Play/Guest Room Help PIP Heavy

[bunnymendelbaum]

BEFORE:


AFTER:
Ok, so this room is now at 85%.


1. I was thinking of this bamboo room darkening shade (because that window faces the alley and car headlights might disturb guests.) WDYT? Or should I try for a white roman shade?


2. I need a flush/semi-flush ceiling light fixture. I was hoping to not spend more than $50-$75 but get something ok looking. A drum shade? Not a boob light. Ideas?

3. Right now the daybed (that pulls out to a king) has the chevron sheets and a white knit blanket on it. Any ideas on a mattress cover that is more "couch-like" and won't end up looking like the wrinkled mess in the above photo?

Other details:

-I ordered two awesome star wars prints for above the daybed.


-I need to paint the radiator cover plate and find the end cap.

I like the one you picked because it will blend in better with the trim. If you go with white, it will stand out like a sore thumb. But my advice doesn't appear to be sound these days on here decor wise. Lol

i agree with you on the shade. White will stick out more

I would go dark too for the shade.

Is the floor two rugs pushed up against each other?

I like it. No ideas on the bed cover. That sounds like a pain. We have a really heavy woolrich blanket at would probably lay pretty flat- it is heavy fleece on one side and heavy wool on the other. Maybe something like that? It was expensive though, a couple hundred dollars Iirc. And they tend to be more country/cabin type patterns from what I have seen.

I got the dark shade and already hung it. Loving this 3rd trimester nesting.


That is just 2 cheap ikea rugs pushed together. They get destroyed by playdoh and craft stuff, so I don't want to spend $$ on rugs for this room.

I think I'm just going to get the least offensive nipple-less boob fixture from Lowes tomorrow. Couldn't find anything good online.

I think I'll keep an eye out for a thick twin comforter/blanket. I've found some great throws, but they are all 50x60" and a twin bed is 50"x75".

Looks great! Love the picture rail!

What about this drum shade? We bought them for our hallway, but haven't installed yet, so I can't tell you that I love them yet, but I love the picture and the price!

Your play room is very pretty. The dark shades and that rug ground the space. My SIL has a daybed similar to yours in her home office. To make it look more like a couch, she tucks in the comforter the same as she does with the sheets and keeps the bed pillow in a closet. There are couch pillows on the daybed. The print on her comforter is similar to the print on your rugs.

I like the dark roman shades and that you mounted them on the inside. For lights I almost bought these fixtures for our hall:

I would look for something like a futon cover. They are usually durable and washable and zip on the mattress so they don't get messed up easily.

I really like those semi-flushes you guys posted. Dh and I ended up starring at the ceiling for 15 minutes and decided to go with a very minimal flush mount to not draw attention to the ceiling.
