Daydreams of a bedroom makeover!

If you're anything like me, changing your bedroom is somewhat therapeutic.  You can indulge yourself in luxuriousness and let the sweet dreams start flowing.  I love being on the hunt for new and vintage items to help make my bedroom a relaxing escape.


I'm currently lusting over padded headboards.  I love the vintage/french/royal look of these beds.  There is something so warm and comfy about them.

I am mesmerized by the mix of patterns in this photo.  Starting to think maybe wallpaper in my bedroom is a fabulous idea!  The settee is to die for also!

Nightstands are a staple in every bedroom.  Why not make them just as spectac?

The headboard was a cheap find and sprayed black and paired with inexpensive Target side tables and white glass lamps. We layered it using bold graphics and a punch of color. , Bedrooms Design

Master BRM - Make it Work, My wife and I had the opportunity to stage and live in a 3000 SF new build this past year and had the challenge of furnishing the space on a limited budget, so little to say we borrowed from our own home and got creative. One dilemma was the master bedroom. We had no money left over for a headboard and we were pressed for time before the designer showhouse, so within 24 hours we came up with a quick solution -- we designed a bold graphic in AutoCad, dropped it into Illustrator, sent it off to be plotted and created a large stencil. We cut out the design, laid it out on the wall, grabbed a gold Sharpie marker and started the process of creating a cool wall design in lieu of a headboard. We can't take all the credit, we had lots of help from our design assistant, Sarah. Thank you for coming to the rescue and pulling it all together! Cost $22. Time 9 hours. , Bedrooms Design

There is one thing I can't get enough of, and that is picture frames!  They are effortlessly beautiful clustered all together on the wall or one by itself.

Bedrooms are best kept without too much clutter and free of unnecessary furniture.  One thing I will never part with is some type of seating.  How else can I comfortably put on heels?
