I have antique brown furniture in my bedroom and I want to re-decorate and make it a beach cottage theme?

pinkinmv aksed: I can change everything else, the head board the wall paint and decor but the furniture I cant change, the furniture is..... a make up table, a high boy cabinet with drawers, a wide dresser, another taller skinnier dresser, a desk that folds down to a desk and two end tables next to the bed. Any suggestions?

Now pick an interior bedroom scene with dark wood furniture. Write in the color Rainwashed and copy it onto the walls. The trim should be bright white as should the ceiling. Those are the perfect beach cottage colors. I've done several beach or cottage themed rooms with these colors and clients are in love with the room when they see it.
I agree with the indoor shutters on the windows or for a more polished look, white flowing sheers. Depending on your age, if you're a young person for a bedspread, something like this would be a choice of mine: http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product. asp?order_num=-1&SKU=118756&RN=3 1
If older, something more like: http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product. asp?order_num=-1&SKU=123300&RN=3 1
One or two nicely framed pictures, a smart trick is to go to art.com and get posters and then buy inexpensive white or dark wood frames from a local craft store. Here are my suggestions with this room: http://www.art.com/products/p12879155-sa -i2056282/fabrice-de-villeneuve-ocean-am aryllis.htm?sorig=cat&sorigid=0& dimvals=0&ui=a2a275e66cf24282b7d785b 751a497fc and http://www.art.com/products/p10283309-sa -i1152391/carol-saxe-sea-breeze-i.htm?so rig=cat&sorigid=0&dimvals=0& ui=a2a275e66cf24282b7d785b751a497fc
Maybe a nice big shell set on a dresser or night stand. Not much more than that, you want to have the affect of uncluttered and breezy.

Maybe you could paint your furniture white or refinish it in a weathered stain. Go with pastels like aqua-peach etc colors. Add some sea shells and things like that for decorations.

what are some creative, inexpensive ways to decorate a bedroom??????
