bedroom re-do...

My younger sister Catherine has been wanting to paint her room and make it look a little more sophisticated since she will be 20 in July (i can't believe that btw, to me she is only 17). Right now her room has cool tan walls with a chair rail at about 7', above the chair rail the wall and ceiling are painted a light green. Her furniture is all from Ikea, which she got about 6 years ago.

She has this bed (which they no longer sell at Ikea)...

and this dresser, from the leksvik collection at Ikea, which they also do not sell anymore...

She has a few other pieces in the room, a matching leksvik nightstand and a leksvik corner armoire desk. She will be getting rid of the desk, but the rest of the furniture stays (she's in college and doesn't live at home during the school year so the desk doesn't get much use anymore).

Sooooo, with this information and the fact that I know my lovely sister so well I came up with this....

Catherine's Room Re-do by tsmith86 on Polyvore.com

I wanted her room to have a more relaxing and grown-up feeling, something that she can come home to when she's not in school that doesn't remind her so much of high school. The furniture in this vignette is obviously not the same that she has, because the polyvore "clipper" wasn't working for some reason. She will be using her current bed, dresser and nightstand. I think this just gives the overall feeling of how the room will look.

I really like what I came up with. She really didn't want another beige room and I think the gray-blue walls and crisp white bedding will look wonderful and relaxing with her current furniture. I know that she loves orange, so I threw in a pop of orange with the throw pillow.

What do you think? I would love some feedback!

update: ah, i lied. ikea does still sell the leksvik collection.
