Whereas engaged on studio group yesterday, I opened up a few massive contractor luggage stuffed with material that I had introduced in from the sunroom whereas I used to be cleansing that space out two weeks in the past. And I used to be so excited to see what was in a type of luggage!
For those who’ve been round right here some time, you understand that our entrance front room has been by a number of iterations since we moved into this home. I had such a tough time discovering my means with that room, and studying precisely what my private fashion was (versus what I believed was anticipated of me as a adorning blogger).
I believe it took me about 5 tries earlier than I landed on the place it’s right now. And I like the place it lastly ended up. I undoubtedly suppose this room represents my fashion and my private style.
So after I opened up one of many massive luggage, I used to be thrilled to see that it was stuffed with a type of materials. Due to all of people who I attempted in the lounge, this explicit one was most likely my favourite of those that didn’t make the ultimate lower. And I remembered saving it as a result of I preferred it a lot that I believed I would use it in our future bed room.
Effectively, welcome to the longer term! It’s right here! And the way well timed that simply as work has began on that room, I occurred to open up this bag and discover this material inside. What number of of you keep in mind these draperies?
That was again in 2016! I attempted to seek out the title of the material, however thus far, I haven’t been capable of finding it. I severely doubt that it’s nonetheless accessible. However I actually cherished these draperies. I attempted to make it work with the darkish grey fire. Keep in mind that?
I additionally made my very own Roman shade to go along with it. And that’s again after I tried to make the image body molding work in that room. It was undoubtedly a mistake making an attempt to place image body molding on the partitions in a room with so many doorways and home windows. It seemed means too busy. Nevertheless it was enjoyable making an attempt!
That was additionally again after I had the acrylic material rods. These had been fairly, and I actually preferred them, however they bowed a little bit bit beneath the load of draperies made out of decorator material and blackout lining.
I actually do love this material. Nonetheless, I don’t nonetheless love that Greek key trim. It’s so vivid in comparison with the greens within the material. So if I find yourself utilizing this material, that Greek key trim has to go. And so does the darkish blue accent on the sting.
However simply check out how stunning this appears with the grasscloth. It’s good! It’s like I purchased them to go collectively, however that is only a comfortable coincidence.
I do know a few of you could be questioning what occurred to the striped velvet that I thought of utilizing. Sadly, it doesn’t actually go along with the grasscloth, so I had to decide on one or the opposite. The grasscloth gained out. It wasn’t even a contest.
In reality, the grasscloth will probably be right here right now! It went on sale for 20% off, so I didn’t waste time in ordering it to reap the benefits of that financial savings. You could find the grasscloth right here.
Anyway, I believe this eight-year-old material could function the leaping off level for the room. I’m not fairly positive how I’ll use it. It appears like I solely ever completed one of many material panels, however I lower the material for all of them. So I’ll should see how I can use it. It might be draperies, or a headboard. I could solely have sufficient for 2 massive Euro shams. However I’m about 90% positive that I’ll discover a use for it.
I really feel like I’m bringing issues again round full circle, first with grasscloth (which I utilized in our apartment bed room over a decade in the past) and now with this material from our front room eight years in the past. I sort of like that. It’s attention-grabbing to see the methods through which my style and elegance have stayed fairly constant for years and years, whereas my style in different areas (i.e., my growing love of pink) has modified over time. However I do nonetheless love this material, so it was undoubtedly a contented discover!
Addicted 2 Adorning is the place I share my DIY and adorning journey as I transform and embellish the 1948 fixer higher that my husband, Matt, and I purchased in 2013. Matt has M.S. and is unable to do bodily work, so I do nearly all of the work on the home on my own. You’ll be able to be taught extra about me right here.
