D&R guest room help?

Since there have been approximately two posts since Friday, I don't feel bad bothering you guys with stupid little D&R questions.

We finally recarpeted all of the bedrooms and I got stuff for the walls in this room.  Plain white frames = Yes

Here is the bookcase thing with some yellow accents crap I picked up.  (It looks better when it's not a crappy cell phone picture.)  Ignore the computer monitors!  They're not usually there, but this is temporarily an office while we moved the desk out of the regular office while they were putting carpet down.

Not a fan of the candle things on the bottom left and the bottom right I have no idea what to do with.  Thoughts?  Also once the computer monitors aren't there, what should I put in the big middle space?

ETA:  I'm painting the handles bronze which is why they're missing.  Also I figured out furniture for the rest of the room, so it's just this small stuff now.

Here are the frames I picked up hanging with nothing in them.

So what would you put in the frames?  Or what colors would you look for at least?

Thanks for any thoughts!

  • I could do the pupppy silhouettes for you if you were still interested in that idea. Get another dog and you'll have all 3. ;)

  • You mentioned yellow accents... so what about pictures of yellow flowers for the frames?

    I'd put the candle things elsewhere in the house. I'd store them away to use as a dining table centerpiece.

  • Also, have you given thought to refinishing the bed? I think painted white it could look really sharp.

  • I suck at filling book shelve type ares, but here are some suggestions for the walls.

    I like the idea of the 2nd set of pics a lot. I think you just need more color. Make the picture frames pop. I would also add a yellow throw to the foot of the bed. What color are the walls? Blue? Gray? Could you do a pop of color in the curtains?
    ETA: This shows a bookcase styled with some yellow:

  • I like the idea of addin yellow to the bookcase. National Geographic magazines come to mind. I see free ones on Craigslist all the time.
  • What about some pretty yellow wallpaper lining the bookcase?

  • I like the idea of lining the bookshelf, it was really easy when I did it to mine with contact paper from Target.

    I would like to see more color also, maybe pillows and a throw with some color or print.

    For some reason, I get a nautical feel to that bedroom. What about some sepia toned pictures of boat or sea pics for those frames.

    I like this idea a lot!  Very pretty.  I'm trying to keep things simple and mostly white to be light an airy.  I'll look for a throw and something like this for the frames.

    Thanks for the ideas!
