I know I never showed you the first incarnation, and I purposely didn't show you the bed nook with the original bedroom reveal just because I wanted to get something on the wall there.
Yes, it's orange.
Again.
And I don't heart it and I want to change it but I just don't have the energy for more painting right this minute.
Anyway, I did this with a bit of fabric and some of those metal strip wall hanging thingies from CB2 . They come 58" long and are sold in a set of two, but I opted to use only one at the top and I cut it down to ~44" with a hacksaw.
As I said, this is incarnation number two. I originally hung just a panel of the print but then decided it needed a little something else so I went back and added the red and orange stripes. It's still not exactly right, but it's easy to change and I'll ponder it a bit more before I do anything else. My other idea was to giganto-size the print from the fabric and do a tone on tone stencil of it on this wall, ala the bike room, but that was seeming like it was going to require more energy than I have at this particular moment and I needed the room to be one step closer to done RIGHT NOW. Plus I need to decide what color I'm going to change the wall to first.
Because I love the fabric ever so much, I made a couple of coordinating pillow cases for the bed. In theory, this is the lead in to an entire bed-sized quilt project which I hope will be the focal point of the room, but I've been saying I'm going to do that forever and I'm sure by the time I decide where I'm actually going with it, I'll be on a completely new track with the fabrics. But as I said, the wall hanging is easy to change and for now, will do.
Impresionante y cálido.Felicidades!!!

wow, so vibrant, so much color and joy. I'm sure you will have a great time in this room particularly.
ReplyDeleteHow about hand the fabric horizontally? I love a black field with vivid colors. How about the orange wall is a very very dark charcoal or black?
ReplyDeleteI have now looked through your blog and I must say I am amazed by your talent and creativity! I loved every minute of it. You are so lucky to have such a beatuiful home, and I'm sure it is worth all the work. I love your design, both exterior and interior. It's just perfect! I think the colors work beautifully together and the design of the rooms seems practiacal and functional. I loveyour dining table, and teh guest bathroom is to die for! Your idea to use wires to hang the curtains is brilliant and so decorative!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to get my own house. I would never finish it, cause there would always be new projects....
Thank you for sharing your dream and these great ideas!

Please tell me what that fabric is! I love it!
ReplyDeleteSplatgirl: Love your blog & attitude! Do tell: did you MacGyver the slat headboard or did you find it off-the-shelf? Great use of space there.
