It's All In The Details!!!!!

When I started decorating Connie's bedroom, I chose the rug as the jumping off place for my design.

It was green with pink roses.....

very girly.....

just like Connie!!!!!

Soooooo.....

As this was a lady's boudoir,

we decided to go all flowery and pretty!

This was the picture I showed you last weekend.I tweaked it to add some color and pattern.

I made a needle point toss pillow for Connie.

Ain't it purty?????

I used a kit I found online.

It came with the painted canvas and colored yarn, but the colors weren't right for Connie's room, so I changed them to match the rug.

The flower was originally orange....

 and the butterfly blue.

I also adjusted the background colors and added the borders to make the pillow larger.

If you want to change the colors on a needlepoint canvas, just make sure you keep the values (darkness and lightness) the same, so the shadowing will still work.

I also chose prints for framing that picked up the rugs colors.

(Like the reflective glare in the glass?????)

(I am such a good photographer!!!!!)

Next to the chair is a little metal table we found that had a vintage garden feel.

After searching and searching, I found this floral vase that I had made into a lamp.

I wanted some color on the table, and the white lamp we had been using just wasn't doing it for me.

So then we found a green lamp.

Actually, I think Connie found this green lamp.

You can see in these pictures, this was before I had made the pillow for the chair.

But the green lamp wasn't doing it for me either.....

I wanted something larger and with more color.

So when I changed the pillow and added the floral lamp,

it made me a happier decorator!!!!!

I tell ya.....

this decorating stuff takes 

years!!!!!

I will be deconstructing this room for you guys this week.
