24" Trubridge in natural bamboo and 2 of the Soiree lamps in Driftwood Silk Glow.

Excellent. Obviously, I think they're great choices. Glad you saved money with the discount code.

I never would have found them or put them together without you Grover. Thank you so much!

LOVE groveraxle 's ideas, photos, etc. Thumbs up across the board!

Love your original art above bed, hope you will put it back lower after painting. Nice room, don't change it too much :)

That art is just a canvas stretched over a frame. I wish we could cut it down...

Painter is doing his thing this weekend. I'll post pics when it's done and the shams and lights are here. He's going to paint the curtain rods for me too.

Oh, and I just posted my foyer if anyone has any thoughts on that one!

Duh! Slow, you CAN cut the painting down. You can buy stretcher bars at any art supply store and restretch the canvas yourself. I don't know why I didn't think of that.

Although I actually like it hanging behind the bed as if the rocky shoreline is rising from the headboard.

Oops. Sorry about the yellow lamps. ;-)

slowstartr - You WILL post photos of the "after" for us, right? ;-)

Yes, will definitely post pics when it's done. The shams came today. Not loving them. They're too gold.

Send the shams back. Go back to the yellow stuff you had before. It looked great.

Just my opinion (and it's all subjective with color) but I think, what with black/gray/white mood in that room, as you have said too....a more lemony yellow would give the pop you need as an accent. Somehow gold or goldish yellow would seem more like trying to introduce an additional color, where the lemony or clean pure yellow (whatever you want to call it) is better for an accent.

Yes it looks like an out of place color. Exactly. And I can't return them because it was a final sale. Stupid me. Maybe I can hot glue a black ribbon over the gold. :)

I'm not good with colors at all. And I can't visualize things unless they're physically staring me in the face.

The chandelier arrived today in a box with instructions similar to what you see from Ikea. Wish me luck!!

~~(whew)~~ LUCK

If you've ever tried to put something together with instructions translated from Mandarin, you'll be grateful for pictures with no words. ;-)

Painting happens tomorrow :)

Shelf is down, tv is down.

I'm eager to see the new paint job.

that picture will be spectacular on that wall! So much better and make sure when you hang it you hang it only 5" above a sofa back or a furniture piece beneath it. It is going to look so much more "important" in this space. It was "buried" in the bedroom. Love it when a "plan" comes together!

Table lamps arrived today. They are awesome GroverAxle!! We've assembled the Trubridge but are having some electrical issues so haven't been able to hang it yet. Need to settle on art next

Sorry it's a little dark. We unplugged everything else. Hubby likes this for above the bed.

Love the lamps. I will hold my opinion on Hubby's art choice because I don't have to sleep in there. OK, I won't hold it completely; I think that art changes the vibe of the room from restful to frenzied.

I agree. Too many bright colors. Might be good in the playroom/living room but I'm nit ready to decide anything there yet.

We have that dark nook where the desk is and I've been looking at lighting options. Any idea what might be good? I don't want something hanging from the ceiling. I saw some corner sconces and some can lights. We will have task lighting on the desks. Still trying to find a second desk and figure out a seating option. I want to lose the bookcase thing and get a loveseat.

Love the lamps.

So, here's what we have so far. We ordered the 3 prints in this mock-up and then the other pictures are 'real.'

I could use help with the 'office' part of the room. The dark desk is staying. The white desk was in our daughter's room and we just put it here for now to see sizing and basically store it until we get rid of it. Two desks are a necessity and we don't have anywhere else to put them in the house so they need to go here. We've been looking at desks for weeks and can't find anything that we really like. The front runner is the Riley 2-drawer from Grandinroad:

Those things sticking out of the wall above the white desk are brackets for the 2 black floating shelves we had here earlier. We are thinking they'll go back here. The Riley comes in Dove Gray, Poppy, Navy and Snow. If you like it - thoughts on color?

There was another shelf that went above the dark colored desk. It's not super attractive because it has brackets underneath but it served a purpose. I can probably get by without it if I have to.

Another factor - we ordered the Elton settee from West Elm in Stone:

Planning to put it where the white chair is in the pictures. It's also a necessity.

So, I could use help with a desk, how to arrange the shelves, lighting, artwork, etc. The black Ikea shelf thing can stay or go - I don't really care either way.

Thanks for any thoughts you can share!

Those lamps look nice. It might be cool to have one long desk along the back wall. We bought the dark desk from PB years ago and they still have one very much like it.

Either that or have them back-to-back?

Art closer together please:

One long desk or one that goes around the corner--a unified piece--would look good. How much storage do you need in your desks? Could file cabinets with a counter on top suffice?

Also, where is the TV going?

I've always liked Pottery Barn's modular Bedford system. You can configure it a bazillion different ways.

That's the desk I have. In the espresso color.

So what do you think about configuration?

That's perfect then. You can just add to what you've got and it will be seamless. How about the exact same pieces you've got plus the corner desktop piece? Or maybe the pedestal on the left end should be the bookcase piece so the file drawers on the current desk will still open.

It took me a while to figure out what you were saying but I got it and I like it.

Art is up. Desk arrives tomorrow.

You feel better when you walk into that room, I just know it!

Love the new bedding! The only thing that disturbs me is that you have repeated one of the prints over the bed. Take the one on the left and rotate it 180° and you'll be golden.
