The bedroom is looking way better already

Interior Decorating, The Victorian

As you may have noticed a few weeks ago, the bedroom is going blue.  It is blue now, actually, I finished painting it yesterday.

It’s a light, grayed blue with a hint of purple in it–like a grayed periwinkle.  The color goes well with the rest of the house, but it’s a little more romantic feeling, which is a good thing for a bedroom.

So much brighter than before!

The bedroom will still be a little rustic, with natural elements (wood finishes, iron, textured wool and cotton) like the rest of the house.  And to tone down the sweetness of the blue, the trim and accents in the room will be my favorite soft white and almost-black.  Both the white and the black are used throughout the whole house.

The bed will be replaced with something less contemporary.  I’d love a headboard like one of these:

Industrial Bedroom by Portland Interior Designers & Decorators Jessica Helgerson Interior Design

 

Eclectic Bedroom by North Hollywood Architects & Designers Bliss Design Firm

But we’ll see.

First, we need to paint the ceiling, fix up the ceiling beams and install the moulding that’s in a pile on the floor.

Re-Painted (6)

The colors are: Martha Stewart’s Etched Glass (blue), Tailor’s Chalk (white), and Weathervane (black).

    I love the beams in your bedroom! And the colour you choose is a lovely shade of blue.

    Really calm, really pretty, hope you fall asleep there easier (I remember you had some trouble with that earlier)
    Still some work to do, but I’m sure you’ll finish it fast once you get going.

      Aw, thank you! That is a good point, it feels so fresh and open in there, it probably will help me sleep better!

Ugly photo time! We're doing the $100 Room Challen Ugly photo time! We're doing the $100 Room Challenge on our dining room (that you guys haven't even seen the "before" of yet). It's a super fun challenge to stay within $100 and makeover a room in a month. We're behind schedule, but there has actually been progress. I'll try to remember to share here, but there's more on the blog! LittleVictorian.com
