When we first moved in, we referred to this room as the "blue room". The radiator had been painted (or maybe the other way around?) to match the light, baby blue carpet. If you'll remember, the first thing 
This room also has some incredible views. Both windows have a view of the lake - pretty nice to wake up to. We're a little jealous that it doesn't have the master closet, we'd love those views!
Earlier, I did a post about my inspiration for this room, and I still have a lot to do to finish it. But hopefully you can see some of the inspiration played out.
I'm totally in love with this wall color too. Zach did it while I was gone because I was too nervous to go that dark! It's called Sailor's Coat and that's exactly the feel of it. It feels really modern and cozy. The bookshelves are temporary. They're Target cheapos we got for our wedding and after 3 moves they're in rough shape. Zach has a plan to build in some bookshelves to match the radiator cover. I'm picturing something like this.
The beautiful brass bed is a family piece of Zach's. I have to say I didn't like it when we first got married, but now I love it! The gold pillows are there because I haven't recovered them yet - no style choice. We also need some side tables. I want something spindly that reminds you of a ship. I sewed these curtains too. I like them, but I lined them with a grey fabric that makes them look green in the sunlight. It's odd. All the bedding is from Target except the quilt underneath. We got a great chenille bedspread at an auction for just a few dollars. I love the texture and old timey feel of it.
And finally, a few "we-done-it" side-by-sides:
So, what's left in here?
Check out my rope lamp! It's probably my favorite part in this room. I got it for a dollar or so at an auction, the same place I got the one for the little guest room. I used some inexpensive rope from a Walmart and a glue gun to make it nautical. I've also gotten a cute piece of coral from target. The dresser is awful, I admit it. I just can't decide what to do with it. I'm tempted to paint it, but it is pretty nice looking wood. Maybe I can just switch out the pulls with something like these?
