Bedroom Inspiration

Since Pintererst has taken over the world (my world?), there is no lack of inspiration these days for anything anyone could possibly imagine. It has been a savior and a curse for coming up with ideas for my new apartment. Basically I would need about a 100 room apartment to do/try every idea I have. So it's been challenging to boil it down to just a few looks (even my little faux-room leading to my bedroom and bathroom is going to get something as it will be a great little place to experiment with a bold wall pattern - stay tuned!).

Over the years, I usually have painted my bedrooms very pale colors - sky blue, pale pink, gray, or even kept it white with an accent wall.  And while I think light colors are really calming and give an airiness to a space, my new bedroom just wasn't going to feel light and airy - it's dark. Probably the darkest bedroom I've ever had. So instead of trying to lighten it up, I figured I would embrace the dark side and do something very dramatic - and totally different for me. Pinterest to the rescue:

Yup. My walls got a coat of navy. I'm loving it. It's incredibly dark and cozy. Pictures to follow shortly - I'm hoping to put up some art this weekend to make it feel more finished - well, for the time being at least...
