They say that imitation is the highest form of flattery. If that is the case, then I am full of flattery… for others.
An example – I found this photo on Rate my Space many, many moons ago.
I loved the room then. I love it now. I needed inspiration for our master bedroom. I didn’t want it to be too girly, or too masculine. I thought this was a good blend. While I didn’t want our bedroom identical, I did like the serenity of the blue, the contrast of the blue, black/brown and white, and the letters.
I have a thing for letters (along with most of the Internet).
Ever since we’ve gotten married, I have put letters and monograms anywhere I could. On a necklace, a ring, a shower curtain, a window in our dining room…
And, now we’ve finally “lettered” our bedroom wall.
Here’s the bedroom’s most recent before.
I liked it. It was much better than its beginning. But, I wanted to change it up. There was a lot of squareness going on.
And I like to think that Ryan and are anything but square.
The vinyl is from my friend, Laura. Visit her at her online store to find lots of beautiful things. I highly recommend her. Don’t you love the swirlies?
I think it looks great. And, I certainly prefer it to the ceiling tiles that were there before. But, they were nearly free, so I’m not worried about them losing their home.
I love making little changes that seem to make the room look totally new.
What do you think?

For the love of all things holy–just when I thought this space couldn’t get any better. Your bedroom’s so beautiful, I sorta want to cry right now. The colors, the bedding, and now that monogram. PERFECTION.

I definitely like the monogram better than the tiles. I love monogrammed stuff too!! But they are always out of “A”s
carrie @ brick city love says
It looks awesome!
Laura @ TheMeckleys says
Oh em gee! That looks fantastic!! I had to do a double take on your new room photo – I totally thought it was from a magazine, then I realized that was a custom decal. =)
How did the application go? Did you do the hinge method and cut flaps like we discussed?

That’s a lot of decorating punch with a small change! Love your monogram… it’s neat that you can get those in vinyl. It would be hard to stencil something that perfect.
Happy Met Monday…
XO,

Lindsey says
I love it, especially the swirlies!!
Meredith says
I LOVE it!
I can’t tell from the picture–are your walls textured? Ours are heavily textured, which is the only thing that’s stopped me from doing the same!
Emily says
It’s fabulous – I think the round shape is definitely necessary over the square headboard. Love it!
Jenny @ Words on Wendhurst says
Fantastic! I think you do a great job of balancing the feminine/masculine thing. ๐ Love how the room is transforming!
Jill says
I like it! If I ever get around to doing the bedroom, there might be more copying.
What’s the color on the bedroom walls?
Kelly says
I really like it! What’s crazy is that was the same inspiration room for our bedroom–same exact RMS post! We ordered the initial and the scrolls, and we love them!
Marcy Tate says
Kim, it’s really gorgeous! I love the blue and brown, amazing! How did you do the lettering?
