Help me decorate the master! (Pips)

[hamster]

Ok, MM, help me finish decorating my room!

I'm in need of bedside lamps, and a picture. Obviously looking to brighten up the space since it's such a dark color. I may eventually change out nightstands for white, but for now they stay. Dressers will be replaced with one, long white Ikea Hemnes. I'd like to put a mirror over it, assuming the glare from the window isn't too bad. Trim will be changed to white in time as well (not sure if you can see that).

Budget is up to $100 per lamp, and $200 for art. It must be lightweight so we don't get decapitated or concussed in an earthquake. So..canvas?

Love the color of the walls.

You could do a a fun big and bright headboard.

Also, check out garage sales near you for some lamps.

Headboard is new, so it stays. It's not quite as dark as the picture suggests.

It's a little above your budget, but this is nice and big and bright and seems like it would have high impact in that space:

This one is kind of cool too:

What type of feel are you going for? Wayfair, JC Penney home and Macy's often have lamps sold as a set of 2 within your budget. Something like this would look nice to offset the deep wall color:

Is that the bedding you plan to keep with the bedroom? I would for sure repaint the night stands to white if you're getting a white dresser, and then I would find some fun lamps with a bright yellow base, and a yellow and gray accent pillow for the bed as well. Art could be anything that tied in with those, but I would use a bright color for the lamps to make it pop. But, I love color!

That's exactly what I had been thinking!

dr.girlfriend, I like that first picture!

[hamster]

Any thoughts on this? I was thinking yellow not orange, but I like it...

I bought these lamps for our bedroom - I love them. They're a bit over your budget, but I waited for a sale and am pretty sure I got them closer to $100/each.

I like clear glass lamps, especially for darker rooms.

Honestly, those nightstands cost probably $30 each. Probably not worth the DIY effort.

[iheartbanjos]

I love home goods for lamps.

If you wanted to go with yellow for the lamps, this one is nice. It's a little over your budget, but they have promo codes all the time.

Omg, I love those! I've been dying for yellow lamps for years but they are always that bubble style which I don't particularly care for.

RockNVoll, we actually have cellular shades ordered, so that should help. I like that bottom piece though, and I think that's exactly what my dining room needs.

hamster, FYI on the Hemnes line. They look white, but aren't actually a true white. If you want matching nightstands, just pick up the Hemnes nightstands while you are there!

I was going to come in here and be all like, "but I don't like the Hemnes nighstands!" But I went to IKEA first and saw they have a "two drawer chest" which is really the same thing and I totally like that.

Do you have a Tuesday Morning nearby? I have gotten a ton of really cute lamps at great prices there - and I know they often have those clear ones like the PP mentioned. If you happen to find one that has a teeny tiny barely noticeable dent on the back where it won't be seen, they will discount it even further.

Ha.  I didn't say the door one was great, just that it was matching.  It would drive me nuts to have a true white nightstand and the yellowy dresser.  The two drawer one is much more functional than the door version.  We have both.  Why would you have a nightstand with a door???!!

I got an email from art.com today and I was all -- ooh, hamster would like that! This one is $2:

This is $40 framed:

I also like the one with chrysanthemums here but can't find it on the site:
