I have long dreamed about having a well-put-together bedroom with a real bed frame and a pretty comforter.

quilts by Anthropologie
Esperanza Quilt - $228.00 »
I love the big florals and that most of the comforter is still white.
traditional sheet sets by Anthropologie
Camille Sheet Set - $118.00 »
My favorite sheets are pretty, crisp and white.
contemporary beds by Anthropologie
Italian Campaign Canopy Bed - $1,698.00 »
This has always been one of my favorite beds. It is kind of feminine, but it can also be quite masculine. I like its lines.
modern bookcases cabinets and computer armoires by Anthropologie
Green Street Shelves - $798.00 »
I read tons of books, so a bookshelf in my room to hold my current and fave reads would be nice. Of course, it would also give me more space to put pretty things too.
eclectic side tables and accent tables by Anthropologie
Genova Side Table - $298.00 »
I like the mix of the wood base and the marble top. It is a nice informal-formal mix.
eclectic table lamps by Anthropologie
Menlo Lamp - $148.00 »
Put this on my bedside table for late night reading. It is a sleek-looking light.
modern armchairs by Anthropologie
Jack Club Chair - $2,698.00 »
I love having a comfy reading/rocking chair in the bedroom, and this club chair would be my dream. I envision many late nights reading in this with a quilt draped over my legs.
eclectic pillows by Anthropologie
Live Love Pillow - $68.00 »
This pillow is especially sweet, and I would place it on a chair in the room.
eclectic artwork by Anthropologie
Thursday Evening By Claire Desjardins »
I love these types of paintings, and I would love for this to be placed off-center over my bed.
traditional candles and candle holders by Vintage Charm
Spindle Sconce, Cream - $110.00 »
Put these on the wall, please, because this vintage lighting is so cool. Just add some taper candles to them.
modern dressers chests and bedroom armoires by Rehab Vintage Interiors
Ocean Locker Unit - $1,800.00 »
I have always wanted to use lockers as a dresser in my bedroom because it is unexpected. I especially like this turquoise color.
traditional rugs by Anthropologie
Awash Rug - $2,998.00 »
With all the colors already going on in this room, I thought a subtle rug would be needed. I love the worn-in feeling of this one.
eclectic candles and candle holders by Vintage Charm
Spindle Candlestick, Brown/Cream/Aqua - $44.00 »
Add this to the bedside table, along with a little clock and some books. I like the chippy patina of this candlestick holder. Candles make a room more romantic.
modern curtain poles by Urban Outfitters
Brass Crisscross Swing Curtain Rod - $39.00 »
This bendable rod is cool because you just swing it open and close it when you want privacy.
modern curtains by Urban Outfitters
Pintuck Crochet Curtain - $89.00 »
I love simple white curtains as much as I love white walls. This one is kind of really sweet and girly. The details are really subtle.
traditional dressers chests and bedroom armoires by Three Potato Four
Antique Green Pie Safe Cabinet - $750.00 »
Add this to another side of the bed. I like this because I can hide more books inside or even store a few pillows.
traditional storage boxes by Three Potato Four
Dairy Crates - $105.00 »
I like having crates or baskets in my bedroom to store additional quilts and afghans for those especially cold nights. Vintage crates are my favorite.
modern ottomans and cubes by West Elm
Kite Kilim Floor Pouf - $249.00 »
The kilim pattern is so hip! I would put this right by my leather reading chair to prop up my feet as I relax. It could also be used as a bedside table.
modern mirrors by West Elm
Metal Floor Mirror - $299.00 »
This simple full-length mirror is so beautiful. I like that the mirror is so large and can be the focal point, but there is still a little frame around it that makes it stand out from the wall.
eclectic clocks by L.L. Bean
1931 Big Ben Alarm Clock - $39.95 »
A vintage replica, this little clock would be perfectly placed on a bedside table. It is as pretty as it is functional, and it's not an eyesore.
