Well, I haven't actually done much yet, but I did find a few nice framed & matted pics at TJM (on clearance!) to complement our Krishna painting on the wall. I think it looks quite nice. Three is always pleasing to the eye (or that's what they taught me at PB decor class ;) ), so of course I usually hang in pairs... The room is crying for crown mouldings IMHO.
Yay for tulip season!
Then in the master bedroom, we got a new king sized bed, see post here ...
This was an adventure... The chaise unfortunately had to go, so I sold it on CL. I also of course had to buy all new king-sized bedding, which I had picked out from Pottery Barn. However, the "powder blue" dots turned out to be more of the sage green variety. This would have been perfect if I was shopping for our guest room, but not quite what I was going for. Then of course, I'd ordered a monogramed boudoir, which wasn't returnable, but the rest went back. So I guess that keeps it from being too "matchy matchy".
On a last minute trip to BB&B for a simple white pleated bed skirt (to sneak in while the delivery guys were doing their thing), I got lucky and found nicer (and much cheaper) bedding (duvet and euro shams) that I liked better. It has a darker blue border of rings. The matelasse spread is a kind of homage to all the white matelasse I gave up when we went king. So here is how it all turned out. I achieved my goal of keeping it white (and blue and silver) and serene. Please pardon my complete lack of staging...
For the other pieces, there's the Swedish delegation (Ikea side tables, wall lamps, bench, hidden dresser, and frames). The silk wall hangings, curtains, and accent pillow are from India. KC&CO poster is from Etsy. Side chair (goes w/desk) from Crate & Barrel. Paint is SW Harmony in Maine morning (MSL signature line).
