Now that I’m finally finished painting the master bedroom (in that perfect blue-gray color that I absolutely love<\/a>), I’ve started thinking about how I want it decorated.\u00c2\u00a0 My plan is to use the colors of sand, ocean, and sky with some whites, interesting textures and brighter decorative accents used sparingly.\u00c2\u00a0 I think the look I’m going for is “Seaside Elegance,” coastal chic, “beachy” sophisticated.\u00c2\u00a0 Hope that makes sense!\u00c2\u00a0 Here are some of the basics I’ve already decided on….<\/p>\n

Bedding options:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Cirrus Duvet from Anthropologie<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Ruched Duvet from Pottery Barn<\/p><\/div>\n

Headboard inspiration (we’ll be making our own):<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Colette Bed from Crate & Barrel<\/p><\/div>\n

I’m planning on making my own drop cloth curtains like these (here’s a link to my completed curtains!<\/a>), and I may add some decorative trim:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

I love the idea of a seating area, with two comfy chairs to lounge in, but I’m having trouble working that in to the traffic flow of the room.\u00c2\u00a0 The Picky Apple thinks there is NOT room for 2 chairs, so for now we’ll just have a reading nook in the corner with a chair and ottoman (we already have the ottoman)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Ektorp Chair from IKEA<\/p><\/div>\n

or a chaise<\/p>\n

\n<\/a>One main element of the room I haven’t quite figured out yet is shelving.\u00c2\u00a0 We don’t need any clothing storage in our bedroom (we fortunately have a gigantic closet), but we do need some bookshelves.\u00c2\u00a0 I could make an entire wall of shelving, or just use a long low shelf with decorative paintings above….I’m still having trouble picturing what I want.<\/p>\n

For decorative accents (where I’ll bring in more color), this is the kind of stuff I have in mind:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Seahorse Print from Etsy seller YeOldeArteShoppe<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

\"\"<\/a>

Abstract Beach Canvas from Etsy seller breverjohnson<\/p><\/div>\n

To keep it from being too formal, some signs like this, (though maybe not yellow)…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Beach Rules Vintage Sign from Etsy seller barnowlprimatives<\/p><\/div>\n

Eva Colored Glass Lamp from Pottery Barn<\/p><\/div>\n

Alexis Ceramic Lamp from Pottery Barn<\/p><\/div>\n

Paolo Stripe from Pottery Barn<\/p><\/div>\n

Coastal Pillows from Pottery Barn<\/p><\/div>\n


\n<\/a>Are you getting a sense of my vision for this room yet?\u00c2\u00a0 I still have a lot to figure out (and purchase\/make) but I’m excited about the direction this room is headed.\u00c2\u00a0 What do you think?<\/p>\n

I’m sharing this post with the Show Me The Progress Party<\/a> at Serenity Now.<\/em><\/p>\n
