DREAM Bedroom & First Painting!!

So I finished (almost) a painting in one day!! It was one of the best that I have ever created, until I added the background! Argh! So I have to take it out and put back the rolling hills that I had before...
I also put together a list of everything I've seen that I'd love to have in my apartment when I move out. I'll attach some pics. You'll be able to tell pretty quickly that I like classic neutral colors - a lot of white, more modern style - almost swiss/danish/swedish in it's simplicity with a pop of color. I've been highly influenced by a great friend (more like a sister) who's italian-swiss. She has impeccable taste! - Stefanie (above left, me right)!! :)
I keep trying to convince her that she should be a personal shopper... she'd be rich. You should see how amazingly beautifully she dresses her two little daughters (and herself of course)...
Below are some pics of what I might put in my Dream Bedroom... on a realistic budget!! :)
Tomorrow I'll post my dream living room...
West Elm bed (above).
Marimekko bedding from Crate & Barrel.
West Elm full length mirror (above).


Ikea drawers.
West Elm lamp (above).
I have 2 bedside lamps similar to these, from Target. This one is available at lampsplus.com.
I also have 2 bedside lamps similar to the above (thanks Stefanie!!) so I am all set for 2 bedrooms!! This lamp is available at Target for under $20!
Jonathan Adler lamp (above). I love the African feel it has...
Crate & Barrel Succulents/Plants (above & below) to put on the side table or a chest of drawers
