Except that try as I might, I could not warm up to the cool colors. And the masculinity. And the lack of femininity.
Except ... that was right either. It wasn't until a couple of weeks later (having slept on the sheets and washed them and rendered them "unreturnable") that I realized the problem lay with the dark colors of the sheets and the dark blue pictures/plates over the bed. Not willing to run right out and purchase yet another set of sheets, I just pulled my mattelasse cover up (instead of folding it down), found a new accent pillow in the pile o' pillows in my closet and (ok, I admit it) purchased the two rectangular plates, combining them with others I already owned.
The new plates were purchased at HomeGoods. The others are old enough that I haven't a clue.
Hi Mary,
ReplyDeleteLoVe the dishes instead of the old prints of sailing ships.
You've lightened the mood beautifully!
I still like your blue floral sheets though,
they add a punch of color to all the white.
How about adding a bit of a flat cotton lace edging to the top sheet
my creative seamstress friend ?
Just thinking out loud...
Isn't that funny how we do sleep better when we love the decor. Even a new set of sheets make me happy. I have some sheets that I can't bear to sleep on because they are depressing. lol! I love your new decor in your bedroom. It was beautiful before and it is beautiful now!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your sweet comment at my place Mary.
I, too, love the evolution, but I have a different theory about why you're never satisfied with your room: It is the only room in the house where you left the original khaki walls alone, whereas everything else you painted in cool shades of blue (your love of which is evident on this blog). Even though your bedroom walls are a lovely color, you have never been one for warms or neutrals!
