Our Bedroom: Painted!

As I mentioned the other day, we are finally done painting our bedroom!  Our bedroom furniture and all of our clothes have been scattered throughout the rest of the house since we moved in, so it was our goal to paint our bedroom and bathroom first.

We really didn't like the goldish yellow color they had going on, and the ceiling, doors, and trim were a creamish/yellow too - which definitely had to go.  When I first looked at paint swatches, I immediately liked one specific shade of grey.  I didn't tell Caleb which was my favorite, but held up a bunch of them for him to pick one - he picked the same one I liked!  Following the advice of this post, we painted a sample on the wall and I still loved it.  We used a shade darker in the bathroom - I am SO happy with how both rooms turned out!  I love the clean, fresh look of it - it's exactly how I imagined it!  Thank you so much Caleb for doing most of the work! :)

Headbord Inspiration

We just finished painting our bedroom last night (finally!), so now I can start decorating!!  I'm sticking with the same color scheme I already had because I've been so happy with it, but what I need next is a headboard.  I've never been a big fan of headboards, but I do think they complete the look of the room.  Now that we're not planning on moving again, I feel like it's time to settle on one.

When Joanna Goddard posted their bedroom makeover, I fell in love with their new headboard!  Isn't is so pretty?! Since I've finally found one that I really like, I've been leaning towards something similar for our room.

This one is similar, and it's a DIY that supposedly only costs $20!  I like the sounds of that, but I'm not the best at manipulating large pieces of material and transforming them into something that actually looks good.  

This is another DIY that only takes five hours but I noticed in the directions there's a needle and thread aaand I don't know how to sew.  Maybe this can be a project my sister or mom could help me with if I decide on this one.

I also like this one.  I can't decide if I like the scalloped look on the top or just straight across.

This one from West Elm is straight across, but I don't know if I like how high up the wall it comes.  It's a maybe.

I could lose the tufted headboards altogether and just get a plain scalloped headboard.  I've always preferred simple but I'm kind of into the tufted look.

Which one do you like best?  What kind of headboard do you have?
