Couple of questions:

(1) Do you have board & batten (is b&b the same as bead board?) anywhere else in your house?

(2) What do you think of painting the walls and ceiling all the same light sky blue? (A shade or two lighter than the blue accent pillow, in front, on your bed.)

I love your bedding, by the way! :-) I have a soft spot for embroidery, lol.

I think I would do whole room and blue on bottom with white above and on ceiling.

Hi One. Board and batten is different than bead board. This is B&B:

I don’t have this in my house, but love the look and at some point plan to add it in some public spaces.

Would have to think about painting walls and ceiling the same color. Have never lived with that before, so will look for some pictures.

I really do love our duvet :)

Maureen, that’s something I had not considered! I tend to like a colonial blue, but darker than the photo you provided. Our kitchen island is BM Mineral Alloy. What do you think of something like that?

Also, how far up would you bring the trim?

Sorry, the picture was to show white on uppers and where trim should end (Imagine picture as your window). Rethinking going lower though after seeing darker color, per second picture.

Painting uppers and ceiling feels awkward.

It’s a big decision; be sure you like the look

With your bedding I think you have to go darker

I’d remove the burgundy accents and use neutral drapes, blue and white or cream cushions - mixing patterns and suggest larger lamps.

Thank you, Maureen. I agree on going dark on the bottom and white on top. Think I’ll play around with painters tape to determine height. Good ideas for drapes ( which are faded and need to be replaced) and pillows. I’m not thrilled with the bedside lamps, so those are definitely in the mix.

What do you think we should do about our en-suite walls? I’m leaning to just paint the same color TBD blue as cabinets, woodwork and tile are white with Super White countertops.

I don’t have this in my house, but love the look and at some point plan to add it in some public spaces.

Then totally go for it! :-D

Our kitchen island is BM Mineral Alloy.

I like the idea of bringing this color into either the bedroom or bathroom, as long as it goes with your bedding.

Also, how far up would you bring the trim?

If it were me, I'd do either 1/3 of the wall or 2/3 of the wall; whichever looks best with the transom.

What do you think we should do about our en-suite walls?

I think most folks use the same color in both rooms, but I like to pull a secondary or tertiary accent color for the bath. <3

There are nice linen like drapes at IKEA at a good price. I always have luck at HomeSense for cushions (Marshalls if you are in the U.S) and again, well priced.

In regards to your en-suite, as it’s so neutral it would be fine with your bedroom, but if you wanted to tie it in a bit better you could paint walls the same color as upper wall in bedroom (I wouldn’t go dark). You could also add dark blue accents or if brave, paint vanity.

A very pretty beginning. Perhaps add a dust ruffle, larger night stands, and less corner clutter.
