My daughter has moved out of her room and now I'm going to convert it to a guest room/craft room. I want to work with the bed I have, but need to make the room more mature. I'm totally open to all colors, however, the room is very small and I want it to feel serene. Also, my college-aged son will be sleeping in it when he comes home to visit - but that's a secondary point. My personal style is transitional.

What I have that I'd like to work around is a single upholstered headboard (see pic). It has a slipcover that is white with large raised polka-dots. There is also a matching bedskirt I have. The second picture is the nightstand. I know I need to start with bedding, so what would you suggest? Oh, the craft part of the room is regarding her wall of closets - it's been organized with drawers and shelves on one side and a desk with shelves above on the other side - it takes up one whole wall of the room. The system is all bright white - like the headboard.

The room is 10x10 (not including closet) with one window. The only thing going in this room is the bed and nightstand. I would post a picture of the room, but quite honestly it is a mess right now and it's hard to get a good picture since it's so small.

Here is a duvet cover I like - would this work? Not sure what color I would paint the walls, though. The main floor area and hallway leading into the bedroom is Sienna Sand (see below).
