The opposite day, somebody commented on a submit and stated, “…what number of instances are you going to alter your thoughts…?” To which I responded, “As many instances because it takes to get it proper.” In case you’ve been round right here for some time, you must know the reply to that query. I’ll proceed to weigh choices, change my thoughts, tweak a plan, and make changes till a venture is completed. And even when it’s completed, nothing is protected in my home. 😀 One thing could also be my absolute favourite factor in my home as we speak and be on the chopping block tomorrow. And you recognize what? That’s okay.
So with that stated, I’m beginning over on my plan for our bed room. All three rugs are going again, and I’m abandoning the concept of utilizing the material material that I already had readily available.
After I got here throughout that material and realized I had sufficient to make draperies for all three home windows within the bed room (if I solely use one panel on every window on both aspect of the mattress), I used to be so excited concerning the concept of saving cash through the use of one thing I already had readily available. And I do suppose that material may be very fairly, and it went completely with the teal grasscloth (not together with the accent band and inexperienced Greek key trim on the sting of the panel).
However as I’ve tried to make it work, I’ve discovered myself combating it. Clearly, from the response on my submit concerning the three rugs choices, the second rug was the only option to go together with this material. It appears to be like prefer it was made to go together with this material.
However I simply can’t make myself prefer it. I don’t know why, however I can’t. I’ve tried. I’ve had it in that room similar to this in order that I can see it each time I stroll by, hoping that I’d ultimately find it irresistible, however I simply can’t get there.
So all three rugs are going again, and I gave myself the liberty to dream a bit. If I weren’t making myself use that material material, what would the room appear like? I instantly acknowledged the issue. I want heat colours, even when it’s just a bit accent coloration. I spotted that I purchased that material material again once I was nonetheless making an attempt to make teals and greens work on their very own, and lengthy earlier than I spotted my love for pink, orange, and coral.
I began looking for a brand new material as a leaping off level for our bed room, and I wished one which ticked all the packing containers. Inexperienced, teal, and a heat coloration (pink, orange, or coral). And naturally, with me, there are at all times main bonus factors if there are birds, flowers, and/or timber.
And y’all. I discovered it. It’s the proper material. If this doesn’t have my identify written throughout it, I don’t know what does.
I’ll say that I’ve a pattern of this material in my possession. It’s sitting proper right here on my desk proper beside my laptop. And I can say that Ballard Designs’ pictures of that material are terrible. That material has a pleasant creamy background to it. It’s not stark white, nevertheless it’s additionally not what they present. I attempted to regulate the colour a bit within the photograph above to make it extra like the true factor, however I ended up making the background too inexperienced.
That is extra of a real illustration of the material coloration…
This image under appears to be like a bit blah for my style, however I’m together with it in order that we will see how this material appears to be like as material panels. You typically lose a sample/design within the pleats.
I don’t need the sample getting misplaced, so I additionally tried it on a headboard from Ballard Designs.
That is it. That is, for positive, the one. I’m going to order the material as we speak, however I simply have to make one fairly enormous resolution first.
As I stated, I began out in search of new material material. I like this material and wish to use it, however I don’t know that I find it irresistible as material panels. I a lot desire it as a headboard. In order that leaves me nonetheless needing a material material.
Effectively, on the similar time that I ordered that pattern, I additionally ordered a pattern of the Signature Teal Velvet from Ballard Designs, and oh my goodness, these items is beautiful. This image doesn’t do it justice in any respect. It’s so beautiful in particular person, and has such a richness to it.
I initially ordered this pattern considering it is perhaps a risk for the headboard. However now I’m considering…velvet curtains? I like velvet curtains. I’ve them within the breakfast room. They add such a luxuriousness and heat to a room. And this specific velvet is an acceptable weight for curtains. It wouldn’t be as easy to work with as a decorator cotton, however I might do it.
With this new route in thoughts, I began going by material samples that I already had and placing some collectively all based mostly on that fowl material, and that is the place that headed…
Aside from the grasscloth wallpaper, the teal velvet (which is darkish and superb, however not as darkish in particular person because it’s exhibiting in that photograph), and the fowl/department material, nothing here’s a particular a part of the plan. These are simply samples I had readily available that I pulled out based mostly on the greens within the fowl/department material. However I’d LOVE to have my studying chair coated in that inexperienced plush velvet! 😀 That’s the plush velvet pattern that I initially ordered as a risk for my studio desk chair. It’s about 1/4-inch thick, if not thicker. I can simply think about curling up in that with a e book. And whereas I had that exact coral readily available, I believe it’s most likely a bit too vivid. I’ve ordered a number of extra coral samples, each solids and patterns. I want one which’s toned down only a bit. However a minimum of this provides me a good suggestion of the place I’m heading, and I like this route SO significantly better than the opposite one.
I’m nonetheless undecided about whether or not to make use of the birds/branches on the headboard and the velvet on the curtains, or to make use of the velvet on the headboard and the birds/branches on curtains. I might need to do a mock up of every choice so I can actually envision them.
If there’s one factor I’ve discovered about myself over the previous few years it’s that I want heat colours. They don’t need to be dominant within the room in any respect, however they do need to be current in some type. Whereas teal will at all times have my coronary heart, adopted carefully by greens, these heat colours simply add such life to a room that, in my humble opinion, can look a bit bland with out them.
It’s okay to alter your thoughts. I promise. It solely hurts for a bit bit. 😀
UPDATE: I decided. I simply ordered the fowl material for the headboard, and I’ll use the teal velvet on the curtains. I’m so excited!! I like this new route!
