The opposite day, somebody commented on a put up and mentioned, “…what number of occasions are you going to alter your thoughts…?” To which I responded, “As many occasions because it takes to get it proper.” For those who’ve been round right here for some time, it’s 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 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 at present 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.
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 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 fighting it. Clearly, from the response on my put up in regards to the three rugs choices, the second rug was your best option to go together with this material. It seems to be 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 identical to this in order that I can see it each time I stroll by way of, hoping that I’d finally like 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 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 needed one which ticked all the containers. Inexperienced, teal, and a heat colour (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 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 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, 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 actual factor, however I ended up making the background too inexperienced.
That is extra of a real illustration of the material colour…
This image beneath seems to be a bit blah for my style, however I’m together with it in order that we will see how this material seems to be 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 choice first.
As I mentioned, 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 like it as material panels. I a lot desire it as a headboard. In order that leaves me nonetheless needing a material material.
Properly, 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 attractive. This image doesn’t do it justice in any respect. It’s so attractive in individual, and has such a richness to it.
I initially ordered this pattern considering it is perhaps 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 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 course in thoughts, I began going by way of material samples that I already had and placing some collectively all primarily based on that chicken material, and that is the place that headed…
Aside from the grasscloth wallpaper, the teal velvet (which is darkish and wonderful, however not as darkish in individual because it’s exhibiting in that picture), 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 primarily based on the greens within the chicken/department material. However I might LOVE to have my studying chair lined 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 feel it’s in all probability 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 at the least 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 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 intently 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 chicken material for the headboard, and I’ll use the teal velvet on the curtains. I’m so excited!! I like this new course!
