I think a bedroom should be as serene and uncluttered as possible.

Are you sure they're original? They would probably be of varying widths if original. If you're confident they're original, I don't think I could recommend painting them. If they're not, I'd paint them white in a second.An Urban Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08666212353075804092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5149254516032374077.post-6349654201505604232010-08-17T13:17:53.338-03:002010-08-17T13:17:53.338-03:00This post reminds me of this: http://www.theletter...This post reminds me of this: http://www.theletteredcottage.net/2010/05/working-with-natural-wood-walls.html<br /><br />I kind of love the natural wood on the wall. Also, I think I love the green. So if you paint the other walls white (or what about very light grey?), will you paint a piece of furniture or two green? Or maybe paint those dollhouses green? They're awesome. (I love pink/green combos, and that sweet quilt needs something pretty to compliment it!)<br /><br />Maybe consider hanging a white picture frame or other object on that wood wall? <br /><br />Love that you're inspiration is hoarders!! :) So funny!jen @ homeinthecountryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04814357849053335890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5149254516032374077.post-7181054940549324132010-08-17T10:05:34.397-03:002010-08-17T10:05:34.397-03:00Well if it were me, I would probably paint the wal...Well if it were me, I would probably paint the wall a creamy white.<br /><br />xo<br />LeAnnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5149254516032374077.post-18051956911741715982010-08-17T07:56:22.021-03:002010-08-17T07:56:22.021-03:00No to painting that original finish wall!!!

The first rule of restoration vs. renovation is to leave original finishes alone.<br />You don't mention what the floor is - could it be the original spruce or fir boards?<br />As for colour, a pale cream or your beloved cloud white is the way to go. Declutter the shelves, keep the lovely miniature houses but paint them indivisual colour schemes and spread them out on the otherwise now empty shelves.<br />Do you need a window treatment at all?<br />BTW this furniture would be nice in a larger room but this room needs smaller scale and more "period" furniture - a small period chest of drawers and maybe a nice primitive washstand along with a simple chair and perhaps a carpenter's box or a sea chest?Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17643680000059427128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5149254516032374077.post-14633418407382901882010-08-17T03:03:35.216-03:002010-08-17T03:03:35.216-03:00Why has the wall never been painted?

Would a softer green look nice? Maybe a very soft taupey color? I do mean very soft and subtle? Any other colors in the quilt? Your room has great bones. Maybe a buttercream color on the walls but still white on the wood? Keep us posted!Sweet Bee Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12621819781979605687noreply@blogger.com
