Do you like this headboard?

16 years ago

This is the bedroom for now but in the next house the room might be different but the furnishings will stay the same.

I would get the pewter / silver finish.

Also I am thinking of adding these flower scans I created. They are framed with white mats and black frames.

    What headboard? You mean the bed in your second picture? It's whatever you like. Looks like my bedding in my guest bedroom which is Ralph Lauren Winter White or AKA Hopechest. If it was my bedroom and my bed was against the window, personally it would bother me. Everything looks very clean and sterile!! I also like the prints. I can see them mounted on white and framed in black. Have fun.

    I like the headboard in the pewter finish. I also think the prints will look great!

    I love the headboard and think those pictures will add some nice accent colors to the room...sounds like they are nicely matted and framed.

    I love the headboard and the pewter finish will look great with your pretty bedding and black accents.

    I love your lamp! Where did you get it?

    lovely room Eileen. and the flowers are beautiful! Like the headboard too

    I like the bed but I think something more beefy is in order--in contrast to the lamp and nightstand.

    I think everything you are thinking about is great -- love the bed, the prints, the room!

  • 16 years ago

    Yes I like the headboard/bed. It's timeless. The room looks great.

    I love your flower scans, you clever girl!

    What's bothering me is the drapes. They look . . . saggy. Can you weight the corners? Or maybe try different drapes there? How about long ones that go clear to the floor?

    I love the headboard. Love the colors in the photo's. They will look gorgeous. Can't wait to see them framed and on the wall. Are you a decorator, you have the touch that's for sure.

    Thanks all!! The walls behind the bed and to right of bed are masonry so I had to use masonry bits to drill into the wall to hang the heavier art pieces, mirror, and the blinds behind the drapes and drapery rods.

    Juddgirl, the lamp came from Target several years ago

    Oceanna, the drapes do go to the floor

    Here are pics of the rest of the room:

    Eileen - I can't tell you how much I admire the way you've kept yourself and your collections together through the difficult times you've had. Throughout your various places your sure decorator's touch has created such pretty spaces, and this bedroom is lovely, especially its "picture" walls. I love the mix of styles and frames; it says "true collector" to me. Could you tell us about the pencil/pen sketches of the two rooms in the final photo you posted? Were all the pics on that wall done by the same artist? You?

    Oh, and I like the headboard also! But I wouldn't mind a solid wood in a walnut or espresso color, either.

    In the last photo I drew the 4 art pieces on the left. The dog head was drawn by Michael the now deceased gorilla friend of the signing gorilla Koko. On the wall by the door I drew those three charcoal drawings. On the wall near the lamp the water color on the left is mine; the pencil portrait was a self portrait my daughter did in high school. Of course, the lithograph is not mine. The small drawing top right on this same wall is a self portrait of mine with a series of moon eclipse pics I found online and a greeting card that I scanned in and enlarged to print out as art.

    Thanks so much for your kind words and suggestions.

    So you are also an artist. That makes it easy to hang originals on your walls! Anyway, I like your work. Don't forget to post again when you've framed and hung the flower prints.

    VERY pretty!

    Had no clue you were an artist. I don't think you ever mentioned it. No wonder you are tied to your decorating.

    I too love those charcoal drawings on the last photo to the left. My kind of deal. Can we see more?

    Glad you are settling in. What beautiful bedding and yes the bed itself is wonderful. Did you do the detailing on the pillows? Now that we know you are an artist, I suspect you might be part of that project too.

    I would add something with height or a heavier piece for an end table. But that is always something for tomorrow.

    Agree with Oceanna, add some curtain weights in the bottom. Or are they new and just need to relax?

  • 16 years ago

    Thank you!!! As far as the weights in the bottom of the drapes, where would I get those? The fabric store?

    I will have to take more art pictures. I have a lot of unframed things as well. I would like to take a painting class one day.
