I redecorated our bedroom behind my wife’s back…. Will she like it?

[@janpritchard8796]

I think you need wide. Blue velvet ribbon to match the bed on the bottom of the curtains to lengthen them, as well as blue velvet tie backs for the curtains

[@gailcraig4495]

Yes, this idea really sounds nice!

[@moiragoldsmith7052]

Add a contrasting piece of material to the bottom of your curtains and make a pelmit and cover with the same contrasting material. It looks lovely. I am thrilled you appear to be keeping this home.🥳🥰

[@marcyhough8511]

I agree. How about pulling the blue from the bed in with blue velvet or fringe?

[@sandramapstone5601]

I had the same idea, just sew a contrasting fabric to the bottom for the extra length.

[@heidigresh2743]

I was thinking the same but add some bling with a beaded fringe and ribbon.

[@jennifercampbell7698]

And I’d swap the 2 lamps to give greater space for the mirror.

[@bellaluna321]

That's a great idea.....i think the blue from the bed would look awesome!

[@audreycoggins1652]

Ed, I think the room could also use a lovely rug :) I know you were hinting at a blanket box, but I love the strong blue addition of the bed. I'd go rug ;)

[@trinitystarclararose7118]

Yes absolutely a rug.😊

[@anitaaldridge4334]

I agree! Don't hide the bed and a rug is definitely needed

[@sheilaabayateye1558]

Yes youre right it needs softness and warmth

[@christineh5790]

My immediate thought when I viewed was to add a fairly large rug to soften the room and not to hide the beautiful bed end. 💖

[@sallyo100]

Edd and Anna, when you can afford longer curtains, raise the rod to ceiling height. It will make the room feel even more special (it's what they do in luxury hotels). ✨️ 🙂

[@lyndajohnston924]

Ikea have lined velvet curtains w/o grommet tops in long lengths - check them out 🇨🇦

[@michelleb6409]

aboslutely agree

[@trevortigger]

Shame none of you listened when Ed stated "Please do not comment on the length of the curtains as we will be changing that!"

[@trevortigger]

@@sheilaabayateye1558 Hmmmmm, you agreed with a comment that said "when you can afford longer curtains"! I hardly thing that a pair of curtains would break the bank for Ed and Anna. Personally, I woud say "THAT" comment were rude!

[@tc7486]

Or, I have before bought extra panels and used them to sew onto the bottom, maybe 18” from the floor, and where the fabric is joined make a tuck or 3 that looks like it was designed that way.

[@marydavis2444]

I love the idea of a color on the walls so everything pops plus adding edging on the curtains in the blue of bed is a terrific idea.

[@elizabethwitte6417]

Definitely agree the walls need color!❤😊

[@jaimeochoa7256]

Great job, and Anna was delighted with the surprise...❤

[@LCNWA]

Maybe consider a cornice board to cover the top of curtains helps keep cold out too! Then you don't have to take out the hem or extend the length.

[@essietangle9931]

On the curtains it might be nice to add a blue fabric on the bottom that coordinates with the blue of the bed. Might make them look custom. Just an idea.

[@carolmcreynolds7761]

Beautiful bedroom, I would not hide the beautiful blue velvet at the foot of the bed. The settee that you saw would look lovely below the tapestry❤

[@deborahstarr6147]

That bed/wardrobe ensemble is magnificent!

[@dashaway1460]

What a lovely and very peaceful room!

[@isobelchapman9548]

Loving the outcome. My only comment would be that I think your mirror would look lovely in your alcove, especially if you manage to get a wee sofa. That way you can dress the top of the fireplace which would certainly lend itself to adding some colour with the dressings. Hope you don’t mind me commenting.

[@stj971]

Mirror would look nice, would bring light to that corner

[@jefflawrentz1624]

I like what you’ve done with the room - at the foot of the bed - I would search out a Louis XV style bench with upholstered seat. For the niche to the right of the fireplace I’d definitely put a bookcase. Well done, Edd & Anna !

[@kathleenabrahams9687]

So glad you decided to utilize that suite of bed and surround in that room. That was the original idea after all and I was disappointed when you had decided not to use it in the earlier blogs.

[@TheSassy1962]

I agree, Jeff.

[@metropcs7560]

Floor to ceiling curtains, rugs, chandeliers, more pictures and end tables.

[@lindanussbaum5897]

Beautiful room. The tapestry should hang just a tad higher. Art is hung at eye level, however, in keeping with older traditional decor , tapestries are usually hung higher than art. And, I would remove the modern lamp on the dressing table. It takes away from the room. Also, the foot of the bed is so beautiful, I would not block it with a blanket chest, nor bench. It would compete with the gorgeous bed. Well done guys!

[@juliaharris6594]

Hi! Loved this vlog. Feeling compelled to make some suggestions. I agree with Anna that the niche needs something tall. So her bookcase idea works; maybe a curio cabinet or substantial column or plant stand may look nice there. Regarding the 2 seater, could that go below the tapestry or at the foot of the bed? So kind of you to let your viewers share ideas. Thanks for your informative and entertaining vlogs!

[@cherylmorrison3]

It is a bedroom fit for a queen. How lucky she is.

[@nict1262]

I love the bed with wardrobes. The blue bed the color of the wardrobes go really well together. I know you thought of a bench but I like seeing the blue. I actually love the other mirror that you took down. I would add a dresser or long table under the tapestry. Book shelves in the alcove/niche area is a nice idea. You can add to the curtains at the bottom or just wait until you find something you like better. Either way I’m glad you went in this direction and Anna likes it. The writing desk or vanity is a nice touch and fits perfectly. A nice rug would warm up the floor. Nice job Ed and Anna.

[@user-vb6gl6nf7c]

Great job! I often think that wall paint should be chosen after antique furniture, and, before the right wall color can be chosen that will tie it all together.

[@freedomwalksinbeauty]

Great work Edd. Seeing as you asked..... yes, a chaise or ottoman at the end of the bed is an essential piece of furniture for a large bedroom. Perhaps the tapestry is a bit low and could be re-hung so the top is level with top of the wardrobes. A display cabinet with very pretty things in it, or a bookcase would look good in the alcove. A two seater couch ok too, as long as its not pushed hard back against the wall, has a picture above and a rug in front of it. Maybe I should just move in as interior consultant!🤣

[@DixyDo43]

I think your room should be painted a light blue to bring everything together. A bunch of floral prints would look nice in the alcove.

[@stephaniegaromon3244]

I love the room with the alcove furniture and bed. I would love to see some old framed artwork here and there like between the two windows and maybe a small one above the bed between the sconces. An upholstered bench at the foot of the bed would be lovely. It’s a big room so as you find pieces you can add more furniture. A beautiful painting in that tall niche would look lovely also and i would make two pelmets above the windows and add fabric at the bottom of the drapes to match the bed. Maybe add an area carpet to add warmth. xx

[@merrittbaxley6032]

The settee would be adorable with a floor lamp, a small table in front with some books and a lap blanket. A plant. A beautiful wool rug to warm it up even more. And a small bench (no back) at the foot of the bed.

[@mamabearlovesbts6087]

When Ed finished the bed piece, I am not lying, I teared up. I love the bed with it, absolutely beautiful.

[@nancibishof6462]

You can always add a pretty trim at the bottom of the curtains to extend their length and that would give them a bit more luxury. A deep fringe could work well and then also be used as a tieback for the draperies. The loveseat/two seater would be less cramped below the tapestry. A beautiful painting and the other chair with the small table would be a nice reading nook with the light from the windows and heat from the fireplace rather than the loveseat. And definitely a beautiful rug at the foot of the bed will help tie all the spaces together. I would not want to put something that would block the view of the bed at its foot.

[@rosemariedeschenes7013]

Instead of letting the hem down on the curtains, you can add either tassels, a matching or contrasting ribbon or even lace to make it longer. The room looks beautiful and a cute little two seater would look lovely in that spot. Thanks for sharing 😍😘

[@winros]

You can do the same if your dress is too short as well that's a great idea!

[@audreycoggins1652]

I would recommend hanging the curtain rods at near-ceiling height (yes I get that longer curtains are more expensive). :)) I love how you both work :))

[@teresagray1477]

Yes curtains should be hung from ceiling to floor

[@rayn8740]

My sister had the same dilemma recently. She raised the rods and added a flattering border to the bottom of the drapes. On the seam lines, between the two different fabrics, she added upholstery gimp. You could also attach a twisted braid or tassel to the bottom. The richer the embellishment, the more space you'll buy. My sister also found a complimentary colored glass beaded trim to add to the bottom of my kitchen curtains. They look so much richer now.

[@kimredmond3550]

Love the bed and cabinets surrounding. Both of the mirrors you tried, loom above and overwhelm the marble fireplace. It would look much more balanced with framed artwork above, rather than either of the large, heavy mirrors. They’re both beautiful - but not right for that spot.

[@kindlydude]

I LOVE that hand painted mirror and think it looks great there. But if it could more match the cabinets (lighter) that would be perfect and would take away the "heaviness" you reference.

[@kdkuaana]

The curtain length is perfect. Beautiful room

[@jessicaboyajian3542]

I love that the tones in the tapestry echo the mirror over the the mantle helping them to marry in the room.

[@iu.5146]

You can let out the entire seam of the curtain and line the hem with a neutral fabric. You need a very good/hot steamer to get out the crease.

[@maryacton6046]

Wow!! Well done Ed for instigating a surprise for Anna. It was thoughtful and insightful of you to include her input as well. I’m sure you will resolve the curtains dilemma and eventually dress the room beautifully. Some pops of blue matching the bed might be an idea. PS I’m also a great fan of your friends Anna and Philipp. Much love from sunny 😎 & wet ☔️ Central Coast, Queensland, Australia 🇦🇺🥰♥️

[@lisaakinlabi]

The room is nicely set considering that you have a limited budget at this time. I know people are suggesting all kinds of things, but changes can happen when you have the ability to do so. Ensuring the room is useable is most important at this time.

[@user-vb6gl6nf7c]

Decor is always a work in progress, anyway, and changeable, at whim. That’s the beauty of it. 😊

[@nancydonahue4256]

I love the bedroom!!

[@eileenworth7862]

I think plants 🪴 give life to any room. 💜💜💜 🌿

[@normhal4908]

Since you asked....Id put some kind of fancy fringe on the bottom of the curtains, maybe with glass beads to make them longer, then put the same fringe on some really nice pillows for the bed and the two chairs to tie it together. If feeling really over the top maybe run the same fringe up the inside hem of the curtains so the beads hang down when the curtains are pulled back. Also something round between the wall lights over the bed, maybe another guilded mirror.

[@margeebechyne8642]

I find this bedroom enchanting! I really love the furniture and the colors. I hope you can get the two-seater because it will look great with the other furniture. I'm really new to your channel and am really enjoying what you are doing. So much hard work, but it is all really paying off! Thank you for sharing your journey!!

[@NewEscapade]

They do work very hard! I've kept track of them for a couple years now.

[@paulacorreal1675]

Love the room. It’s beautifully decorated. Both of you, Anna and Ed are due major Kudoes…and extra Kudoes to Ed for initiating it! Still loving and watching from PA, USA.

[@joanies6778]

A big vertical tapestry would fill up the alcove nicely... plus an electric fireplace. But a period dresser would be very nice and useful. You can always add an extension to the bottom of the curtains. A nice cushioned ottoman or sitting bench at the end of the bed, for sure! That bed and wardrobe look absolutely stunning! Those side cubbies are simply fantastic, too.

[@paulinecrouch7862]

The bedroom looks great x

[@beverlysmith9854]

Looks like a room straight from a fairy tale! Beautiful❤

[@bevmorel4833]

Yes I agree a bench at the end of the bed. Also you could add a piece of material down the side of the curtain and the bottom of the curtain. Pick a color from the tapestry. Look beautiful so far. 👍🙂

[@traceg2903]

Your right Anna, the out come is very nice. I personally love that bed surround...It's exactly what you dream would be in a old Chateau. The dark blue footboard is so pretty don't cover it with furniture,maybe a rug instead. Nice job beautiful room.💙💙

[@imaginetraveltours]

A fainting couch with another piece of art and side table for books in the alcove would also be lovely; somewhere to sit and read. Or a chest of drawers would also be good for someone who was actually living in the room, even with the existing armoires sides. the alcove needs Height, is the challenge as its such a tall space. Definately a lovely tall plant as well

[@dyanaavendale8810]

As a decorator, it’s perfectly fine to have the pole of the curtains a few inches below the top of the window when you have a very long window. It emphasizes the length of the window. I suggest a love seat for the alcove. The curtains should be drawbacks with a bit of fringe, perhaps a valence. The end of the bed is decorative itself. No bench.

[@bettrho2490]

I agree with the previous commenters that the curtains should be hung from the ceiling height and adding a blue skirting panel at the bottom would tie in with the bed beautifully. Then I suggest that the area between the tapestry wall and bed needs a rug to create a nice warm and cozy feel to the room.

[@laelcampbell1935]

What I have done in the past to deal with curtains that are too short is to add a border of approximately 3 in" along length and then across the bottom as much as I need to skim the floor. But the curtain rods should be much closer to the ceiling. In this case I would use a blue velvet.

[@bwitched3810]

Anna & Edd. The room looks amazing .color choice is outstanding,You both have flair for decorating..So enjoying your channel best to you from the USA

[@boessheila50]

Ed it's very stunning. Fit for a queen and a king of the castle!!

[@gailwarshaw7388]

Looks good! I wouldn't put anything at the foot of the bed as it would obscure the beautiful lines,, curves of the foot.

[@kathrynmoore1756]

I love the room! It came out just fabulous! I would love to curl up in that bed with a good book & a glass of wine or cup of tea! Love the little alcoves for books & lovely things!

[@typhilips8122]

Great progress! The wall with the tapestry looks stark. I'd consider adding a planter at the right side near the wall at the opposite of the armoire wall. Potted fern perhaps, on a pedestal made of creamy marble, or maybe rattan. When one sits either at the desk, or in the corners facing into the room, it will make it feel much warmer and complete and less like a corridor.

[@louiselewis5061]

The room is lovely-very unique bed surround. I think it would be easier to sew a band of blue fabric to match the bed on the hem of the curtains with tie backs. I loved that little sofa also. Would look lovely in the room. Whatever you choose will look nice. You both have great taste.

[@jenniferwilding3088]

I think the tapestry is beatiful

[@catherinewaelder1946]

I love it so unique. The blue headboard adds a little color

[@vincentwesolowski459]

The bedroom looks fantastic! You don’t need to change a thing.

[@supremlyfoxylass]

Absolutely beautiful Ed and Anna!!! I would see a piece of rich velvet across the bottom of the curtains to give you length and to puddle when open. A rich gold or bronze or even a brown. The curtains are coming across gold ? It’s a room fit for a queen!!

[@XIANPR]

I like it! I probably would’ve gone with a blue similar to the blue in the bed for the curtains…. Or maybe you can cut a little bit more to the curtains and add like 2 feet maybe of blue fabric at the end to tie the blue of the bed. Also some blue in the rug …..

[@gemmacgregor]

It is the white walls that is the problem. A pale blue might work.

[@stevenkaskus6173]

I definitely agree with Audrey that a coordinating Rug would look very nice

[@piper6541]

I love it so much!!! Wonderful job, Ed! Anna is very reasonable as you! 👍👍👍

[@virginiagoodale9069]

Looks amazing. Just my opinion; add gold fabric(the colour of the trim on the bed, to the bottom of the curtains, so you could hang from the top against the ceiling and the added weight will help the curtains hang better. Put the settee at the foot of the bed if you can find one and put floating shelves in the alcove that way the unevenness of the floor isn't noticed.

[@betsywashburn9106]

[@raffaellavitiello1762]

[@Kas33345]

Love it! I worked for a art shop. A general rule of thumb is to hang wall art so the center of the art is at eye level. The eye level would be of course an average, being maybe between someone at 5' 3" to a person at 6' 3". With the the lovely high ceilings you have it would also acentuate the lux of the ceiling height. Your tapestry is amazing and definately in scale and mood of the room, a scooch higher would make a statement and be in line with eye level. Love the details of this room. Everything has it's moment. Keep going! great inspiration for others. :)

[@Jovian65]

It looks absolutely beautiful...

[@lorie1356]

A bookcase built into the nook with a chaise lounge in front would be perfect. Add a reading table beside the chaise where you could set a cup of coffee/tea or vase of flowers. Maybe even a stand lamp behind the chaise to have the perfect amount of light while your reading. When the standing lamp is on it would reflect the light upward over the books or objects in the bookcase and warmth and layers to the room.

[@ladytammy6886]

I was just about to suggest that same thing, only add a surround edge around the built in shelving/bookcase with the same colour as around the bed with the gold leafing and possibly some motifs that replicated the bed surrounding.

[@GoldenLady9779]

[@stinki97128]

The bed alcove is so lovely. U need a bed runner to drape across the bottom of the bed and a small fan shaped fire screen to fit in the false “firebox”.

[@rankinstudios5342]

Add an antique trunk to the end of the bed. Consider using chalk paint and antique wax on the table legs so it matches the ensemble. Love the bed set! I agree with Anna, a bookcase would be inviting. I would work on a Wow factor when you first enter the room. The windows, chairs, and alcove give the first impression. Great job, Ed!

[@logannewman7141]

I would get the bookcase and place the settee in front of it. Definitely a bench at the end of the bed. Where the dressing table is I think a small table with a chair on either side would balance the room. ❤

[@dittedyret]

Crown molding along the sealing for sure. A little couch for two with a coffee table, a rug, a chest, shelves and and more stuff to make it cozy. it looks so new. But what a lovely bed arrangement. just dreamy!

[@candirinehart]

You could always add decorative fringe to the bottom of the draperies. That would lengthen them, but not add weight to the bottom which pulls your eye down.

[@Ldyrev1]

You could use a dresser in this room. I can't remember if there is hanging space behind the cabinets next to the bed or drawers. A small chest of drawers is always appreciated. Great job so far!

[@BreathOfLoveInFlorid]

Great job, Ed! I really don't think you should put anything at the foot of the bed which would hide the gorgeous foot board. Also, just a suggestion, perhaps move the little table in front of the tapestry to the other side of the chair. I love how Anna so appreciates all your creative efforts! Great teamwork!!

[@kgummee]

It looks very nice. Good job guys!!

[@bryanspindle4455]

I love the alcove bed set! I always thought it would look good there. It is such a beautiful and useful piece. I think a nice rug would warm the look of the room a lot. We had the same problem with curtains but now we don't even notice they are four inches above the floor. Couldn't you add a long fringe onto the bottom to make up the difference? Of all the chateau on KZbin l think yours is my favorite. It is a manageable size while still being elegant and impressive. The beautiful pool is the icing on the cake. I love the classical details of the facade. I could easily see myself living there.

[@nativetexan6628]

I love that furniture (system?)! Anyway, not the style for my beach house but I sure do need it! Tiny rooms and nothing to utilize the height. I love the little niche in the side so you still have a night stand surface.
