    I don't know how to vote on your poll because you've got different items separated. If it were me, I would keep the curtains LIGHT, a white preferably, you can keep the paint a light off white or creamy color for some subtle contrast with the curtains. Your pillow is fine, the glass table lamps are fine as well. If you want the lamps to stand out I would do a deep grey like what's in your pillow, not black. If you want them to kind of hide a bit I would do white lamp shades. The lamp shades really should be your last purchase, put everything in the room after you've painted and see if you want attention drawn to the lamps or if you want attention drawn to another decorative item or picture etc. Also, I'd put a colorful throw blanket on the end of the bed or a colorful picture somewhere so everything is not grey, white, beige, black.

    What floors/ carpet are in the room?

    White curtains. A burlap/natural shade (as I think you are going for a modern farmhouse type of look.

    I like the throw pillow you loaded. That with some natural/light tan ones along with the ones would be cute.

    A nice sisal, jute rug. Similar to below but I would go with a different light

    What kind of light would you suggest? Something like this with a white or cream shade? We still have carpet in the room ... but will be pulling that out in the next couple years

    I like the glass ones you had posted originally. These could also working as long as they aren't too small.

    I would stick with the glass ones though.

    Ok..... Thanks so much. How about paint colors. ?? I’ve got the Sherwin-Williams extra white swatch as that will be my baseboards with white comforter. I’ve got these four options of paint... suggestions for what will work best with the pillow with the white comforter white baseboard?
    1 - shoji white
    2 - white heron
    3 - alabaster
    4 - whitetail

    I like Whitetail personally, on my computer the others look like they have green undertones in your lighting and your bedroom furniture also looks like it has green undertones in the picture at the store but not in the picture online. Alabaster looks warmer in the first picture but not in the second.

    If you are not limited to those 4 then Elder white I think adds a little warmth without going too yellow

    Another option for bedside lighting is to not do lamps but wall sconces instead. Antique farmhouse has some great ones with lots of character.

    Also an option if you need a ceiling fan but if not then a chandelier for the room

    If you stay with the glass lamps putting some mirrors above/ behind them on the wall that look like windows will look great. there are lots of options out where if these.

    If you go with the sconces add a floor length mirror in the room (based on the picture this would go on the wall opposite the bed)
