Yep! I heard you! The shutters have to go! LOL
They are already gone. I guess I was thinking outside the box a little too much!!! Trying to force something that just wasn’t right. That’s the beauty of design. It’s never done.
I’m sticking with the white quilt and toile shams. I think it’s crisper and “pops” off the bed more.
Now what about the lamps? I don’t think they work anymore.
I REALLY would like to do swing arm sconces to free up nightstand space and because I just really think they are cool. I’ve been looking at Shades of Light online and they have a great selection. The one below is by Alexa Hampton and comes in 3 finishes.
Or what about this one?
This one by Mary McDonald has ostrich leather.
I’m off to Lexington this morning for the weekend. I’m gonna hit Home Goods, Hobby Lobby, Pier 1, TJ Maxx…..well, you get the idea…..to see what I can come up with!
Toodles,
Kim
P.S. BTW…I’m not leaving the room all faded and beige. This is just my starting background palette. I’ve not gotten to the pops of color yet. I’m thinking turquoise and Hermes orange…..or maybe buttery or bright yellow?
Opinions?

Your bed is gorgeous! LOVE the shutters, but I'm sure you can find a better place to show them off in your lovely home.

I want swing arm sconces, too. Love the second one.
Love the second ones Kim!! Have fun shopping:)
Yes! Love it! But now I want to see where the shutters end up! ; ) and for the sconces I might match the metal finish to either the nail heads on the bed or the hardware on your side tables--or painted metal--a mate grey maybe? Or you could go with something dramatic like an oiled bronze that looks very vintage.....listen to me sounding all 'pro'.... :)
Have a 'bon weekend' of shopping! Oh how I miss TJMaxx!!!
xx!

I think the first one matches the nailhead trim on the headboard. Also, it's just plain gorgeous! ~ Maureen
Oh Kim...the bed is gorgeous...I so love that EA bed and I love the first lamp....love Alexa Hampton...so chic!...I look forward to seeing the completed bedroom...I know it will be so beautiful!!!...
First swing lamp definately- 2nd one looks too "hotelesque," and 3rd one I just can't wrap my head around - a little too odd?
Anyway, this room is gonna rock.
ALL your rooms do, once you get there where you want them.
My sister graduated from U of K - I am a huge Lexington fan. Hope you had FUN!
Your room is looking fabulous, I love the color you chose for the wall. Looking forward to seeing it completed.
Yes YES! Swing arms would be perfect! And yes it does look better without the shutters...even though they are fab *winks* Did they find another home Kim? Vanna
