My Bedroom

It's getting there, but I am super happy with my choice of quilt cover and of course my gorgeous cushion from the lovely Louise at Table Tonic. I wanted the room to be light and airy and I think I have achieved this.
The best thing about this quilt cover - I don't have to iron it yipee :)




Still a couple of things to work on (are we ever finished??) one being the lamps. You can see which ones I ended up getting and I will eventually cover the shades to a grey and white fabric of some sort. Also collecting some more bits and pieces to dress my side tables. I'm off to buy some flowers  for them today I think.


For now I am really happy and will be replicating this look in my new place even though I won't have my grey walls. 
What do you think?

    Loving it Honey...looks awesome...so very you!
    No Ironing? I Love it! Thats actually what I love about my coverlet too...no ironing!
    I like your lamps as is hon...can you fill the glass bass with stuff..perhaps like some shells?
    I think a little dash of black in there somewhere would look awesome...either a picture frame..or different print cushion? or a black and white throw?
    I love the fact that we are going the same colour schemes in our rooms...now I can just get inspiration from your posts :)

    Looking so good & now you are going to leave it :-) I'm now on the hunt for new bedside table lights as I smashed mine ooops. Hardest thing to find when you know what you want!!!

    Beautiful, clean and refreshing! I would add a really pretty lemon yellow and white painting above the bed.... keep it soft, but add some pop?

    Sam - Believe it or not, I got the quilt cover from Pillowtalk!! I know, I know! x

    Nicole - Thank you for your suggestion, I totally take your professional feedback onboard and it would be yellow of course! Or I was thinking something with a dash of purple?? Have you got anything in your store at the mo??

    Your bedroom has come together quite nicely. I love the colours you have used and your bedside tables are great. Your quilt cover makes your room look soft and dreamy. Exactly what you want! With the lamps you could also put a piece of ribbon around the bottom of the shade. Nate Berkus did it on his show and I Emily from Armonia Decors did it with her lamps. You can see it in the first picture here. http://cocopearl.blogspot.com/2011/01/designer-of-day-armonia-decors.html
    Regardless I your room already looks great.

    Hmmmm... I think you need something really simple to keep the crispness that you created here... Its really refreshing.

    If u did purple it would have to be the perfect shade of purple. You know what I mean?

    I dont really have any yellow ones in the store right now... Hmmmm....

    Oh wow this is FABULOUS! Go girl!
    It's a great neutral palette - anything soft and pale-ish will be gorgeous in this room. How dreamy... Well done super stylist!

     Hi Tanya,
    Oooh I can't remember, actually I think I got it from Pillow Talk over a year ago. Yes, I remember I looked for ages at all my fav places and none of them had it and then I actually came across it by accident at Pillow Talk where I never thought would have it.
    Thanks for visting my blog x
