Use Sherwin Williams ColorSnap app and get your paint color. I like the idea of a pale aqua or sea color for the walls and white paint for the furniture. Target and Lowe's have lots of affordable lamps.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16398643098588491009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149560156205207645.post-53260652573538794732013-09-21T07:26:42.765-05:002013-09-21T07:26:42.765-05:00I'm not good at advising, but I love the color...I'm not good at advising, but I love the colors of sea glass and all the beachy looks and applaud your efforts! I would highly suggest looking on Pinterest and houzz.com, and in the meantime if I find anything that might be even remotely helpful, I'll send it your way.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04153228502785993376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149560156205207645.post-30855106747546329352013-09-21T06:56:38.260-05:002013-09-21T06:56:38.260-05:00Pattie,

I might mat it in a the soft blue of the fish. I think this will give it more "weight".<br /><br /><br />I'm going in a little different direction than my friends.<br /><br />It seems that you have a lot on you plate right now! It must be a lot of work and emotional stress to help you dear husband recover. It might not be the best time to jump into a huge project like totally transforming a room.<br /><br />I love the vision you have for this bedroom.. the "seaglass" colors will be perfect for a bedroom. I might paint the room as a start and get together a design board with lots of ideas. This is the time to dream and plan.<br /><br />Get it all down on paper.<br /><br />Down the road I'd paint the bed a pretty sea glass color and have small hooks on the ceiling installed to hang a huge fish net over your bed like a canopy. <br /><br />I also might put the dresser up on a platform with legs and paint it.<br />It has a very "sea chest" feel.<br /><br />I love the idea of a fillable lamp. Lamps Plus has a great one for under $100.00. Fill it with sand and shells etc. Very beachy idea!<br /><br />You're off to a great start... you are forming a vision. So many people start before they think it through and end up not pleased in the end.<br /><br />Thanks for letting me add my two cents. I'm praying for you and your hubby!Yvonne @ StoneGablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10071383858803336708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149560156205207645.post-78056187849842594502013-09-20T22:00:45.477-05:002013-09-20T22:00:45.477-05:00OMG, I have a chest almost EXACTLY like the one yo...OMG, I have a chest almost EXACTLY like the one you showed in our guest room! I am panning to paint it, probably a creamy color. I love all the items you have chosen. Some art on the walls, a few plants (real or faux) will bring LIFE to the space, some of your favorite books and magazines and you will be set!!!

Now I wish I would have actually bought a piece or two.

I l...Pattie, I love your plan. Which shop is this?<br /><br />I love that chest. It is perfect for a coastal look. Using quilts is another great idea. I would paint the furniture off white and do the headboard as you planned. The sand color is nice for the walls.<br /><br />Did you ever find a fillable lamp? They still had a couple at HomeGoods (St Peters) this past Monday.<br /><br />First step, paint the walls and furniture. <br /><br />Fill a lamp with seaglass and shells.<br /><br />I love the fish print!<br /><br />PS: You are near two fairly large bodies of water and three if you count the lake(after all, it boasts more shoreline than California)...therefore, you are sort of coastally located.;-)<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
