Bedroom Design Challenge

Below are the pics of my our master in the new house and with my current bedding (bad pic, but wanted you to see the pattern).

I'm embarrassed to say how long I've had the bedspread, probably around 8 years. I've always had a very Paris/Romance theme going. I've also always been in rentals so never was able to paint or invest in curtains or do much with it. Partly never did anything due to not being able to decide on what to do exactly.

How would you decorate this room with the bedspread as one of your elements? What color paint would you do? What color/kinds of curtains would you use? What accents & decor would you integrate?

I'd do grey walls. Not a pale grey, a nice smokey grey. Thick, white drapes with a black rod. Glass lamps with big black drum shades. Black and white photos framed in big white frames, either a row of 3 over the bed, or one on each side of the bed. A big chandelier would be nice and add some "glam"...if you are going for the Paris glam thing then lots of gold and silver (mixed metals looks very posh), mirrored surfaces, black and white..lush fabrics like doing a heavy velvet for the drapery and adding a plush rug.

Thanks! This just got my juices flowing. I've been picturing grey smoky walls for two years, but wanted to see what you gals thought too. The bedroom pictures are from the listing. That isn't our furniture. I plan to make a tufted headboard this winter.

Any other suggestions welcome. I think I might come up three different looks and go from there. I do still like this bedspread but sometimes I think I should tone down girly factor for DH.

This might sound dumb, but check out the blog makeup by tiffany d. she is a beauty blogger, but shares a few posts about her home decor. Her style is right up your alley! Paris glam....lots of black and white, mirrors, glass, tufted furniture etc. Beautiful home.

I know this is a nursery but it might give you some ideas. I just love it. I made the bedskirt for them. I agree with all the ideas pp
