Yesterday I finished the art above the headboard!
Click to read more about the tufted headboard with wings and nailhead trim, dresser/nightstand, lamps, pillows!
I drew a design based off of the bed skirt or back of pillows fabric – traced with puffy paint (remember it is very hard to get the puffy paint to be perfect – if you try it this way, embrace the imperfections!)
After it dried I painted it with SW Anew Gray with a little white mixed in
Once it dried I didn’t think that it had enough contrast – and looked a little flat in the space …
so I retraced the lines with white puffy paint and perfect – just enough pop!
The two larger frames on the right are painted the same as the canvases (little frame is from Ikea)
I printed the quote on fabric – check out this post to see how I did it – I drew the Eames chair outline and Annabelle’s silhouette in illustrator
I love the extra contrast that the white lines gave the canvases! and how the texture ties in with the bed skirt while balancing out the stenciled wall
I have a lot of exciting projects in the works … now I just have to decide what to start first!
What a gorgeous retreat Sarah! I just used the same lamp shade in a client's home yesterday. I love the color and pattern! Your space has so many great details and special touches.
Thank you! I just popped over to your blog – the room is looks fantastic so far! Looking forward to seeing the finished result! Love that lampshade – I was so glad when I found it, gotta love target!
Where did you find your "nightstands" ? love the whole room!
Thanks Danielle! I found both on craigslist and refurbished them (if you are interested in taking a look: http://sarahmdorseydesigns.blogspot.com/search/label/dresser) Sometimes craigslist can be good and other times not!
Just lovely! 🙂
Thank you Saltos!!
Hi Sarah, saw you on Better After. This is SUCH a beautiful space! I'm about to bite off a bedroom redo, lots of good inspiration here!
Hi Jennifer! Thank you so much! I just checked out your blog … looks like we have a lot of the same fabrics on the list! Looking forward to seeing your bedroom redo!
Where did you find the lamp shades??? I must have those, love them!!
Hi Dorothy – Lampshades are from Target!
This really is a gorgeous room – I love how it all comes together! Everyone can see that you put a lot of thought into your projects before starting them – me, on the other hand, I'm a "shoot first, ask questions later" kind of DIYer 😉
Hi Sarah. Love this room! Where did you get the bed frame/headboard from??
Thank you! I made it 🙂 http://sarahmdorseydesigns.blogspot.com/2012/04/diy-headboard-complete.html
such a well thought out design! where did you find that bed skirt?
Thank you! I made the bed skirt out of Covington Windsor Citrus fabric
That is talent! Would you have any interest in making one for purchase?
I just bought a gray and yellow comforter set at Kohls. The room is so inviting and I was glad to see your assessories in the same colors. Love the lamp shades!
I am so in love with gray and yellow combinations. I came across your image on Pinterest and used it as inspiration for my own mini-project. (http://ninasquared.wordpress.com/2012/08/28/back-in-the-bedroom/)

I am wondering where I can get that quote "You are and have always been my dream?" I would love to get it for my hubby 🙂
Hi Sherry! I can sell a printed version (this one is printed on fabric) for $15 and $3 shipping. Thanks!
Where is the comforter from?
Hi Lindsay! The white duvet is from target, the floral coverlet is from TJ Maxx, I think the brand is Bella Lux
I love the quotes, especially to be irreplaceable, you must be different.
Do you offer that one as well? And how do you print it on fabric?
Thank you!
I have been working on my bedroom for almost 4 months! I think I am finally beginning to see light, at least a bit, at the end of the tunnel!
Hi Angie! I just purchased some thin muslin (ironed it) and attached it to paper with spray adhesive, trimmed the edge and printed it on my ink jet printer. Super easy!
