If you thought 'decor' you are right?
...
You didn't? What were you thinking?

Dirty mind!
Anyway- I'm so over the decor in our bedroom. Like really over it. I would like new curtains and perhaps some new throw pillows as well. The first thing I really want to tackle, however, is the art over our bed.
Last year I created the above masterpiece before we moved in. I need something to fill the space, and I didn't want to spend a lot of money. They did their job for a year.
But now my taste has changed I see how dull they are ( I am a Lizzie in Progress, after all). Here are some of my inspirations.
First and foremost, I love love love the idea of having our initials over our headboard, ala John and Sherry from Young House Love
Ours would have to be on a much bigger scale because we have nearly 7 feet from the top of our headboard to the ceiling. The Youngsters also have this great collage in their living room that I thought JEGs and I could incorporate over the bed instead..
I also found this great Beatles lyric from Rockett St. George
I think this could be an easy DIY project with some scrap wood, paint and a little polyurethane. We wouldn't have to use the same lyrics either- we could personalize a little more for ourselves!
I also really love Dusty's "I-Don't-Get-It" Guest Room:
She collected a bunch of mismatched frames, spray painted them, and hung them above the bed. This would be great, as I will be yard-sale scouting this weekend. Hm....
However, that's probably going to be a crapton of work, and this is only an apartment. I don't plan on being here next year.

Finally, I really love this idea of painting swirls on the back wall that I found on HGTV

Always & Forever (changing things up),

The beatle art is fab! It's my favorite song by them also. But I am not sure about over your bed...I think I would have to see what else you would be changing also. The initals are a cute idea!
ReplyDeleteHmm...here's my opinion..if it counts ;)
ReplyDeleteI like the initials idea. Its simple, clean, and unique.
I like the collage, but I feel like that would be WAY cooler over the television for everyone to see.
I LOVE the Beatles lyrics. A little dark...but maybe change the colors up. Otherwise, its awesome.
Not a fan of the hanging picture frames. Too busy, too hard to clean, and too much of a chance of me getting tangled in all that string.
No offense to FC...but the sunburst thing reminds me too much of one of those creepy dream catchers. I dont think I want to catch any of my dreams, especially the ones where Im aparently cursing someone out...
The swirls are cool...but too much work for our apt, like you said. I dont want to deal with painting them, or painting over them. And there really isnt that much exposed wall around our bed. Plus, I know you, in 6 months you'll want something else. So things that hang on the wall vs. things painted on the wall will be easier to deal with.
Just my $0.02. :) xoxooxox
I really like the beatles lyrics. Like Justin said though, I would make it a different color. I also liked the initials, but would make them much bigger. I have also been thinking about what I should hang over my bed. My problem is that the appartment vibrates from all the truck trafic on 322 and I don't want to be decapitated in my sleep if something I put there falls down.
ReplyDeleteI love the Beatles lyrics. It's something you can always use somewhere. Never goes outta style.
