I am still trying to get my bedroom together. The palace painting from CB2 arrived earlier in the week. I'm not completely sure I'll be keeping it. While I like it, it might be too much. If I keep it, no doubt I'll have to remove the Capricorn picture.

The yellow headboard will be history. It's already on Craigslist. Ikea is having a fabulous one day sale on the Malm platform bed, today, but I'm not up to the 7 hour round trip. Given the chance that a long drive to Atlanta might net me nada, and I would want to paint the bed white if I could get it, I decided to go an easier route. I'm perfectly satisfied with my decision.
