Wallpaper is going up in my new Virginia cottage!
I love Jane's Rose Bouquet in faded blueberry.
It was the pattern I chose for my old Seattle cottage dining room.
I decided to use it in my new bedroom too. Then I can recycle the gorgeous curtains I'd made to coordinate with it.
So far one wall has been completed - need to put a bed together and organize my boxes of clothing before I can hang the rest around the room.
But what fun I am having and how gorgeous the room will look when its all done!
The clock was a Goodwill find. It was dark stained, hand made and plaid when I found it.
I added ormolu and painted, gilded the clock.
The interior is lined with a soft blueberry and white rose paper I decoupaged on.
I need to change the battery in order for it to work but who cares if its not keeping time? It works wonders for my soul, for its beauty alone. lol
I am a blue and white person through and through!
I usually add color to my rooms with flowers (whether fresh or faux) and accessories.
I know pillows are accessories too but I had always chosen blue and white pillows too, not wanting too much alternate color changing the mood of the beach blue rooms I was creating.
But now in a smaller home with white slip covered furniture, and a need to find homes/new uses for several pillows I pulled from my ETSY store stock, I decided to use them in my own living room.
I'm so glad I did!
They added a new life to the room and actually enhances the blue and white I already had going on.
Now I realize the full potential pillows can make in a room!
I think the burst of color through my floral pillows (even though my color ways are pastels) can bring a sense of romanticism to the room.
The pillows are in linen cotton canvas in the pattern ROSEWITHA on peony pink, aqua, or basil stripes. Its a favorite look of mine, flowers with stripes.
I also experimented with one yard samples of other patterns, tossed over the back of a chair.
Harald Check in peony and Bridal Suite in buttercup.
Both lovely and possible choices for future slip covers!!
