I am looking for some suggestions, I am wanting to do some more decorating in the bedroom but am not sure what to do. My sister Martha had suggested using some of the dark green paint and putting leaves around on the light green walls. I think that I kind of like the idea but I am not sure where to do it- in a strip around the middle or maybe on the top or maybe just around the doors? Also I am wanting to add some gold touches to the room (I already have some pictures with gold frames and a gold lamp) and I was thinking maybe I could do a few leaves in gold, what do you think? Also does anybody have any great ideas for inexpensive headboards? (Ken doesn't like the shabby chic look).Our bed is a California King size bed and headboards seem to be quite expensive, I have thought about trying to make my own but haven't made it that far. Tell me what you think!

I love the bedroom. You can always make a big statement with color. You can bring in the dark green, that would look great. I like the leaves idea.
I've also seen headboards that are made from covering a wood board with batting and then cloth and pulling it tight and stapling it in the back. I've also seen people make a fake headboard by painting the wall above the bed. You can get pretty creative. There are lots of ideas online if you search for ideas for headboards. You have a great start. Keep up the good work.
The place I saw leaves (on a wall) she had painted the backs of real leaves then pressed them against the wall in a random pattern. I really liked it but I guess if you have too big of a place to do that might not be as good. she had it in all of her master bathroom.
oh another idea you could do light leaves on the dark walls of your closet too.
Thanks much for the ideas!
Mom painted a dark green ivy vine at the top of our living room wall (well, she has just tried it in one spot so far) and it was really nice. I think a border along the top wall is a really nice way for a room, I like the finishing touch there rather than around the doors. Not sure about gold ideas yet :)
Have fun... :)
