Hi Bonnie!
I need visuals, too! I have a lot of favorite books - but most of my ideas come from looking at decorating magazines or just falling in love with a color or something I come across in a store or in nature. Color is probably my biggest inspiration.
That's probably why my bedroom started by picking the colors first. But, it's almost easier sometimes to pick something you love like a painting and then build your bedroom around that - tapping into the colors, theme, etc.
Have you thought about hanging a lightweight painted canvas or fabric over your bed? Something that adds personality and color that won't break or hurt someone if it falls? Or can you paint directly onto the wall?
Thanks for sharing about Myles of Style. I haven't seen that show - now you have me curious.
