I have decided that this spring I'm going to redecorate my bedroom. Get new furniture that actually matches and new color scheme. I'm going for a mediterranian(sp) look based on these wall sconces I found on Home Depot's site. I also plan on getting or building(hah) a platform bed but with rounded edges as I'm very clumbsy. Now usually I don't do this but I would like some opinions on color schemes to go with the lights. Oh wait let me find a pic. brb.

Painting. And I'm going to make wooden cornices for the windows with some kinda fabric that I also want to used for a padded headboard.

Thanks! I'm thinking of an accent wall with a bold color and then something lighter for the other walls and ceiling. I'm not sure what to do with the carpet. It needs to be taken up but I can't afford to recarpet anytime soon.

Interesting idea Texannie but it's only a subfloor under the carpet or I'd have ripped it up months ago lol. But can you paint a subfloor?

Wooden? I don't see why not. Could you stain it?

Yep. Hmm interesting. I'm going to keep that in mind. Now I'm thinking to try that in the living room. I'm going to have wood floors put in sometime this summer but the carpet is just horrible and Spike keeps tearing it up.

to keep with the colors of your sconces, you may want to paint the floor and then do a whitewash over the top of that. so that it would mute it. just a thought

That would be pretty too. Go for bold in the rug plus would probably show less wear and tear.

I don't know about painting a subfloor. IME, subfloors are pretty crappy plywood, and painting wouldn't help much, and may leave you with splinters. You might be better off just leaving the carpet and putting an area rug over it. As for colors, for some reason I look at those lights and think eggplant for an accent wall, though I don't know how Mediterranean that would be.

M, take it from my experience, choose your bedspread and curtains and then pick your paint color, lol.
