I've been working on this bedroom off and on for a week. I'm not sure what I think about it yet but I thought I'd give you guys a preview. I'm thinking it's too bright and colorful during the day and I should think about toning down the bedspreads because I want to keep the walls and the carpet. Any suggestions? You can post them here or PM me if you want.

Other than being a little bright it looks really nice Miss Kathy. You've done a really good job on it.

I love the colors! I do agree that it's a bit bright, but I really like where you're going with this room. It's so cheery

Beautiful work!

It is a bit bright (that line seems to be this topic's theme ) but it's excellent none the less! I love it! Can't wait to see it when it's all done.

how in the world did you do that!!!? i think it looks good but like others said it is a little bright but i like it

Thank you to those who are replying and PMing me. Does anyone have any suggestions for dimming it down? I want to keep the carpet and yellow walls. Perhaps I can darken them up a bit? Should I have only 2 or 3 colors of bedding instead of 6?

I'm not sure what I should do next to tone it down, which is why I'm asking for suggestions/ideas. I really need some ideas to try out.

Sweezy1992, I basically repainted everything using a paintbrush and then eraser tool in Photoshop. The carpet is actually a photo of a tulip plantation I found online and loved the colors so built the bedroom around it. The floor I pieced together from the living room. Really, REALLY strained my eyes on this project so my eyes will be taking a break to rest up.

Looking at it again, I'd say the only really bright color in the room is the rug, which I personally really like, so.... In all honesty I really don't think it's TOO bright, just maybe a bit much for some.

Also, I see that the beds seem to be further from the wall then they used to be. Was this deliberate or...? I only mention it because it gives the illusion that the kids' room is higher than the parents'.

Hi Krystal, actually the beds and desk are too close to the walls. LOL! I'll need to move them a bit before I post the maps. Thank you for your comments as well.

I agree with Krystal on the beds, I do really like how they look as they are, it's just the carpet that brightens it up that much more. You can try playing around with the carpet once you get some rest from straining over the room.

Let us know how it goes!

hmm... then I must be crazy (which is likely anyway) because I could've sworn there was more flooring behind the beds than usual... oh well.
