A few days ago, we showed you Degerkas' orange fireplace. We also wanted to share her bedroom (tagged with apartmenttherapychicago), since we think the color combination is unique and really works well in the space. More photos below.
Flickr Finds: Degerkas' Bedroom
Degerkas says: "Not able to afford a new bedroom set, some craigslist/flea market finds became a super cool bedroom set with just the help of some paint and matching hardware. We bought the middle [tile] from a local carpenter/artist and had him make two more because we liked it so much."
The telephone chair is a "...$5 Flea market find, all I had to do was re-foam and recover the seat."
We're impressed with her thrifting skills and we think she brought together some great budget finds into a space that really reflects her style and personality.
Thanks, Degerkas!

Those lamps are great - I enjoy how she used the color in various elements throughout the room.

What clean night tables. No books, alarm clocks or clutter and yes, I do notice it has a drawer.

I'd give an appendage or two to be able to envision and use color that way.

What a lovely room! I have some similar shades of purple/gray in my room and this gives me lots of food for thought.

I love those lamps! Where can I find them?

Nish,
We actually found them on craigslist. The couple said that they got them in Arizona in the 1960's. We put new lampshades on them to freshen them up. Good luck!

urbangranolagirl,
The wall paint is Valsar (Lowes brand) and the color is Coffee Bean. When we painted it on the walls, it looked like we were smearing chocolate on them. It was fun!

Your dresser is superfun too! Did you apply a gloss or is the paint just that shiny? Love it!
