Forgot to say that I like the night stands you linked to at CB2 and Target. I'd opt for the one with the drawer for some closed storage. And I love the white bedding at Pottery Barn. If your current one is white, do you need to change it though?

What do you think of this lamp at Target? They have a few sleek task lamps that I think would look good bedside.

You might find that your current furniture isn't optimal for your bedroom vision but if you're not married to it, you can opt to transform it or replace it later.

Someone might come along and do a mock up with your dream pieces and you'll have your game plan. Good luck and enjoy the process. And thanks for sharing your "dilemma" because I have similar taste and you've inspired me to finish my game plan for my bedroom. :)

Dog got skunked yesterday so my plans got rearranged.

I know you all mean well and this is the nature of asking for help in a forum, but I need to keep the focus on the things that I can change and want to change. The blinds, sofa, and furniture don't bother me. I've seen sofas almost identical to mine - style and leather color in rooms by bloggers on Instagram that have an aesthetic that is still the look I'm heading toward. I've also seen almost identical dressers used in rooms I like. It's excellent quality furniture and functions like we need it and I really like the shaker look. Only the mirror will go. I think I can get a "perfect for me" room still using those items. In a different lifetime, I could gut the entire room and would redo a lot. I can't justify it now for a variety of reasons.

I'm trying more to get a grasp on nightstands, mirror, lamps, and the fireplace. The couch is angled to go with the angle of the fireplace. When I have a chance, I'll do some mock ups and that should help.

I mainly wasn't sure if I got black nightstands if I should get a black mirror. I like the brightness of gold tones, but with silver in the ceiling fan I wasn't sure if that would look right together.

This mirror has silver and gold so it might be a nice transition with your ceiling fan.

I think it's always nice to bring a little metallic into a room.

So sorry to hear about your dog! Hope all is better now.

I've seen mixed metals in plenty of rooms online and in magazines so I know it can be done. I can't see the fan that well but it doesn't seem to have an inordinate amount of silver so I wouldn't worry too much about it affecting the overall room scheme.

How about this mirror?

It's "tarnished gunmetal". Has a nice modern look and I think it would look great with those CB2 night stands you're considering. Or black ones. I'm not sure it's necessary to match your mirror finish to the nightstands but if you're going with black, I'd say another touch of black somewhere in the room.

Are you planning on a table in front of the couch? Do you have a TV in the entertainment unit or just linens?

I am a huge fan of mixed metals, and I actually do like your couch just fine as well! :) With mixed metal mirror/nightstands, colorful pillows on the couch, white walls—I think the couch can be lovely. I can envision a gorgeous eclectic space with boho/contemporary/scandinavian elements. I do stand by my comments about the current shades based on your inspiration photos, though. . . With what you seem to be drawn to, I just don’t think your current window treatments are working —and that can be a super cheap change, or I wouldn’t have mentioned it. Along with painting the room I think the effect of changing those would just be to brighten it up.

I think the round mirror would work better than the rectangle. The current mirror (glass part) is 36" so I'm looking at round mirrors around that size. https://www.cb2.com/infinity-36-round-brass-wall-mirror/s115726

If I end up with black metal nightstands and a goldish tone mirror, could I use any of these lamps/sconces? Or something totally different?

I don't need a table with the sofa. It's mostly used for laundry that needs to be folded. In the past it was used a lot. I'm drawing a blank on the technical name - I have a ceramic stool that I bring out when I need a place for a coffee mug. It's white with a modernish look. It's normally by the bath tub.

The entertainment center is only linens. This home has huge rooms, but not a lot of storage space.

I don't need to change my bed linens right away. The coverlet is getting a little tired looking though. I would still want a coverlet for the summer. In the winter I would prefer a duvet so I don't have to use so many blankets. I think the texture of the PB duvet is great. It's hard to see in the pictures of the white one though.

I think I need to make a mock up of different options and then I'll envision it all better.

All those lamps/sconces would work with black nightstands and a gold tone mirror. I like the mirror and sconces you found at cb2!

I like the idea of placing the couch at the foot of the bed, facing the fireplace. A TV could be placed on the wall to the right of the fireplace and you could enjoy both from the couch or bed. Looking forward to seeing your finished room!

Minor update. I went out shopping with my daughter this week and she told me that I like different styles, which is why I'm confused on what to do. I'm going to have to pick one. Since I know what I like, I figure I'll just work in stages and then add pieces in as I can find them. When I find something to put over the bed, it will determine the overall final aesthetic of the room. I'm not sure I want to be too specific in what I want because I would prefer to just buy something I love and can afford and work from there. I am going to paint now; I'm getting ready to try two different whites.

The Target nightstands came in stock last weekend so I ordered two. They arrived today. One is in great condition, but the other has dings on the top so I'm returning it. The problem is they're out of stock again. I'm not sure if I should take my chances and return one or both. The sizing of it looks off in this picture - it looks bigger in real life, but it's really solid and the function would be perfect. The price was also fantastic.

Pick one style?! That sounds like torture to me. :) In any case, I like your idea of working in stages and agree that what you find for over the bed will determine the aesthetic of the room.

Which whites are you trying out?

I'd return one nightstand and hope they come back in stock soon. If they don't, could you return the remaining one?

One style is modern and the other a tiny bit Bohemian. I know I'm not really Bohemian, but there are aspects I like.

We prefer Sherwin Williams so I'm trying their Extra White and Snowbound. Both my daughters rooms are Extra White, but my room is on the other side of the house and bigger.

I'm going to ask Customer Service at my store about how long I have to return it Usually it's 30 days, but my online interaction told me I only have a few days.

There's a new book out there called Modern Bohemian, if memory serves. The two styles can easily co-exist, I'm sure.

Colours sound great. Hope they turn out to your liking.

Good luck with the tables and please keep us posted!

Hmmmm.......I like your vision, modern rustic I think with low horizontal lines.....first, empty the bedroom and buy the a headboard you and Hubby love, love, love and place the headboard, the bed, the mattress ,on the wall where the bed will live and make the bed with white sheets so you can get a feel for how much volume is going to be used up in the room with the main piece which is the BED. Then move onto how you want your headboard bed to relate to nightstands that are matched or not and the lamps that will be perfect in the room....this should establish the design style you are going to use in the room....now that you have a style you will know what to shop for and will not be undecided on your direction. Then decide what pieces of furniture will work in the room, the armoire, the dresser and mirror, the sofa? Oh, and you can widen the door in the basement to get the sofa down there, or sell it. It had given you a lot of use and good memories, but if you make it the thing you have to have it will either the the gorilla in the room, hold you in the past, or block the new things you want to bring into your bedroom which should make you smile every time you enter it!

Here are some possibly ideas for inspiration. I tried to find pics with minimal window treatments so you could envision your window treatments in the rooms below. Not sure this is the vibe you are looking for but they seemed to match what you already have, I think....like I said not sure of your vibe but it is a pretty open room......

low night stands and lamps and bench

Muted wall paper, modern photos, and low bed and nightstands and wall sconces.....cool.

Bolder wallpaper for maybe a Bohemian/Asian vibe

Wall sconces and low nightstands.

Clean and your window treatments! Love the antler chandelier....chic.

Keep posting, love what you are pursuing.

Pics of the two different paint colors. In all the pictures, except the dresser, they are always the same side. I didn't think about how I had painted the opposite colors on the dresser wall. I think the one that is on the left generally reads dingy. It's really hard to tell though.

I was just thinking of your room this morning and wondering how you were making out with the paint colours! Nice to see an update.

Yes, the left colour (right on the last pic) reads dingier on my monitor as well. My choice would be clear. How does it feel to you?

I'm not confident. I definitely prefer the right side over the bed, but sometimes I wonder if it's still too bright. However, the samples come in satin and I bought 5 gallons of flat. It's Extra White so I can take it back to tint it if needed. The SW guy said flat would be better since it's such a bright color, faces south, and is a huge room. I wonder how much of a difference it will make in the final look though.

I don't think my phone camera changed the coloring much from real life. I immediately was put off by the left side.

Your choice is clear as well then. :) And don't worry about it being "too bright". Look at your ideabooks. Those are bright white rooms. Don't forget you'll have art on the wall and your furniture. Those soften walls. You won't be living in a bare room.

Also, yes, flat finish will make a difference in the colour brightness.

The color I like is the Extra White. Snowbound just isn't reading well in the room. The only other color I would try is Pure White, but it's only a step between EW and Snowbound. It doesn't seem worth it to me though, especially if it reads dingy like Snowbound.

You've bought the paint and like the samples on the wall. No need to try a third colour. Keep your energy for deciding the other elements to follow!

The Snowbound is reading gray/light blue undertones to me. I think the Extra White is a better bet.

I wasn't confident in the Extra White so I went back to SW to ask about Pure White. Snowbound has a peach undertone, which is why it could read dingy. Pure White has a black undertone. I decided I wanted to try it since I just wasn't fully sold on the EW. Even with one coat, I already loved it. I just did the second coat. It reads bright white without the harshness of EW. We have a winner!

Yay! So happy for you. That's what you get for heeding your instincts. :)

The room is painted except for the small part in the tray ceiling. We're also going to touch up the trim. It's looking sad. The nightstands came back in stock and one is on its way. I was going to purchase two just in case, but apparently I didn't order quickly enough and got the last one. Praying it's in perfect condition! The room is still a mess so I haven't taken new pictures. I did buy a round gold mirror from Target just to see if I liked the gold in the room. My daughters and I all agreed that gold was the way to go, not a black mirror. In the meantime, I've repainted our guest room. It was already Extra White so I kept it. I'm painting the door to our garage SW Cheerful, bright but fun. Walls are gray. Rabbit trail - I'm also trying to narrow down what to do in our powder room. I love BM Manor Green. I was thinking of painting the cabinet that color, but then don't know what to do with the walls. I really want to do some type of pattern on the walls, but have chickened out. The room is decent size for a powder room, but has no windows. I love green and cobalt blue, but think it might be too much. I've considered making just the cabinet wall an accent - white background with a cobalt tree that extends out across the wall. Or, paint the cabinet a dark gray and make the walls green and with a white tree. The rest of the walls would be white. I've mostly stayed conservative in painting this house, in case we ever sold the house. I've resigned myself to the fact that we're here long enough to do what I want. I worry that my idea is cheesy. I would have the tree trunk start midway with the toilet, not centered on it and have the branches extend to the right to go over the cabinet and behind the mirror. The mirror is round and frameless. I'm not sure if I'm nuts. A suggestion was to put up the tape how I think the tree would look and then I could decide if it looks dumb before I actually paint anything. My oldest graduates from HS in early May and I'm trying to freshen up as much as possible before company comes. I'm running out of time though...too many things on my plate.

Powder rooms are someplace you can always have fun-a dark paint color, dramatic wallpaper, murals. If you search dramatic powder rooms here on Houzz, I'm sure you'll come up with all kinds of inspiration.

Your bedroom is looking sad? Are you saying you're dissatisfied with the colour or it's looking sad because the room is unfinished?

Your ideas for the powder room sound fun, not dumb! I hope you prioritize your projects and manage to finish what you need in time.

I meant the trim looks sad next to the freshly painted walls. They just need a once over and they'll be as cheerful as the walls. They aren't nearly as cheerful as my door though! It's really bright, but makes me smile. The door isn't where everyone would see it so I think it's okay to be overly perky. I have started prioritizing, which means I need to focus more on the main floor. With the graduation open house, that is most important. I'll finish my bedroom as time allows.

With the powder room, I want to avoid being a Pinterest fail. Once I do the taping, I'll make my final decision.

Ah...Glad to hear that. Was worried you were dissatisfied with the white! I have a thing for overly perky doors so I hope you'll be able to post a pic at some point. :)

I understand the fear of a Pinterest fail. I've been debating how to transform my bedroom dresser (your post really inspired me) and every idea seems crazier than the previous. :P

Over the dresser - I'm thinking this mirror and then this lamp would sit on the right side. I'm thinking of a plant on the left side. The mirror would be 36", which is quite large and would fill the wall up a little more.

I ordered these sconces to go by the bed.

I don't know why, but my pictures won't post.

It's the CB2 brass mirror. Lamps Plus black/brass sconces. Maybe this Target lamp:

https://www.target.com/p/dark-glass-with-brass-detail-large-lamp-base-black-threshold-153/-/A-53326029#lnk=sametab

Oh, I like that lamp! Do you have a shade for it? Do you have the links for the other items?

Am I getting too matchy-matchy?

I really like that mirror! It's going to look fabulous over your dresser. Did you do a template to test the size? I'm not good at visualizing that kind of stuff.

I don't think you're getting too matchy-matchy. To my eye, this is cohesive, not matchy.

I don't think you're getting too matchy-matchy at all. Things should coordinate and be cohesive. You have a good mix going on.

Fuzzy picture of our powder room. I already took the mirror down. It's a frameless circle. No windows. The plan is to paint the cabinet wall a color - maybe green with the tree, the remaining three walls white, and the cabinet painted. I purchased round contemporary brushed nickel knobs to replace the current pulls on the cabinet. The faucet is also changing to Delta Alux from Lowe's. I'll post the color swatches I'm considering in another post. Part of me would prefer to paint the cabinet green, but I can't decide. I also can't decide if I should do a lighter gray or darker gray. I have a medium tone and two darker shades I'm considering. But, I have no idea if I should be going much lighter.

BM Manor Green

SW Grizzle Gray

Armitage Gray (It's slightly lighter than Grizzle Gray)

SW Peppercorn (This is actually darker than Grizzle Gray)

My attachments didn't post. Here are links to the colors:

Peppercorn: https://www.sherwin-williams.com/homeowners/color/find-and-explore-colors/paint-colors-by-family/SW7674-peppercorn#/7674/?s=coordinatingColors&p=PS0

Armitage Gray: https://www.lowes.com/pd/HGTV-HOME-by-Sherwin-Williams-Armitage-Grey-Interior-Eggshell-Paint-Sample-Actual-Net-Contents-29-5-fl-oz/50389358

Grizzle Gray: https://www.sherwin-williams.com/homeowners/products/SW7068-grizzle-gray#/7068/?s=coordinatingColors&p=PS0

Also, we've changed some things in our kitchen/breakfast room area so that color is going lighter. Currently it's SW Colonnade, but will be changing to SW Glacial Stream. It's a similar tone, but I want to go lighter. From the kitchen, there's an opening to an area where the garage door is on the left side and the powder room door is on the right side.

Here's the Cheerful door to the garage. If you don't like it, please keep your comments to yourself. I like it a lot, but it's a bit brighter than I anticipated. Note to self to always do a sample, not just hold up a swatch. I will not repaint it. It looks good, just personal preference to the brightness. The gray is Colonnade, but changing to a smidge lighter gray.

I like that Cheerful door, M Kedro! It's going to look even better with a slightly lighter gray, imo.

Any opinions on the bathroom colors?

I think I'm going to paint the cabinet green and the walls white. I'm just not feeling the green wall and gray cabinet enough to do it.

I'm ready to finish up the guest room. Maybe it's crazy, but I'm going to make the throw rug into a bolster pillow. We want to make the short wall behind the bed have an accent color. Jury is out on whether to use the same yellow tone as the pillow or to go a little lighter. What do you all think?

I prefer the lighter yellow and I think using a rug to make a pillow is a fab idea! Loving the colours in your guest room.

As for your powder room, I love the idea of white and green. One of my favourite colour combos these days.

Btw, I'm sure you'd get more feedback if you started a different thread for each room/space.

I love where you are going with all these rooms!

Meant to post this a while ago. The tape is an approximate of the size of the mirror - 36" round. I don't think it should be bigger or smaller. I'm still thinking the gold framed mirror from cb2 would be better than their black frame. I would probably hang it a smidge higher in real life.

Going to look fantastic!

I like your updated choices so far :)
