Bedroom Musings

I love blue! I am frankly a blue-a-holic. While, it's not everywhere in my house, there are definitely pops of it all around the place. I knew this was the house for us when we walked in and the bedroom was painted the most perfect shade of blue. In fact, so perfect that the bedding and curtains that we already owned coordinated perfectly! AAAAAHHHHH! (That's like angels singing) Sadly, we don't have the can of paint in the basement so I don't know what it actually is.

Here are a few pictures of the very unfinished space:

I have been pondering the idea of making one for years. It was much more recently that I decided to really go for it. Well, I haven't gone for it yet, but I am close to actually doing it. My dad is visiting this weekend, so perhaps this is the time to go for it!

Here are some great inspirations that I have come across in the past few months:

I have no idea why the picture is so small!

This one here  from Shoestring Sophistication is what I am going to go for:



And here it is upclose:



I love everything about it -the shape, the fabric, the nail head trim. Awesome!! And, she has an awesome tutorial that tells each step. How great!

I can't wait to post pictures of when we do it! And, more importantly I can't wait to see how it transforms my room :)
