One Room Challenge | Bedroom - Week Three
October 15, 2014
How are we on week three already? This wee fact scares me more than a little bit - especially since I didn't really accomplish anything in my room this week. I have a good excuse though - you see, it was my grandma's 94th birthday on the weekend so my mom and I went to Ireland on Friday to help her celebrate. Since I only returned yesterday evening I didn't really have a chance to do much work on the One Room Challenge, but if I don't finish my bedroom in time I'm okay with that - celebrating my grandma's birthday is way more important to me than decorating a room.
I mentioned briefly in last weeks post that I had done a bit of fabric sourcing and I've been trying to figure out what to do. There are a few options that I'm considering - I know the walls will be the Etosha paper and the headboard will be navy velvet. I'll be sticking with white for the sheets and duvet cover so I want to add some colour with pillows - I'll likely have a lumbar pillow in the Neo Toile that inspired my bedroom design, but other than that I'm unsure.

I think I like bottom left for fabrics.
ReplyDeleteCan't go wrong with any of those combos. And a trip to Ireland??!! Super jealous. Hoping the repair process speeds up!
ReplyDeleteWow, 94! What an amazing milestone! And you're right. That is WAY more important than a room makeover...good for you for keeping things in perspective! I'll be here cheering you on whether you meet the 6 week deadline or not. The important thing is you'll have a beautiful bedroom to enjoy whenever you finish. :)
ReplyDeleteAs for the fabrics, I'm thinking bottom left.
Okay, second favorite country ever!!! And happy b-day Grandma!! Hope you had a great trip! I know when I go see my family there it is a ton of sitting arnd the table drinking tea (or whiskey) and chatting. Love it!
ReplyDeleteOkay love all your fabrics and kinda leaning towards top left...never met an ikat i didn't like. :)
I love all four fabric plans so much! Is there a way to incorporate all the fabrics?! Happy birthday to your Irish granny!
ReplyDeleteI love the bottom right with the yellow floral- the mix is stunning.
ReplyDeleteAnd how amazing that you were able to go to Ireland and celebrate with your grandma- nanas are the best in the world.
I also like the bottom left for the fabric. Happy Birthday to your Grandma :) Good luck this next week!
ReplyDeleteSo amazing that you just hopped on a plane to celebrate your grandma's birthday. I love the bottom right with the yellow floral but rather than the other large fan like fabric, use a solid teal or another colour from the Neo Toile (which by the way I love and have used in a number of client rooms.) I think a solid colour would be best with the two patterned fabrics and the pattern on the wall. OR do two large yellow floral pillows with one Neo Toile in front.
ReplyDeleteI like the bottom right. Feeling the love of floral's at the moment. Congrats to granny @ 94!! Who cares about the ORC, I'll take Ireland any day of the week.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your Grandma! How awesome that you got to be with her to celebrate. I love the Neo Toile but haven't managed to convince any of my clients to love it yet :) Looking forward to seeing what you decide to put with it!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Grandma! Don't worry about finishing on time. Life is more important :) I too love the bottom right option, with the bottom left being my second fave!
ReplyDeleteHaha! There was a LOT of tea drinking on this trip!
ReplyDeleteLove the bottom right, the florals look great together. Hope you had a great trip to Ireland, that sounds like so much fun! Can't wait to see your progress :)
