Dream of a Bedroom

While our renovation has paused, it has given me plenty of time to envision what I'd really like to do with this house we have. I should probably be thinking about a garden & backyard, because my hubby is intending on clearing our dirt mounds out, then again he has intended that before, and if you've followed our renovation...you'll know we've already done a lot of digging. So for now I'd prefer to stay with the bedroom.

I just love this Ralph Lauren Bed...

The funny thing is so many of the decorating blogs I follow are white, beachy kinda stuff...but I like the heavier furniture and colours....maybe because it's cold here (to me anyway) most of the year. We have planned on a cherry hardwood floor, but it may depend on what we find available at the time we lay the floors. We will have radiant heating throughout the house, and unfortunately we need a narrower board, instead of the 6" we originally would've liked. With all that said the floors will be quite dark, and most of our furniture pieces are mahogany antiques.

Then I fell in love with this leather, ...or it could've been the windows, or fireplace, or the fact that this bed is  huge, and maybe I'd get a little space, as hubby likes at least 3/4 of the bed....but I need something with more warmth.

Then I noticed this velvet headboard in a magazine ad recently, and fell in love again... the beauty of this is you could just make it yourself. I think my decision has been made.

Here are some more pics of dreamy bedrooms I've collected.

We have a ton of fabrics we picked up from the auctions, and I can't wait to knit & crochet some throws. If we could have that fireplace it would be perfect...but I guess I can be more than happy with the french doors and balcony.

Love that Union Jack!
