- What do you love about your bedroom?:
- I love the large windows and how on weekends the light will flood in and warm up the space. My absolute favorite place to be in my apartment is in bed!
- What are your tips for creating a beautiful, healthy and organized bedroom?
- To create a bedroom that is a soothing retreat scale and proportions must be considered. Choosing a bed and furniture that fit the space without being oversized is important. The other details that make a healthy bedroom are adding lighting that can be accessed from bed for reading, a side table with drawers or adequate storage and lastly a place display objects and things that bring you happiness whenever you see them.
- In modern homes, bedrooms have become more than just a place to sleep; they can be a retreat, a home office, a library, a relaxation zone. What are some ways you make the most of your bedroom?
- In my bedroom I have a chair for reading when I don't feel like sitting in bed and a vanity that doubles as a place to apply makeup and put on jewelry as well as a desk to work on my laptop for nights when I'm feeling extra productive and not ready for bed.

I love that bed. Your room is sweet and soothing.
Absolutely love that light fixture!
I love this room. The headboard, the light, the mirrors...EVERYTHING!
I love the table lamps!!!! Fabulous
Headboard LOVE!
And now I have the Muskrat Love earworm. That'll teach me to love a headboard!
What a great space! I love how uncluttered it feels! Oh and those mirrors are awesome.:)
I love it. I have the same quilt (white and gray). Where are the lamps from? Love them.
Yes! The lamps! I love them! I now covet them!
The lamps are Robert Abbey from Lamps Plus. They come in a number of colors!
Looooove it. Obviously.
This is definitely one of my favourites. Can you tell us where you got the mirror and little round thingys above your bed?
Yes, the round thingies! I want to know about them too.
What color is that on your wall? And where did you get that chandelier?
Thank you!
The round mirror came from a random site - you can find a similar one through Bellacor, I had to paint it those colors. The round urchins are made by Two's Company - you can find them on eBay, the wall color is Benjamin Moore, Abalone and the chandelier is antique and purchased as at Flea Market - a similar one can be found through Pottery Barn.
More information can be found on my blog about how the room came together here, http://fourthfloorwalkup.com/2012/07/06/bedroom-updates-part-1-the-bed/
