In the beginning we have your basic male cave bed room.
 No headboard, lovely putty colored 
          walls, no wall decor. 









So let's get started I choose to begin by picking out a bed board, and found a used brass bed on CraigsList




 Next I gave the base board heater two coats of almond colored paint , and then painted the ceiling, white of course.

Time to pick a new wall color something perhaps more female friendly.  The winner is a color called Sunfish, it is a shade of peach.


 Now it is time to say goodbye to my green curtains the ones I found at the curtain shop in Hadley will do just fine


Now for a little wall decor, I selected this painting for over the bed


And theses pillar candle scones for the walls. I hung four them.



My room already had brass outlet plates As seen on the left.  I thought that would go fine with the brass bed. And I would be wrong. 

Against the peach the high shine of the brass seemed a little too loud. So I replaced them with an antique brass finish as seen on the right.

 


Next I selected a runner rug for the entrance of the room.


Then I needed to pick matching night stand lamps. I wanted strong lamps one's who color would pop against the peach, and pick up colors from the painting




I also picked up two eight inch small matching vase's for night stands



 Add in one new bed spread. And I dare say we have new look to the room
