apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Overall, that's a stunning room - tho I'd still want a headboard and some table lamps - and the tiny rug at the foot of the bed seems a sad little afterthought...

It would look 10 times better without those plates on the wall. Love the paint color, though.

This is almost like something out of the early 70s off of Lileks Interior Desecrators page. Very early American - I can see Samantha and Derwood doing a room like this.

The Paramount Hotel used to use large-scale paintings bolted to the wall as headboards--I think it's a great look. I LOVE the saturated blue of this room and the blue in the Delft chandelier--nice touch.
Great find Regina.

swap the braided rug for something more lavish and much larger. Next, lose the plates and hang similar size and shape vinytage mirrors over the dressers and then this room would be pretty sweet.

Love that painting, but it is awfully low... wouldn't you keep bumping your head against it? dangerous for the painting, as well as uncomfortable.

(and great suggestions Seaside)

I'm not too fond of plates in bedrooms either, but the room is lovely anyhow.

that idea to swap the plates for vintage mirros is a great one, seaside.

If the painting is worth anything, it shouldn't be hung low enough to be a headboard.

(I could see a reproduction used that way, but hair oil and dust and the weight of heads pressing against stretched canvas can and probably will damage original art.)

Even a moderately low headboard overlapping the painting but supporting the people away from the canvas would make the LOOK possible without likely damage.

(I used to work in an art museum...)

omg, upon first look I totally thought that painting was a window with a view.
