Bedroom Ideas

Glenn and I have spent a few afternoons over the last couple weeks going to furniture stores. I know! Amazing. Glenn even voluntarily watches HGTV. I guess the home-buying bug has gotten to him now too since it is our own home. Whatever it is, I'm enjoying it!

Since we have approximately 500 more square feet than we've ever had in the past in our new master bedroom, I've been looking for inspiration and ideas. It's difficult to decide where to start! Rugs? Curtains? Bedding? Since I spent a bunch of money on new rugs before we left Japan at a rug auction (in hopes that we would have wood floors, which we do! Phew!) I plan on basing some of the rooms around those. We'll need one more I think for the living room, but that's a whole other post.

I'm thinking a blue/tan/white/brown color scheme of some sort. Here are a few pics I found...

I love the bed in this room an the addition of the aqua blue. Our bathroom has limited storage so I'm thinking about buying this guy off of craigslist and painting it that color, but I've got to get back in the house to measure the space to make sure it fits. China cabinet in the bathroom? Why not. White bedding is not going to work though. We've got a puppy dog that loves to sleep in/on our bed.

 This bedding could work though. Or something similar since it's not available.

 This color scheme is similar to the first. I like the paisley bedding. That would hide Stella hair. I like the mix of texture and pattern too.

A storage bench at the end of the bed would be a good idea. I know IKEA still sells these curtains too. Blue lamps with white shades would be easy to do with a can of spray paint.

From what I remember when I bought the rug during the first week of October. This is similar in color to it. Starburst mirrors are all the rage now too. Perhaps I'll have to DIY for our bedroom.
