend that my window are much grander than they currently are) they are a reasonable price - and if I want to change then I can with out guilt. Oh and a few pillow here and there too...


The good news is that this little project is a lot cheaper than redoing our bathroom, quite a lot cheaper than a kitchen renovation and it gives me a project to get my creative side going!  I am so excited. Really I am.  Paint can do so much and change a room so much... we now have a direction!!!


So pick up a paint brush get rid of the bland!  You might just get a new room out of it ;)


P.S.  These were a few of the ruffles that vetoed, sometimes I wish we had separate beds so that I could get my girlie bed...sigh the sacrifices for love...
