Wanted to share....

I was thinking about how many times I have tried and failed at getting my bedroom the way I wanted it. Finally, I just decided to base it all on inspiration photos. I have never really done so for a bedroom. For whatever reason this bedroom was hard for me to decorate.

I had just posted this on another thread and wanted to share my inspiration pics and my room. I think it really helped and I got the vibe I was going for!

BTW.. sorry to those who have seen my bedroom in my dilemma posts on here! I am sure you are sick of seeng it! haha

Thanks for reading and for all the help everyone has given me on this forum. I would be LOST without it and all of you!

    It's perfect and I definitely see how it's related to the inspiration picture.

    Your bed area looks so serene! Now, come do mine. lol

    Amy :You can go see oakley but THEN you have to come see me and do my room....that looks great. I love the idea of the mirror behind the lamp !! Now you got my wheels spinning. I think the use of the inspiration pics is a great one and you did and still made it your own. Love the headboard too and the bed linens. c

    I didn't realize yours wasn't another inspiration picture. It's so peaceful.

    You've done a beautiful job.

    You guys are seriously so sweet!!!!

    Trail... if you consider the gulf of Mexico at all Atlantic! haha

    Onedog3cats... I made my headboard out of an old door. Added some moulding and legs and voila! It was once painted black and in this bedroom in my old house (miss that bedroom!) That was years ago. I guess I have been on this forum asking for advice for EVERYTHING for the last ten years! haha

    Here is a shot of the headboard while still appearing doorlike (no the man holding it was not nude... he had on shorts ;)

    You do great work! Especially love the mirror leaning behind the bedside table.

    OMG, I remember your other bedroom. Weren't you looking for a chair for the other side of the room? It came out great! I don't remember seeing the finished product. And here you've gone and done it again. Looks fantastic!

    Btw, I like that PB inspiration shot too. Can't decide whether I want to get rid of my porcelain blue and go all white.

  • natal

    Meant to ask ... what color were the walls in your other bedroom?

  • homeagain

    Love it... PB has such great staging. Your room would fit right in!

    Thanks for showing your door headboard. I've been looking for an old door to do this in my son's room as he is moving up to a "big" bed.

    Your room is wonderful! Love the white on the headboard and that mirror placement is inspired!

  • onedog3cats

    Wow! Never would've imagined that was a door! Great work. Your previous bedroom is as amazing as your new one!! Thanks for sharing.

    LOL at the "naked" man :)

    You guys are so sweet!

    Natal- I cannot believe you remember the whole chair in the bedroom thread from years ago. I wished I could tell you the name of the color but it was a mix I put together. For some reason most of my paint results in a self mix. haha

    And yes.. we should ALL have naked men helping us make a haedboard! haha

    I think that it's really good to see how members have taken their own spaces and transformed them w/ the help of inspiration pics.

    I think that too often many people (not nec. talking about GWers but in general) try to copy an inspiration picture exactly and in the end aren't as thrilled as they thought that they would be.

    You've shown how to take an inspiration pic, interpret it and make it your own while maintaining the same general look and feel as the inspiration pic.

    Well done!
