Bedroom Wall Art

Never before have I stuck to such a limited color palette as I have in our master bedroom, but I’m kind of digging it.

The blues, whites, and creams are really serene and restful. Even the craiglisted wing chair is more of a blue-ish green. The dark wood floors and bedframe and the few pops of green, yellow, and pink are a nice contrast.

But I worry that the whole thing is starting to tilt a little too sugary-sweet. I want to bring in some edginess. You may have noticed that the area above my armoire is looking pretty bare. I feel like it needs some art that’s large and in charge, and can balance out the oldladyishness of the lace I’ve got draped over the armoire door.

I’m pretty much in love with this peacock print. And when I googled the artist to see more of her work, I about died. Check out her etsy shop. She’s adorable.

It’s sweet, and at the same time a nice contrast to what we’ve got in the room so far. If our bed is looking a little like cotton candy, Mr. Pavo Real is like a fruit salad. He”s fresh and vibrant and I likes it.

And, because I’m obsessed with words, I’d love to creatively display a meaningul phrase. I’m kind of digging these for inspiration:

Once I get my decorating budget for June I’m going to order that peacock print and a frame for it. I’ve already got an 11″x14″ canvas just waiting to be made over, but part of me thinks maybe I should wait until I’ve got the peacock print up to decide exactly which direction I’ll take with it. But seriously, what’s the worst case scenario? I can always paint over it if I want to make a change. I guess we’ll see how inspired I’m feeling this weekend. We all know I’ve got plenty of other projects to keep me busy in the meantime!
