Hmmm...what to do..

This bedroom really makes me want to take a nap on this gloomy Iowa day.

Speaking of bedrooms...I have been thinking a lot lately about switching mine up. Yes~already. I just painted it a couple years ago. It is a color called "Pine Needle" by the Eddie Bauer collection. I really love it, but sometimes I want to go with a more neutral color and make the bedroom primarily in whites/browns/blacks/beiges. My bedding is a velvet duvet in ivory from Pottery Barn. I don't like the decor in our bedroom at all~it just needs an overhaul. I think new window treatments would help a ton. I would love to get ivory silk curtains to match my ivory bedding.

I once heard on Oprah that our bedrooms are our most neglected rooms because nobody sees them except us, and we put all our effort into the rest of the house. However, we spend a majority of our time in our bedrooms and they should be our santuary~calm, relaxing, dreamy. I fall into this trend and have seemed to neglect the bedroom. Sure~it could be worse. But I want a room that when I walk into it takes me to another place.

I would love to see what you all have done with your bedrooms. Do you have pics? Do you have any ideas for me~or a direction I should take with changing it up a bit for cheap? I know I do love my duvet and so that is what I am basing the rest of the room upon. Should I stick with the "Pine Needle" walls or go with a neutral shade? I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions!
