Perfect Zzzzzzzzz's

Remember how I said I can't stop changing things in my home?? Well, my bedroom hasn't been changed one little bit since we moved in. That's right. We have a bed, a dresser and white walls. Exciting, right?? Wrong. We want to re-paint and re-decorate, but it's going to have to be on an UBER-budget (read: someone pays us to re-decorate). I want someplace calming and relaxing (read: getting rid of the intense fan/light combo that makes you feel like you're in an interrogation room.). I'm thinking blues? Maybe greys? I'm really not sure though... Do you love your bedroom? Do you have any suggestions for mine? It's pretty small - it will only accommodate our bed and the dresser, and maybe a nightstand... I'm open to any and all ideas! For now, here are some spaces that currently inspire me...

Could I keep the walls white and still make my room look this chic? I'm a little chicken when it comes to white walls. I'll admit it, I lean on paint colors like a crutch. I think the luxe drapes add a lot of drama without needing paint... Maybe that's the ticket...

I love all the color in this room. I really don't know how people combine this many colors and still make it look like a pulled-together space. Guess I'm still learning that one. The Navajo rug is brilliant~I never would have chosen that pattern for this room!

Louis Vuitton vintage suitcases as a nightstand? This bedroom can't help but be fab!

The soft palette in here is incredibly soothing. And those sconces are adorable! This makes me long for a beach home in the Hamptons *sigh*

Modern bedrooms can sometimes feel cold to me, but this is proof that minimalist modern can feel comfy and chic~sign me up!

A gabled roof and lattice windows will automatically make your bedroom cozy. Sometimes I get jealous of people whose houses have natural character... All I've got is asbestos popcorn ceilings~curse you 1970's building styles! ;)

I bet all the gentlemen would love to live in this bedroom. Why you say? It belongs to Meg Ryan =) Those tall windows and the barn door are adorable. Would you do a barn door in your home, or is it a bit too rustic? I personally love them.

I think a style like this is much more within my reach. It's pretty much monochromatic, and the up-to-there window treatments give the ceiling extra height (which my room desperately needs!).

Greys are so chic right now (they're the new taupe, as my friend says), and the yellow/grey look is particularly adorable. One thought, however... would this look feel right for all seasons? I could see myself becoming sick of the yellows in the middle of winter (unlike most of the rest of the country, I hang on to winter and it's "cold weather" ~60 degrees, as long as I possibly can!).

I'm falling in love with cowhide rugs lately; they add a bit of rustic interest to any room. I also love the look of the white walls and that gold side table.

This bed is GINORMOUS! Even so, it looks like a cozy place to cuddle.

What adorable window treatments! These are just too sweet for words! I've also always wanted an antique bust in my room. I think I'd use it to display particularly lovely necklaces (maybe something from my ultimate jewelry crush, Stella and Dot?).

Doesn't this room remind you of a more modern version of the children's room in Mary Poppins? I keep expecting Julie Andrews to walk into the frame and sing, "A Spoonful of Sugar."

This is proof that you can have a more masculine room without it feeling like a man cave. The plaid bedding and dark, rich wood tones make a man feel welcome in the space, but the softness of the drapes and the sweet ocean themed prints keep the space fresh enough for any chic lady.

This room feels so British I think it must speak with an accent. The metalwork on the bed frame is so classic, and the wallpaper is divine! If I went to boarding school in England, I would make SURE my room looked just like this.

That chaise is ADORABLE!! And that's it, we're putting french doors in our bedroom. Never mind the difficulty with our 70's, block-construction ranch home. It's done.

This modern take on the circus tent could have been SO BAD. But the rich fabrics, clean lines, luxe finishes, and attention to detail makes it SO GOOD. Bravo! P.S. Can I WEAR that fur throw on the sofa? Ok, thanks.

A tan, wing-backed, nail-head trimmed headboard? Kill. Me. Now. Death by pure design awesomeness!

See, now this makes me think I could TOTALLY make a bold color work in my bedroom. And anyone who knows me, knows I'm addicted to green. Would I be brave enough, though? Somehow I'm envisioning the color in my room looking like a sour green apple sno-cone exploded... Maybe not, after all.

Wow, holy gorgeous! This room looks rich~that's about all I can say. From the antique headboard, to the zebra rug to the painted silks... wow.

Those sconces spell D-R-A-M-A, in a good way. And can we talk about that white body pillow with green piping?? Yeah, I'll take eleventy-hundred of those, please and thank you.

Did you think I could EVER make it through a bedroom post without showing you something nautical?! Of course not! Oh blues and whites, where would I be without you?? And the vintage life-preserver looks amazing in this space. Yummy.

Holy longest post eveeeeeerrrrrrrrr!! I hope you enjoyed oogle-ing these photos as much as I did. Any you love? Hate? What is your favorite feature about your bedroom? I'm looking for ideas here, people! =) Happy Thursday, friends!
