Window Treatment Rule

Dear blogfriends,

Just a small but very important thing :

I learned that this is also true for very big windows like my bedroom's.

Have a nice WE!

The Truth About the Bedroom

Dear blogfriends,

I really wished I could post a real room reveal, but this is not happening yet.

We worked a lot and we are more than half way through. But things have been difficult. The built-in closet was a to ambitious DIY. We did a great job and I am very happy with what we have done. But I would not do it again.

There have been some mistakes also with the paint color and the window treatment.

The architectural layout is also wrong. I want to fix that by displacing the heater.

Anyway, this is a short overview of what we've done yet!

1. Good things :

a. I now like the paint color as headboard color (so at the end, it should remains on just one wall).

b. I love the Gion Sarfatti light fixture (mounted this WE).

c. The window treatment is now much better, but still not perfect.

d. We are almost done with the built-in closet and I think we did a great job.

e. I am pretty happy with the artificial lighting. We used 3000 Kelvin's LED and halogen. I'll post about that.

2. Indulgence

a. As you can notice, one circuit isn't working on the fixture. So we'll have to unmount it to fix it. What a pain.

b. Window treatment (already redone, I'll post about that) is still not perfect as it doesn't allow to open the window the easiest way. So we'll have to change it again.

c. Biggest indulgence : the heater is placed on the wrong side of the room. I think the bed should face the entry. So we will have to get it displaced.

d. I'd like to get rid of this Ikea furniture. The dresser is just collecting clutters and the bedside tables are ugly.

We tried a few days ago to put the bed in front of the entry... much better!!!

(sorry for the poor quality of the pic)

3. The pics you shouldn't have seen

This is what the room looked like just a month ago. Just seeing this pictures makes me wanna cry.

(I don't apology for the quality of the pics because you don't want to see more!)

Design Envy : Beautiful Scandinavian Interior

Hello!

Today, I'd like to share a beautiful house featured in Apartment Therapy last week.

I am totally jealous because they achieved exactly the style I'd like to achieve at home.

Cozy. Unformal. Modern vintage. Children friendly. Crisp. Colorful.

You can see the full house tour here.

Cute and simple window treatment.

 

I love the bookshelves and I'd like to know wich paint color they used.

 

Those vintage danish armchairs are adorables

Living Room : New Couch and Curtains

Tadam!!

Ok, we copied pretty much the Ikea look below. But Karlstad is a really good deal and very comfy. I liked the blue-grey color.

The white curtains still need to be shortened. The blue curtains are not really my style but I like them together with the blue-gray couch, plus my boyfriend agreed immediately (which never happened!).

The color palette also reminds me of this beautifull room from Emily Henderson. When I showed it to my boyfriend he liked it (usually he never likes), so I though I could go this direction... Eventhough this is a bit too "victorian" for my (too much flowers).

But I have to say, since I follow Emily's blog, I am more and more into blue-grey-green palettes.

Aren't those rooms just beautifull?

So here are the selected color palette for now :
