The opposite day, somebody commented on a submit and mentioned, “…what number of occasions are you going to vary your thoughts…?” To which I responded, “As many occasions because it takes to get it proper.” If you happen to’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 mission is completed. And even when it’s completed, nothing is secure in my home. 😀 One thing could also be my absolute favourite factor in my home right now and be on the chopping block tomorrow. And 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.
Once 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 concerning the thought of saving cash through the use of one thing I already had available. And I do suppose that material could 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 concerning the three rugs choices, the second rug was the only option to go together with this material. It seems 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 way of, hoping that I’d finally adore it, 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 after I was nonetheless attempting 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 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 right 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 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, but it surely’s additionally not what they present. I attempted to regulate the colour a bit within the picture 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 beneath seems a bit blah for my style, however I’m together with it in order that we will see how this material seems 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 right now, however I simply have to make one fairly large resolution first.
As I mentioned, I began out on the lookout for new material material. I like this material and wish to use it, however I don’t know that I adore it as material panels. I a lot desire it as a headboard. In order that leaves me nonetheless needing a material material.
Nicely, on the identical 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 attractive. This image doesn’t do it justice in any respect. It’s so attractive 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 explicit 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 route in thoughts, I began going by way of material samples that I already had and placing some collectively all based mostly on that chook 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 picture), and the chook/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 chook/department material. However I might 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 individual coral available, I believe it’s in all probability a bit too vibrant. I’ve ordered a number of extra coral samples, each solids and patterns. I want one which’s toned down only a bit. However at the very least this offers 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 possibility so I can actually envision them.
If there’s one factor I’ve discovered about myself over the previous couple of years it’s that I want heat colours. They don’t must be dominant within the room in any respect, however they do must 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 vary your thoughts. I promise. It solely hurts for a bit bit. 😀
UPDATE: I decided. I simply ordered the chook material for the headboard, and I’ll use the teal velvet on the curtains. I’m so excited!! I like this new route!
