Room Love
I’m kind of surprised that I like this room as much as I do. But after I studied it for a while, I realized why:
1. the Missoni bedding. I actually bought the shams (not the duvet but just the shams) a few years ago in Paris. Love the pink pillow too.
2. the gold chairs with the orange upholstery
3. the brass/gold bench at the foot of the bed
4. the linen upholstered bed
5. the wall sconces
6. the hardwood floors and exposed brick and ductwork.
The only thing I would change is the nightstand and also maybe the black frames. The black seem a little dark for the space. What do you think?
I love the feel of this room so much that I’m starting to think I want to use warmer colors as the backdrop for my house instead of the black & gray I had my heart set on. Orange is my favorite color, after all. Seriously. Could I change my mind any more??

very cute… and looks like it's from mathieson exchange lofts in atlanta!
It's a lovely room. Mind you, the warmer colours are all in the furnishings and accessories, so maybe you won't have to go to vast repainting effort. I bet cobwebs gather round that large pipe like nobody's business.

I absolutely love this room! I totally love the mirror, the chairs and that stunning pillow

The pipe in the pic doesn't bother me…actually sleeping under it might! I change my mind almost every day, good thing most accessories are fairly inexpensive.

I for one am glad you change your mind so often. That way we get to see all the lovely pics that are inspiring you right now. And it makes me feel better about my own constant mind changing.

Love! Love! Love! Personally I like the black frames. Every room needs a touch of black & these help make the room look a little more sophisticated instead of cottagey.

i can really relate to your fluctuating design sensibilities. i feel like i will never settle on the right color palette for my bedroom! one day it's neutrals, the next day i want pink everything. but i suppose that's part of the fun, isn't it?

very pretty room- I think I like the black frames, it makes them stand out a bit more. I dont know thats just me, but I LOVE those sconces next to the bed- they are my favorite.
.-= LindsB´s last post ..Drinks on me Giveaway! =-.
I agree with photographyartstore. Every room needs at least a touch of black.
I love this room. Its inspiring me for what to do above my own bed.

The black frames would balance that wall against the adjoining exposed brick wall. Duct doesn't bother me, but I feel that the feng shui or whatever of having glass and pointed edges (framed pics & mirror) over your head while you sleep is creepy. And the weeny sconces wouldn't be much good for reading. Still, it's very beautiful.
I just found your blog. It's lovely.
Great room! Love the bedding and upholstered bed as well. Although, I am not up for brink and ductwork.

I like the black frames, just not so many of them right above the bed. I agree with having all the glass right above my head — it's a little unsettling. But on another wall, no problem.
My design thoughts also blow around like the wind and I think that's part of the fun. But two things I know for sure: my first fave color is turquoise and my second fave is orange. Strange thing is, my bedroom is green and pink. Go figure.
I am so glad you decided to follow my blog so I can now follow yours. I love your posts and the blog design.

Love, love this! Esp that beautiful photo wall and the fish eye mirror!
How is the house coming along??
(we want pictures!!)

love this room — and that fantastic missoni bedding!
i think the black frames look just fine – but i probably would take away half of the pictures.

Mel: It's good to know I'm not alone.
Design Darling and Mustang Sally: It is all part of the fun. For sure.
A Life More Fabulous: The house is coming along VERY slowly! That's why there are so few pictures so far. Nothing is ready for its close-up!
what a gorgeous room! Every single thing you mentioned I love. What is it about exposed brick that just draws us in?! Thanks for following my blog. How sweet of you!
This is one of those rooms that doesn't initially grab me, but does really draw you in as you look at it. I agree that the beside table is pretty bleh and, while I like the black frames against the white walls, I think the black needs to be picked up somewhere else in the room (maybe a black and white striped rug?) to help tie them to the rest of the space.

So funny – I was literally thinking this morning, wow, I haven't heard from Alek in awhile, I wonder how she is and then you commented on today's post! Hope you're settling into the new part of the world well. I love this space too, btw!

its an amazing room for sure. i have long loved it myself.
i'm ok with the black frames. i like them.
on changing your mind… i'm sooo with you there. never before being keen on blue and certainly not with pink, i was recently possessed and painted my red foyer chest a tealy-blue and am adding pink glass knobs from anthropologie. and i love it! pam

I loved that room for the longest time and then lost the image. So happy to find it here!

oh that's a great room. I really like the linen upholstered bed. we do that for our client's all the time… if only i could afford one for myself! (a custom made bed, that is.) the colors are very warm and relaxing. perfect for snuggling — and that is what bedrooms are for after all.

I don't mind the black frames, just think the proportions might be off? Or maybe there are too many of the them… I love the room though and am impressed at how such warmth was created in a lofty space like that!
why not black and gray with a few colorful accents? I think the more color is edited, the more it can really pop. You at least need some orange!
.-= Naomi@thirteenandsouth´s last post ..what could have been… or the brick wall story =-.
A warm greeny gray would look nice with orange, and wood floors and furniture would certainly warm up black.

i love rooms like this. they open up my brain a little and remind me that lots of different things go together…i think i can be a little matchy matchy sometimes when it comes to furniture combinations.

I also really like this and nothing in it is really "me"
