The long awaited time has finally come! Well, long awaited time for me at least. I finally got around to painting my bedroom and changing things up. I have been wanting to do this since last year. Literally. On January 2 of 2012 I wrote a post about finding the perfect “greige” color and I set out to do so. I searched, took some time off, sampled, got a little ADD and then got back on track again. I found the color that I wanted and it’s name was Pashmina by Benjamin Moore. The next step was painting. The way I looked at it was it was time for me to move everything out of my room which was no fun. Needless to say more time went by. The only way I could get the ball rolling was to start buying the new items I wanted for the room to get me motivated to finish. Here are some “evolution of my bedroom” photos: (don’t forget to keep the cursor over the pictures to remove the “fog”)
My biggest concern were the many rectangular shapes from the headboard, to the mirrors, to the side tables. I wanted to bring in some more roundness. I knew for sure I wanted to replace the mirrors so you can imagine how excited I was when I came across this mirror at Target!
I also wanted to change out the lamps and bring in some type of art piece for above my bed. So without further ado here it is! A before and after!
As far as the mirror placement I didn’t want to place them too high even though the lamp shades would cover them a bit so I measured them 9″ above the dressers. I also added some fun table side accessories to add a little glam to the space.
I love this space so much now. It feels like a hotel suite in here! I will be back later this week to talk more about beside table styling, the DIY glitter vase and the 30″x40″ DIY canvas art I made for above the bed!

What a beautiful space! Everything definitely looks hotel chic!! And I love those mirrors from Target.
Gorgeous, I love it so much!! I could move right into that room and be perfectly at home
I can’t wait for your DIY posts.
LOVE IT!!!
Pretty, did you paint the painting over the bed?
Yes! I’ll be doing a post on it hopefully on Friday!
i love the lamps! is the paint color in the beige family?
It’s actually in the grey family. It’s called Pashmina by Benjamin Moore and even though it looks beige it’s grey with brown undertones!

I love the mirrors!
Just found your site and I am in looveeee!! Where did you get your bedding? I’ve been looking for something similar!
Thank you!! The quilt and shams are from Bed Bath and Beyond and I believe the sheets are from there too if not from there then they were from Home Goods! Hope that was helpful!!
