Colleen’s back at it with another great room, recreated for less! (PS We’re getting ready for some trips this summer, and I’m DYING for this orange swim suit Colleen shared this week. So cute!)
This bedroom from Traditional Home is deceptive–at first it looks like it has a lot going on, but with the exception of statement-making wallpaper, it’s a very neutral room. Let’s take a closer look.
The skinny white lamp looks crisp against the cobalt wallpaper.
If you’re fortunate enough to have a yard, bud vases are your very best friend for decorating. Add a few blooms from your yard and put them in every room.
This bed is such a find. Going neutral shouldn’t mean boring, so pick something with interest, like tufting or a scrolling shape.
The original roman shades use a Kravet fabric, but I quite like a wide neutral stripe too.
The wallpaper is absolutely the star of the room, and the saturated color is key. This Chinoiserie pattern is an economical alternative to the original Osborne & Little.
If wallpapering isn’t an option, this blue paint will look stunning with white trim.
Consider replacing the glass doors with mirrors–it’s pretty and functional.
Crystal pulls will add a little sparkle to a plain white wardrobe.
The bedding repeats the blue in the embroidery, on otherwise bright white sheets.
Just a simple white table for pretty things.
I’m a tchotchke person. I need my pointless pretty objects, thus a blue ginger jar.
A feminine and neutral pillow completes the bed.

It looks gorgeous! Love the idea!
I love this. It has a nice bed and breakfast feel.

The wallpaper is really busy but I like how it works with the simple bed and furniture!
I love the wallpaper, it's so unique!
This series is quickly becoming my favourite, not just out of the ones on this blog but out of the ones on ALL the blogs I read. I LOVE that it always features economical alternatives and sources I didn't previously know about. Kudos!!
Love this room, and your choices!
Have a great weekend Jenny!

Beautiful! I love how the graphic wallpaper adds to the room! We have Ralph Lauren Homeport Novelty in Marine on our site and I think it would look great in this room!
I love ur blog ;D

Gorgeous bedroom! I love the idea of a statement wallpaper and simple, neutral decor! So unexpected and modern. Thanks for sharing, Cynthia
I love this! Simply beautiful!
Great job, Colleen! I was especially impressed by the price point of the bed and the lamp.
I like the price point, but to be honest – it is too much for me. I feel like it's to busy. But I like the idea.
I like it, it's a tad to much in my opinion though. I would go with another wardrobe to get some more space. But other than that, very nice :)
wow nice blog moom, can you help me to design my blog??

Nice job recreating the look!

LOVE this! I am a huge fan of blue rooms. :-) Thanks for the breakdown.
I almost think I like the copy cat room more!
I did not realize that cobalt looks so gorgeous in decor. Thanks for sharing your work.
Oh my gosh, LOVE that wallpaper! I would never guess that it could look so great on the wall by just looking at a little swatch, but it couldn't look better! I think I need to be braver with my design choices! :)
XO Star @ Peace Love Wander

Really lovely wallpaper there! I'd want one.
Gorgeous! Love the round up! great job!
What a great idea. Nice job recreating the look.
I love all your "Copy Cat" design posts! Another great option for the bed is this bargain upholstered headboard from Home Decorator's Collection. I'm sharing it just incase anyone likes the look of the curved headboard over the peaked headboard. I know curved is my personal preference!
