I love to have a peaceful and restful room to relax in at the end of the day. I wish more people would pay attention to their bedrooms instead of leaving it for last or maybe even never! We all need our own special spaces to get a wonderful night’s rest. I have so many ideas and projects I want to do for our room. I hope that they can all be accomplished in 2011!
The first thing we did in our room was paint the walls a dark grey (Gray Area by Behr). Our attached master bath was painted navy (December Eve by Behr). I LOVE the combination. I hope in 2011 we can get the ceilings, baseboards and crown molding painted white.
The second thing we did was get our bedding. I found the black and white version of the Waverly Garden Lattice at a local store but they couldn’t order the navy. Thanks to the world wide web, I found the navy version and my mom made us a duvet and matching shams! The large Euro shams have been used in three bedrooms running. They were first hot pink and lime green for my college apartment, then they were dark brown for our chocolate and light blue bedroom in the last house and now navy for our grey and navy bedroom! Mom just keeps adding fabric and keeping the stuffing ‘fluffed.’ Love them!
Next on the list for our bed is a headboard. I want an over-sized, tufted headboard in a creamy-linen fabric. I don’t want to pay a fortune either so I can’t wait to attempt to make my own! This will once again be a project that when I say “I”, I really mean Conner, my mom, her compressor nail gun and I will be attempting to do this ourselves using this DIY tutorial.
This one is from West Elm and I love the tiled mirrors on top of the mirror! It is so unique and gorgeous! The price is better ($359 with only $35 for shipping) but still nowhere close to what I want to spend. This means it has great DIY project potential! I made several mirrors with frames in high school so I’m excited to see if I am able to accomplish this one as well.
Right now, we have a very ugly and very brown ceiling fan in our bedroom. It has to go! I want something unique and luxurious instead. This one is from Horchow and is absolutely amazing! I love the tiered look and all of the circle mirrors on it.
Then I started thinking that we might want something shorter so you’re not overwhelmed with lighting when you walk in the room. This one is also from Horchow and is so funky and fun! I like that it would also bring another pattern in the room but not color-specific. I love lighting so this decision will be a fun one to make!
Hopefully we get started on these projects soon! I’ll be sure to post updates as we make progress on the room. Here’s to 2011 and all of our new resolutions!
P.S. I’m linking up to The Nester’s Home Goals party!

Wow! Looks like you'll be busy in the new year. I love those lighting fixtures from Horchow and your fabric choices are so fun and graphic. Can't wait to see the fainting couch reveal.
Saw your post on the Nester….I love all your ideas and goal…Good luck!!!
[…] I want to do. This includes a floor mirror in our bedroom that I’ve been thinking about since January of 2011. I think I’m going crazy, y’all. Seriously […]
