I wanted to use the leftover pieces from the widow's railing I didn't install to make a folding screen to sit behind the headboard, in order to hide the join where the wall and ceiling come together. I couldn't get it to work, the pieces were too wide. In retrospect I should have continued with the folding screen idea using a different material, but I was stuck on using the railing pieces because I've already worked some into the other rooms. I ended up with this wood curtain corner combo disaster.

I do not like it.

I'm stuck with it because it's already glued in place, so am hoping that if I scatter a few blue accessories to move the viewer's eye around the room that it won't be so powerful a focal point. I might try getting back there with a paintbrush to change the color to an unobtrusive white...I'm debating the risk of making things worse vs. learning to live with it. Or maybe it would look more purposeful with a pelmet...

The brown things on the sides are sconces. I made them using wire, jewelry findings and the lightbulbs I pulled out of the chandelier Audra gave me. They turned out okay, but with the bed in place they look odd...their color is too close to that of the bed and they sit at the same height as the top of the headboard posts, which makes it a bit confusing to the eye. I may paint the sconces too.

I think if you change the paint color you might like it. It's always worth a try... (btw: this kind of thing happens all the time with my decorating, too). I have a Chantilly and am interested to see how you cover this area. I haven't gotten that far in my work on her.

Maybe paint the window frames blue or the olive green that is in the screen. Or make some olive green shades for the window. You could add a tiny pull with a blue ring at the bottom of each shade.

I see your point, it does draw the eye to it... but I think it is an interesting detail... How about just washing it with white to tone it down... or I like the comment above.... make some matching shades with some blue as detail.... don't feel bad I think it is a neat idea, but if you really don't like it I think it wouldn't be too difficult to make it blend into the room.

BTW I LOVE what you have done with this little house.... it is one of the houses on my wish list :)

If you dont like it, you can always put a screen in front of it all, I love the bed and what youve done with the room,

I actually like it too! But I also like the idea of washing it with white or adding some colorful details elsewhere.

Could maybe change the bedding to incorporate the blue. Then it wouldn't stand out so much. Love the bed.
