Bedroom splendour...

I'm currently putting together an inspiration board for a new bedroom I'm proposing we build from our exisiting double garage. My current bedroom is very small and just wont do any longer lol. My new bedroom is to be light and airy and ever so glamourous ;) The above pic from Lucinda Symons is my favourite bedroom pic and will be the starting point for my collaboration. I absolutely love the colour scheme and I'm very keen to use wallpaper - even if only on one wall. The above Louis bed is an absolute dream but I'm not entirely convinced about padded beds being practical. I was just thinking of painted wood or cane but still as ornate. Fortunately my husband doesn't mind if I want a more feminine bedroom as he understands it's my sanctuary as long as he has a new garage to play in lol.

Another styled view of the same room. I love the use of the pink bedding with the blue background.

I haven't decided on flooring and whether to use timber, tiles or carpet. I love the dark wooden floors mixed with the pastel colours along with the fireplace and white fluffy rug by Brian J McCarthy - ahhh so romantic ;)

One of my favourite wallpapers from Laura Ashley I'm seriously considering for my feature wall.

I'm not sure what bedside tables to have whether they be painted, mirrored or skirted.

Lighting will of course be a breathtaking sparkling chandelier - with some task lighting in the form of bed sconces or lamps. (Pic from The Paris Apartment)

Naturally what will become one of my own signature design elements someday, a tufted chair or chaise is a must!

Ohhh I love this screen by Jessica McClintock - Argh thats probably going a little over the top lol ;)

This pic was recently posted by Joni at Cote de Texas of one of her friends guest rooms. I am so in love with the overstuffed salmon pink eiderdown and the stunning little tufted stool.

(I have this exact bedding by Sheridan)

I also love the idea of french or bifold doors opening up to the bedroom with the bed facing opposite. The built in bookcasing around the doors are fabulous also. (Pic from country home ideas)

(This room doesn't exactly apply to me but I thought I'd mention I love the idea of using pretty dresses and tops as a form of window furnishings, especially for a teenage girl. Pic from Betsy Johnson)
