Changes to My House, and Plans for a New Room

By Southshoredecoratingblog

 First, here is a little vignette I just did in my bedroom. The table was an old console that I covered in blue silk. Everything else you see is Home Goods - the lamps, the frames, the orchid, and the little gold rimmed dishes I found yesterday for a steal - about $3 each. I love that I can see all of my jewelry now (and before any robbers get excited...it's all fake. Anything good is on my body or in a safe). The long gold leaf tray has rings and is my favorite, for organization because rings are small and I can never find what I want.  Actually, even the table was Home Goods now that I think about it. What would I do without that place?
Here are the crappy ipad photos of it because I was far to lazy to look for my camera:


And I posted yesterdayabout how Ellie really wants a new room for her birthday.  Remember, her #1 request - carpeted walls?  I talked her out of that.  Here's how I did it: by telling her maybe she could have a built in bed.  She has an alcove in her room that is perfect for it.  It's a disaster now, but I'll show you soon.
So here are the ideas I'm considering (photos linked to sources, so just click to view):
Of course she will only have one bed, but this is the closest (except color wise) to what hers will be. One built in bed with a trundle drawer underneath, (for another mattress) and a canopy. Definitely shelves, too. Picture this cut in half in pink and green:

Although I think I'm liking the outward facing shelves better, like this one: 

And I do love that head board - I'll have to get creative there. Actually, with the canopy like photo 1, that might be too much. Thoughts?
I also like these curtains for privacy, but my husband doesn't. Still might happen though :)

Ok, shelves facing in like above, or out like photo 2?Curtains? Canopy? Both?Headboard so it is like a daybed? With a canopy or instead of?
I love to hear your opinions!
