Up until now, our bedroom has been pretty simple: we painted it a nice, neutral shade of cream (Benjamin Moore's Sail Cloth) when we moved in, since it was periwinkle before; but we haven't done much else. No art on the walls, nothing. We have stuff to hang, but that part takes me awhile, since it feels like a bit of a commitment (even though it's really not).
I've been keeping my eyes peeled for some creative, easy, inexpensive decor ideas that work for both of us. Joe tends to be a little leery of girly stuff, which includes most bedding. Our duvet and shams are a natural linen fabric, thus, the bedroom is pretty neutral.
I saw this post at Apartment Therapy, and showed it to Joe (the man loves sticks). He liked it so much, he went out and bought a bundle of sticks that same day. Crazy, I know.

We played around with the arrangement, and came up with this:
We went for horizontal sticks to de-emphasize the short ceiling height and contrast with the vertical lines of the bed frame.
The sconces were added a couple of weeks ago. I found them at Home Depot, and was drawn to them because they plug in (and therefore are do-able in a rental!).
I added a black-framed sepia photo from our engagement shoot. The colors tied in nicely with the decor.
This is a tiny room (though not the tiniest that we've shared - that would be the one in Chicago), but there's not much room for anything other than the bed! So, this makes a nice focal point. Love it!
