I haven't made a whole lot of progress in Boobear's room. We've got beds, blackout shades for the windows and a crib, but that's kind of where things have come to a halt. I have big plans for the room though. I'd like to do something like this for behind the twin beds.
Originally I wanted to do one of these,
but, those seemed either too difficult or too costly. That's a lot of fabric!
I plan on doing the faux canopy and pelmet boxes for the windows in this fabric.

Then my friend Melanie turned me on to marbled paper from Paper Mojo. I found the perfect paper to go with my gray, lilac and yellow scheme.
The great part about it is that it's super inexpensive and fairly big at 24" X 36". Of course, I'm getting it matted and framed to be 36" X 48" so it won't be as good of a deal, but this is going over the fireplace so it has to be a bit large.
Things still left to do:
-buy bedskirts for twin beds and crib
-make pelmet boxes
-make faux canopy
-add decorative detail to TJ Maxx lampshade I bought
-add fabric to nightstand doors
-clean and paint fireplace hearth
-clean and paint fireplace hearth
I'm sure there's something else I'm forgetting, but this is going to keep me plenty busy. This and a newborn in 2.5 weeks....Yikes!
Such an exciting time for you!! I love all the things you are doing in each room...the color scheme in this one is so pretty!!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how gorgeous your house is going to be once it's done. It's gorgeous already, but you know what I mean!
ReplyDeleteso funny, I was looking into doing a canopy in my bedroom but decided it was too expensive for the moment. Its a great look :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the marbled paper...I am coming around to liking purple lately.
I love that paper. Boobear is one lucky girl. It is fun watching this come together.
ReplyDeleteAnother pretty color scheme. The paper will look great! I can't wait to see this room completed.
