Yes, I’ve Changed My Mind Again (And That’s Okay!)

The opposite day, somebody commented on a put up 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.” For those who’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 undertaking 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 in the present day and be on the chopping block tomorrow. And you recognize 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 thought of utilizing the material cloth that I already had readily available.

After I got here throughout that cloth 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 concept of saving cash through the use of one thing I already had readily available. And I do suppose that cloth 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 battling it. Clearly, from the response on my put up concerning the three rugs choices, the second rug was the only option to go along with this cloth. It seems to be prefer it was made to go along with this cloth.

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 adore it, 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 cloth, what would the room appear like? I instantly acknowledged the issue. I would like heat colours, even when it’s just a bit accent colour. I noticed that I purchased that material cloth 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 cloth 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 cloth. 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 cloth in my possession. It’s sitting proper right here on my desk proper beside my pc. And I can say that Ballard Designs’ pictures of that cloth are terrible. That cloth 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 are able to see how this cloth 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 in the present day, however I simply must make one fairly large resolution first.

As I mentioned, I began out in search of new material cloth. I really like this cloth and need to use it, however I don’t know that I adore it as material panels. I a lot choose it as a headboard. In order that leaves me nonetheless needing a material cloth.

Properly, 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 items 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 could be a chance for the headboard. However now I’m considering…velvet curtains? I really 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 route in thoughts, I began going by way of cloth samples that I already had and placing some collectively all primarily based on that chook cloth, and that is the place that headed…

Apart from the grasscloth wallpaper, the teal velvet (which is darkish and wonderful, however not as darkish in individual because it’s displaying in that picture), and the chook/department cloth, nothing here’s a particular a part of the plan. These are simply samples I had readily available that I pulled out primarily based on the greens within the chook/department cloth. 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 guide. And whereas I had that exact coral readily available, I feel it’s in all probability a bit too brilliant. I’ve ordered a number of extra coral samples, each solids and patterns. I would like one which’s toned down only a bit. However a minimum of this offers me a good suggestion of the place I’m heading, and I really 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.

UPDATE: I decided. I simply ordered the chook cloth for the headboard, and I’ll use the teal velvet on the curtains. I’m so excited!! I really like this new route!
