We moved into this house not too long ago, and the bedroom has been the last to be decorated. Still need to finish painting it, and then I can hang art and move things around more freely. But when I do get it done, I think I'm going to be going for a sort of Scandinavian modern/vintage-infused look, lots of white with bright color accents. In the room already is the quilt I made out of a vintage 60's quilt top, which has lots of great bright colors in it and several colors of check gingham. I went with it, and bought some red and white gingham at JoAnn's the other day. It's the poly-cotton stuff they have in different colors and sizes, and I wouldn't want to wear it, really, since it's thin and 65% polyester, but it's just great for a lightweight curtain!
The bedroom has sloped attic ceilings (more pics once I finish decorating!), and a funky closet built into the roof line with no door or anything. Before:
Still mid-project, but after curtain (you can see the edges of the paint at the wall/ceiling join! We've only done one coat...)
It was a super fast curtain, since I didn't have to hem the sides. Just made the top casing and hem at the bottom, and left the selvages on the sides! Now, if the rest of the bedroom decor was so easy and fast...
BTW, I'd love your ideas on how to include more simple Danish modern looks combined with a few fun vintage 60's-type decor stuff. Any great inspiration sites?
