Now that I have a place to live, there is a place to design. WooHoo!
It all started with this fabric, which I really love. I've had the sample for a while, but never really had anything to do with it. Currently my room in Bham consists of a mattress, box-spring, bed frame, chest, two windows, four walls, two doors, and my clothes. That is it! For some people okay, right? For a design minded person...not okay! So, back to the fabric. I took the sample by a store where my mom's friend works to see her thoughts. She saw that sample, and responded..."that is 'my' fabric, but in another color wave. I have 18 yards of it at my house, and I am not using it for anything." SCORE!!
Yeap...an entire bolt of it. And this check was a little left over fabric from something in my sisters room. Works well, don't ya think?
The fabric is Kravet :: Ginny 1635
Called the lady that sews for us...and hopefully we will have four panels ready for hanging really soon. Which calls for hardware...I really love this antique brass rod + jeweler glass finials from Anthropologie. I think the rod size I need might be in backorder. Anybody seen anything similar? Maybe I should just be patient, but I get so anxious about a space coming together.
And about 95% sold on this Chelsea Textiles Canned Headboard in full/queen size for my headboard-less mattress:
And probably simple ivory bed linens. I will probably coordinate the blue fabric in with the bedding a little bit. A few custom pillows?
I think this will look cute with the planters I bought a while back. Slowly but surely it will come together. Pictures when that time comes!

Love that fabric too! I have the Duralee one in the same print thumb tacked up next to my window in my living room...everyone who sees it goes, "ooo..love that for your curtains"..but I have to paint, need blinds, sofa, rug, chairs, dining table first probably before I can justify draperies! :) Your room is going to be precious!
