Just have to know....did you design your kitchen? I have to see more of it. It may be my most favorite ever! And I have only seen this much of it.

Combine, first of all, I love your monochromatic color scheme, headboard, painting, and floors. I am new to the discussion so sorry if someone already mentioned this, but I'm not sure I love the different color of the headboard and bed....My eye is going to both places...First, to the black frame and then to the beautiful gray upholstered headboard. The black is pulling my eye away from what I think should be the focal point....the headboard and making the room feel heavy. Have you thought about painting the bed in a gray to match the headboard. I think this would make it feel more cohesive? I do love your mirrors and think taller lamps and larger nightstands would look nice in your room. Love your ideas of bedding. Great space.

Abbyjean, yes I did design the kitchen. every square inch, but as usual, made lots of mistakes and wish i had sought professional advice on a few things. Brother!! I could NEVER tell my husband this, but now that it's done, i want to do it all over again and make some changes. I learned that's just how I am so although I love my home and i am really content with everything, I've learned that I really like the process and am always changing how I see things and want things. I also have this "thing" where once a room is complete I know exactly what's wrong with it and know how to make it perfect. Always too late so I feel that every room could be just right if I could do it once more. Im telling you, its craziness! for some reason I can't see it for what it is until its all done, even if I look at it on paper for months and pretend Im walking around in it...anyway, welcome to my brain. It's a busy place. I appreciate your compliments on it. You are very kind. We had a lot of things that we had to work around in this kitchen. I should find a picture of the BEFORE and share it in before and after. Its drastic!

oh boy. anyone else see the problem with the black. hadn't seen that, but I see what you're saying. Funny, it's original colour matched the floor pretty well, but I stained it before I moved it into this room. I could re stain it, but I thought maybe i would put a bench there to hide that. Much easier solution. You can't see the sides of the bed really at all, so Im not worried about that. Thanks Karen

You know, I do not think there is ever a time that we can consider a room DONE! It is always evolving, as is your kitchen and each room in this home. And that is a good thing. Little changes are always fun and freshen up things again. Not big things, but the fun little fluffy ones. I love kitchens most of all!

I like the black and it grounds the bed. AND you are looking for black side tables, too, so they will go together. Gray and black.....nice partnership.

Combine...you sound like me...I love to design my own space and make mistakes along the way and then see them after the fact. I can so relate. I always second guess every decision I make and want to change everything...constantly. Decorating is an on-going process, right! However, I must say, your space is pretty perfect, and I don't think that you need to re-stain the bed....Once you have your bench at the foot of the bed, you will not even notice the black. Finish your room first and enjoy ;-) Can't wait to see the pictures when you are finished. Or as my friend says..."we are never finished." lol

oh I know! Seriously, I understand what you're saying. second guessing is what I do all the time... there are a few things I am always really sure about. the rest, not so much.

Good morning. Oh, crumbs, I'm working on deadline today and can't possibly read the discussion, so making a sensible comment is v difficult. A couple of quick points referring back -- I like the mirrors. They are bold. But as you say at the moment you have nothing to anchor them. Remember, too, that it's a bit like trying to look like the model on a magazine cover. She's had every imperfection photoshopped out. Rooms photographed for decor glamour shots are often brilliantly lit -- look how often all the room lights are on, but then there's additional lighting too.

The aubergine chairs -- I like those because the colour is so subtle it is virtually neutral. It just adds another dimension. I don't think they would look at all alarming. But if you do decide to go that way, make sure that the retailer lets you try out in the room anything you are considering buying before you commit.

PS Yes, I'd match the colour of the bed with the night stands.

Hey there! You are off to a great start...

I think you really stuff a nice rug....and an amazing bedding ensemble..

Happy Designing!

I have a few blog posts that may help you out..

Perfect so far!

I see black night stands too, but I really think you need a bedside chest and not a table; in other words minimal legs and more drawers. If you look at your inspiration pics all the chests are substantial. Lamps probably 27 - 30 inches tall.

Have you considered putting a sofa where the crib is? Something leggy with an end table and table lamp on one side and floor lamp on the other side and a cocktail table...maybe oval and rounded pieces to add softness; sort of French looking.

Soft gauzy floor length curtains on black iron rods at each window for more softness. Subtle but strong.

I think you need a pair of matching black or dark grey nightstands that are nearly the same height as the top of your mattress. Having 2 nightstands that are different and different heights look unbalanced. And I agree the mirrors are too much for space. A pair of lovely matching black and white prints - or prints in primary colors will look better. Also getting a chest of drawers to match the nightstands will look wonderful.

Hi ladies...Yes, I agree that a chunkier look for night stands is better here than something dainty for sure! Looking on websites for second hand things i can paint or stain black. Not finding anything yet. I did finally buy a rod for the curtains though. I have had my curtains for months and had to save for the rod. It's up now and looks good. Every little thing adds so much to the space. I did think of a couch (to answer a question) where the crib is. I would prefer two chairs, but I will hopefully be moving some furniture around soon from other rooms and I happen to have two grey chairs and a grey couch. I will have to move them in there to see what they look like. The couch is darker grey and almost looks blue at times so Im not sure it'll work; we will see. Thanks for your imput

Any updates to share?

I would suggest a rug at the foot of your bed. It looks great so far though!

I love the color and styles! I would suggest adding a small ottoman to the edge of your bed, it would be a nice touch!

Both great ideas. The crib is gone now so also looking for chairs to add to the space. This is an old old post but Im very slow so haven t done much at all

Or even add a duvet something to add some pattern or color :)

love the rug and pillow a lot

Following, because I love your house and looking forward to seeing how you finish the master.

Oh, no! No pics? Or is it my computer?

Did you forget to attach the pictures? Can't see them either.

No crib makes such a difference and that window was made for chairs right there! Oh, gosh, I love this room and your color scheme is my favorite, especially for right now. And the tree? Hello, sunshine, and it stays! LOL

Cows in the pasture! I love it! What a home you have!!! True farmhouse!!!

Your room looks amazing, combine! I love the chairs and plant in the window. Even if you find a small table to place between the 2 chairs, I would find another place for the plant in the room. Love the soothing color scheme!

If you had a small and sturdy stool, it might work under the plant to have it be a bit higher with the windows and get a little of the fullness away from the bottom. A small round stool might work for your coffee, too??? It would need to be higher, of course, but nothing big. Maybe a book could fit on it, too. Do you have any garden stools?

Hi combine. Are the side tables at least as wide as the width of the mirror hanging above. If so, I think they could work. If not, I would try to find a bedside table that's wider. Also, be sure to measure the height to make sure the table is at least as heigh as the mattress.

Can you post the link to your new thread? I couldn't find it.

Here's a link to your new thread. See you there.
