Masculine Bedroom- Wonderful For Less Wednesdays

Todays inspiration room is a masculine room.  A guy who would have this room is a professional with good taste, is extremely organized, and is neatly dressed.  Did I just describe my husband?  One can dream, can't she?

Designed by Andrew Halliday and David Greer, this master bedroom is very masculine, with Harry Benson's 1964 photo of the Beatles as the focal point. The fur details add a touch of modern chic. Featured in the July 2008 issue of House Beautiful.

I love the clean line modern bed, the texture of the bed throw, and the drama of the large black and white photo.  Want the look for less?  Here is my version.

Bed- Ikea Malm Queen Bed-$199

Nightstand- Ikea Malm Nightstand-$49 ea.

Wonderful for Less Wednesdays- Coastal Bedroom

Our inspiration room for the week is a coastal bedroom with lots of white and some yellow accents.  It's very clean and fresh and perfect for the summertime.  I can just feel the breeze blowing through this room.  I also love the glitz and glam of the metallic side tables.  I think this would make an excellent guest room, your guest will feel like they are staying at a beach resort.

Here is my sensibly chic version:

Unfortunately I couldn't find anything that resembled those beautiful pale yellow ottomans, but I think the cream is still snazzy and gives it the coastal effect.
