Adding Color to My Bedroom

I have shown this picture before and at the time liked the look but now with summer I wanted brighter colors in my bedroom and something above the bed.  I couldn't get inspired to get it done until I got a few new pieces of fabric in the mail, the fabric was the perfect colors for my bedroom.

A couple of months ago, I had purchased some wool felt to make this pillow and made it first.  It is a great tutorial and the end result is beautiful.

I just added some basic pillows on each side and a couple of small round pillows from a pattern at Sew4Home, which is a great sewing site.  Here are the pillows on the bed

I took the old lamps

spray painted them Heirloom white and covered the lampshade with fabric for this result:

Now for the wall, I went to my attic and dug around. Found a picture frame and this platter

and sprayed painted them Heirloom White also.  Here is the result

I have been watching Sarah's House on HGTV and liked how she mixes and matches all the prints.  Plus, in the master bedroom, I liked the fabric band on the neutral curtains.

So I added a band on all my curtains, this area needs some work.  I am open to suggestions, a table between the chairs, maybe?  Like my tennis shoes on the floor!

Here is one more picture

I want to add more picture frames above the bed, but I am out of spray paint and you can't find that color in my town!  I worked on this project in the evenings and spray painted between all the rain we have been getting.
