It is all coming together. As we all know the “design process” is always slow and evolving. It is never finished, you can never really “check” it off your list, if you know what I mean. That keeps it fun and exciting, right? It is a test of our true patience, at least for me. After 4 weeks of waiting, waiting, waiting, and improvising in crazy ways (like having a box top act as a curtain in my bathroom window) it getting there.
and thanks to my Mom (who is a total saint), the curtains went UP!
She is totally convinced that “Phil the curtain man” (who hangs curtains for her on her jobs in Auburn is totally worth the arm+leg that he charges). And quote, “she would not do it for a million dollars”. Like “Phil the curtain man”, other workers of the trade at our house are more commonly referred to like this: first name + task they complete. For example; Bob the painter, Jason the rug man, Kris the sewer, and Joe the tub man. Now back on topic. The fabric is Kravet. It was steal (27 yards) from mom’s friend Mrs. Patty. She really made my day because full price for this was NOT really going to fly!
The hardware I really wanted from Anthropologie was on backorder for forever. Curtains lying folder on the floor do not do much good. But I scored an equally satisfying option from the grand ole’ Target. Best part being that the price was SUPER cheap! The rings, by Umbra, were even on sale
So, with the rug down, curtains hung, and bed made…It is finally getting there. For now this pillow is calling my name. Five o’clock this morning was a long, long time ago. Night!
Looks great!!!! Yay!!!
love your pillow –the details, the pleats. Is it antique? or just doing a great job at looking antique? Lovely bedroom.
Very exciting! With curtains and a rug, I'm sure your space if feeling much more cozy! I have been in my new place for about 7 weeks, and I am dying to finally get to work decorating my bedroom, but it's had to go on the back burner for the time being.
Julie- looks so great. Can't wait to see more.
Looks so cute! I can't wait to see the *tentative* finished product, or just a room-shot
It looks amazing! I can't wait to see more.
i LOVE that pillow!! Where is it from? Also, love the curtains. I need to get you to come help me decorate. I have been at my house for three years and still have so much that needs to be done.
It looks great, Julie! Its all coming together so nicely! And response to your comment on my post- the boots are from sheplers.com. They are made my Old Gringo. I treated myself to them before we got married and am still in love with them- highly recommend them!
