Hey there my Frankie Fashionista's!
Last night, I was trying to figure out what exactly I wanted to do my first decorating blog on, and it occurred to me; my 'The Damsel is Baroque' Collection is the perfect Collection to start with! Beautiful, fun, classic, and a total Autumn Collection, it screams Wake Up Frankie.
So today I am going to use this wonderful Baroque Masterpiece as inspiration, and show you lovelies how to turn your room into the perfect combination of modern and mid-century!
Let's start with those walls...

After you choose your paint colors, you will then need to figure out how you want to paint the room itself. Now, personally, I love a clean, glamorous look for a bedroom. I mean look at my last two room makeovers, but this is all personally preference. However, if I was going to personally re-do my room with this wonderful Collection, I would use the Metallic Glaze for stenciling, and accent work, and keep my walls white. If the Metallic Glaze is too much, you can do this same thing with the Stuart Gold Color we had picked out.
Try to find stencils that match the collection, such as music notes, or floral patterns. You can even find different phrases and sayings in stencil form on websites such as www.tradingphrases.com
www.walltowallstencils.com. Certain websites will actually allow you to create your own! Once you find a few stencils you think are perfect, be sure to use which ever gold you chose as your accent colors, and apply them to your walls. Always use one wall as an accent wall/focal point, and I would use that wall as the host of your wonderfully creative stencil!
Now for accessories...
Because the look we're ultimately trying to achieve is clean, you'll want to keep the walls white, or an off white, and use the gold for all your accessories. Hang small shelves on one wall to place your books and nick-knacks on and paint them the gold color you used on your walls, and paint your picture frames the same color gold! You are almost always going to find something that is just perfect, but the wrong color. So there is no need to panic, just re-paint it!

Remember the glass vanity in my bedroom, and how I've changed the knobs on that vanity to match my bedroom decor each time I do a room make-over? It's super simple and easy to do. You can find cute drawer knobs at almost any home decor website, or department store!
As for lighting, I am a huge fan of Chandeliers. It is my belief that every woman needs a chandelier in ever room in her house. In fact, two Chandeliers per room if space allows. So It's no surprise that I'd go with Wake Up Frankie's Small Antique White Rose Beaded Chandelier as a perfect fit for this classic yet glamorous room.
If you're wanting something a little more simple, you can always go with our Shades of Rose Accent Lamps, or our 5 Tealight Beaded Chandelier. Either of these would be a fabulous alternative accent piece with this collection and give you a nice cross lighting effect.
Use our White Bouquet Window Panels together with our Gold Organza Window Panels, and tie them back with a large, gold satin ribbon, or even a large gold fabric rope, and voila!
There you have it, a simple yet fabulous room makeover, that is perfect for any age!
'Til next time lovelies!
Last but certainly not least...
The amazing bedding. Golds, Whites, and leopard prints, tie this room together perfectly.There you have it, a simple yet fabulous room makeover, that is perfect for any age!
