Bedroom progress (PIP)

[simpsongal]

Hopefully this pic will work. I need to buy new lamps, find a sitting chair, and a rug. And lastly, hang pictures. I need to buy nightstands too or repaint our current ones.

ETA: A piece of me is considering going w/different curtains - maybe gray or something w/grommet tops. But I can't decide.

Ooh love it. You should add crown molding <3 I'm obsessed with stripes right now, that looks amazing!

[simpsongal]

Thank you. I LOVE stripes too (you can't see it in the pic but the lighter stripe is semi-gloss).

I was thinking of doing a take on crown molding with something around the ceiling edge (actually on the ceiling). My concern with crown is that the width on the wall might make the room and stripes look stumpy. Plus I have two vents on the walls that are less than an inch from ceiling.

Fortunately, the vents are low downstairs, so I'm definitely doing crown there.

Oh maybe you're right, it might. Either way, I love love love those stripes!

Are those purple stripes or gray? It's hard to tell in the picture.

Good question. The darker stripe is 50% lighter than Behr's Ash Violet. The lighter stripe is BM Northern Cascades, which is more of a gray with a purple undertone.

The room looks more purple in the day time and more of a gray-violet in the evening.

That is pretty much spot on to how I'd describe my bedroom too (gray with purple undertones). LOVE it.

Love the stripes! I agree that new curtains might be in order, though, those filmy white ones don't do those stripes justice! I personally would stick with white (I'm not terribly good with color theory), a heavy grommet top would look really nice!

Looks great! The stripes must have taken you forever! I agree that new curtains might be a good idea; the current ones seem too... frilly... for the space.
