Weird...I can see it. I'll have to try posting it another way when I get home tonight.

Hmmmmm....maybe it's fixed, because I can see it! I love the color of your walls - so pretty.

Do you have a particular style you like - modern, traditional? Any husband constraints? Ex., I dream of having a bedroom decorated in toile, but my husband and I have compromised on a less "girly" style.

NCshopper · Hermes

Our style is pretty modern/eclectic. Not too many husband issues, except he wouldn't want anything too girly, obviously. I'm decent at putting together the basics for a room, but I lack in the skill of accessorizing rooms. It doesn't really help that our bedroom is pretty much always a mess too. I think I need to look into some nice looking storage stuff too just for junk.

Christine · Coach

I can't see the pic either :(

NCshopper · Hermes

Okay, how's this?

Cricket · Gucci

Have you seen Nate Berkus' new line at LNT? Looks like it might work in your room.

That's pretty, but I don't want to change my bedding. I'm mainly looking for ideas for accessories and something to put on the wall above the bed, either a headboard or a picture or something.

for some reason I want to say I saw a room this color in Domino mag last month. I think they did a lot of clear furniture and it looked pretty cute and modern. Maybe check your grocery store to see if you can find it...

Crap! I was afraid of that!

How's this?

I can finally see the pic now! I love that color. It's like the color of a Tiffany's box

. I also think that lucite/clear things might look really cool. Good idea, lindsayp! Maybe you could buy some more things in that goldenrod color of the pillow?

Metric · Gucci

I can't finally see it. What about a long (hortizontal) picture above the bed? Or a set of a few pics? Like maybe something that incorperates the yellow, white and teal in a frame to match the dresser? My mom has some beautiful Greek landscapes in her guest bedroom, I think something along that line would work for you.

For Example...

halleybird · Hermes

I like Brazen Canadian's ideas...the greek prints are beautiful, especially if the rest of your house leans toward contemporary rather than modern.

You could also go totally retro/geometric in there, too... a lot of black & white accents, and maybe a tiny bit of red or yellow here & there. Like theotherjess suggested, you could use some cool lucite pieces & stuff like this:

Fieldcrest Cashmere Garnet Toss Pillow Fieldcrest Red Throw Pillow

maybe a set of 2 or 3 of these above the bed:
