Now that I have a place to live, there is a place to design. WooHoo!
It all started with this fabric, which I really love. I’ve had the sample for a while, but never really had anything to do with it. Currently my room in Bham consists of a mattress, box-spring, bed frame, chest, two windows, four walls, two doors, and my clothes. That is it! For some people okay, right? For a design minded person…not okay! So, back to the fabric. I took the sample by a store where my mom’s friend works to see her thoughts. She saw that sample, and responded…”that is ‘my’ fabric, but in another color wave. I have 18 yards of it at my house, and I am not using it for anything.” SCORE!!
Yeap…an entire bolt of it. And this check was a little left over fabric from something in my sisters room. Works well, don’t ya think?
The fabric is Kravet :: Ginny 1635
Called the lady that sews for us…and hopefully we will have four panels ready for hanging really soon. Which calls for hardware…I really love this antique brass rod + jeweler glass finials from Anthropologie. I think the rod size I need might be in backorder. Anybody seen anything similar? Maybe I should just be patient, but I get so anxious about a space coming together.
And about 95% sold on this Chelsea Textiles Canned Headboard in full/queen size for my headboard-less mattress:
And probably simple ivory bed linens. I will probably coordinate the blue fabric in with the bedding a little bit. A few custom pillows?
I think this will look cute with the planters I bought a while back. Slowly but surely it will come together. Pictures when that time comes!
LOVE that fabric… It's so hard being an Interior Designer because you think you've made up your mind (for your own home) & them Bammm you see something else and you have to start all over again! Thanks I love that fabric!!! I'm starting all over again! Beautiful!

Love that fabric too! I have the Duralee one in the same print thumb tacked up next to my window in my living room…everyone who sees it goes, "ooo..love that for your curtains"..but I have to paint, need blinds, sofa, rug, chairs, dining table first probably before I can justify draperies!
Your room is going to be precious!
