I bit the bullet and ordered 11 yards of one of my very favorite fabrics for the bedroom:
It’s the Orbetello in blue from the Palladio collection over at Thibaut, and it’s so pretty in person!
I had lived with a large swatch hanging over our current white curtains in the master bedroom for over a month before I finally gave in and ordered enough fabric to cover two windows. I’ve had a hard time with this purchase because a. I was nervous that the fabric would feel too heavy and dark in a room that doesn’t get enough natural light and b. it was a bit of a splurge even with a designer discount. Well, it’s arrived in the mail and the biting of nails was all worth it. It is so pretty and will look so great in the space – now I just need to finish (or start, I should say) getting these puppies sewn up!
To balance out a bigger ticket item, I picked up an 84″ curtain panel called Ogee Dot in the color Spring Melt by Martha Stewart Living from Home Depot (it was kind of like my great Waverly fabric find from Lowe’s after I fell in love with the same fabric over at Ballard Designs for 3x the price. Unfortunately it’s near sold out now :( now):
It’s more of a soft aqua color and is much prettier in person as well – need to get some nice clean photos in here. I think I”ll turn this one panel into three big square shams for the back of the bed to fit over current white Ikea versions that I have.
And it all matches so nicely with the new rug!
Which was that really great One Kings Lane find from a little while back.
The room pieces are really coming together. Now I just need to decide on a style of nightstand, find one on Craigslist (fingers crossed), give it whatever makeover it might need and pull everything together. That plus art, can’t forget a few good pieces of personal art for this space.
I’ll see if I can’t get on these sewing projects this weekend so I have some actual room progress to share next week.
Love the pattern you mix.. its really innovative…
My wife hates our current curtains. She will love this pattern. I bookmarked it. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, what a wonderful plan. I need hep in my living room. Badly!
Love the color scheme…I’ve actually been thinking about re-doing our master in a similar scheme now that the blue duvet in the (former) guest bedroom isn’t being used anymore. Considering there’s no way that project will even be started until late Fall at the earliest, I can’t wait to see how your room turns out!
Thanks, Leslie!
I love that you are mixing those patterns like that, it’s going to be amazing!
Thanks, Sara :).
