The opposite day, somebody commented on a submit and mentioned, “…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.” Should you’ve been round right here for some time, it is best to know the reply to that query. I’ll proceed to weigh choices, change my thoughts, tweak a plan, and make changes till a challenge 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 at present and be on the chopping block tomorrow. And you already know what? That’s okay.
So with that mentioned, 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 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 facet of the mattress), I used to be so excited in regards to the thought of saving cash by utilizing one thing I already had available. And I do assume 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 scuffling with it. Clearly, from the response on my submit in regards to the three rugs choices, the second rug was the only option to go along with this material. It seems prefer it was made to go along 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 identical to this in order that I can see it each time I stroll via, 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 slightly. If I weren’t making myself use that material material, what would the room seem like? I instantly acknowledged the issue. I want heat colours, even when it’s just a bit accent colour. I noticed 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 noticed 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 the entire containers. Inexperienced, teal, and a heat colour (pink, orange, or coral). And naturally, with me, there are all the time 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 title 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 pc. And I can say that Ballard Designs’ images 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 actual factor, however I ended up making the background too inexperienced.
That is extra of a real illustration of the material colour…
This image under seems a bit blah for my style, however I’m together with it in order that we are able to see how this material seems as material panels. You usually 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 certain, the one. I’m going to order the material at present, however I simply must make one fairly large determination first.
As I mentioned, I began out searching for new material material. I like this material and need 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.
Nicely, 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 things 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 could be a chance 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 applicable weight for curtains. It wouldn’t be as easy to work with as a decorator cotton, however I might do it.
With this new course in thoughts, I began going via material samples that I already had and placing some collectively all based mostly on that chicken material, and that is the place that headed…
Apart 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 chicken/department material, nothing here’s a particular a part of the plan. These are simply samples I had available that I pulled out based mostly on the greens within the chicken/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 chance 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 available, I believe it’s in all probability a bit too shiny. I’ve ordered a number of extra coral samples, each solids and patterns. I want one which’s toned down only a bit. However not less than this offers me a good suggestion of the place I’m heading, and I like this course SO a lot 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 realized about myself over the previous couple of years it’s that I want heat colours. They don’t should be dominant within the room in any respect, however they do should be current in some type. Whereas teal will all the time have my coronary heart, adopted intently by greens, these heat colours simply add such life to a room that, in my humble opinion, can look slightly bland with out them.
It’s okay to alter your thoughts. I promise. It solely hurts for slightly bit. 😀
