Ok, so I found this amazing tutorial on how to put wainscoting up. And I just knew I had to try it in my bedroom. You see, my husband doesn't like things hanging over his head and I just couldn't ever find a headboard that I liked, so instead of buying one, we decided to just put up wainscoting and use that as a headboard instead. Plus our room is super small (like 11'x10') and a headboard would just make it smaller.

We've lived in this house for 2 years and we finally got around to painting our bedroom. I've hated it since we've moved in. The paint was this nasty peachy creamy color, but the worst part....the previous owners had painted it with flat paint and then touched it up with glossy paint every where. So whenever I looked at the walls I could see the different finished. Lame, super lame.

Oh, and if you're wondering.... Bed Spread and Curtains are both Dwell Studio for Target. The curtains are actually a table cloth...
Lamp shades are also from Target. Mirror, antique....it was Chris' grandma's mirror. I love it!

looks real nice and airy.
what lights to you have overhead? That may be a place you can really add a wow factor with a nice ceiling hugging fixture. Try googling lights fantastic for a HUGE selection of tons of light options.
It looks amazing! Yes, taller curtains do, in general, give the illusion of the window being larger than it is. But the scale of the pattern of the curtains you have is such that I think it might overwhelm the size of your room if they were full length. I'd say stick with what you have, or do tall curtains with a smaller-scale print? I agree on finding a cool idea for your ceiling light--there is a lot of room for play there. Excited to see what else you guys do!
Super cute! I must look at Target.com too much because I recognized the Dwell Studio prints! Haha, I like the bold print of the curtains, I might just add a solid color to the bottom to add length. Like a solid brown or blue. I've seen that in a lot of model homes.
It looks great...when are you coming to help me decorate mine ;)
LOVE it Muffin! Your wainscoting looks so good!
You rocked it Muffin. I'm very impressed!!!
I love it! Makes me want to do the same thing to our room...is that bad? I agree with just adding a solid color to the bottom of the curtains. Great job on the room!!!!
love it!!!
It looks so good! I love the colors and patterns together. And the antique mirror is really gorgeous.
It looks great. I love your bedding and curtains!
I made curtains from the same tablecloth! I ended up putting a band of cloth (in the blue shade) along the top, instead of the bottom -- I think it turned out well.
