Apartment Porn: Potential Bed(room) Ideas ...and Current Room

My boyfriend and I went to Ikea this evening to look at some furniture and get some ideas on prices and what we would like when we move out this summer.  I wanted to look at wardrobes, since apartments never seem to have enough storage these days, not to mention my boyfriend and I both have a ton of clothing.  I found a nice mirrored wardrobe which I am thinking will probably be our choice. However, I could not find any bedding or bedframes that I like.  I think I'm going to have to find a vintage bedframe and get it restored and re-upholstered (my mum is amazing at that kind of thing!) 

I really like the pop of mustard in this one..it's so vibrant and fun

This one is gorgeous..I really love the upholstered look with the clawfoot legs.  It's so feminine and vintage!

 I don't know if anyone is familiar with the show "The Secret Diary of a Call Girl" with Billie Piper as Belle but I LOVE her bedroom.  It's really hard to find pictures of the room but I did find a couple (which really don't do it any justice).  Her bedroom has a really vintage feel with lots of unique colors and interesting textures

And here is a better look at the bed

Here are some overall bedrooms I like..although I am fairly certain that my boyfriend will not agree..I'm going to have to compromise with him and perhaps get a really girly bedframe and tone down some of the accessories

For me, this one has a tad too much going on but there are elements I really like such as the floral wallpaper, the gorgeous square mirror paired with a rustic looking desk, the indian style mirror on the right. However, I would never pair these together.  I really like a bold wallpaper, but I generally prefer a larger print, and just on a feature wall as opposed to an entire room.



I think I may be able to get a bed that I like eventually, but they are quite expensive..if you look up "Louie bed" you can see what I'm dealing with!

This is my current bedroom.  I have a really bright accent wall behind my bed in a mango/peachy/pinky color with a really nice button tufted style bed set.  The mirror was something I picked up at Home Sense for $250...there were about 10 of them.  I purchased it and left it there because I had to get my dad's pickup truck.  The next day there were only 2 or 3 of them left! They literally FLEW off the shelves! I just love the victorian, Marie Antoinette style of the mirror.  The lamp was also purchased at Home Sense on a different trip..it's got a glass base with a really pretty damask pattern.  In the mirror you can sort of see my vintage geisha painting which I picked up on Ebay (the print, not the frame).  I love the colors of it and I picked my wall color from this painting.

Oh my lord I'm so excited to start designing my new apartment!!!!!
