Matters are really starting up to choose up steam in the apartment! I’m always sharing genuine-time updates on Instagram but I wanted to article some extra photos of the new headboard below for the reason that I really like it SO considerably. I’m so glad that Jen and I made the decision on working with Bowood for this piece. To say it is been reworked is an understatement. As you may keep in mind, the headboard is the Pondicherry from Serena and Lily, in a grey linen that they offered. I liked it but was hardly ever about the moon about it, and immediately after a handful of many years it surely experienced a couple stains and was in need to have of a makeover. I briefly considered having a distinct headboard altogether, or a mattress (I seriously wanted a brass mattress!), but in the long run we resolved that reupholstering this was the most effective alternative. I’m basically seriously glad we have been ready to reuse some thing I by now experienced – and viewing it in this new fabric has designed me recognize how much I really like the form and traces of it. Like, Love!
We employed Jen’s upholsterer for this project, and I know I’m a poor blogger mainly because this would be a lot far more intriguing or educational for folks if I experienced like, DIY’ed it! Or extra thrilling if I’d discovered it secondhand or what have you. Alas, I am not a DIYer and I am not blessed enough (or affected person enough) to come across a piece like this secondhand! So we made use of a expert and I’m thrilled with how it turned out. It is just gorgeous and critically will make the room. I’ve generally favored Bowood but I have to say, it is even a lot more impactful and attractive in particular person. Also wished to notice that I used Bowood Union, which is the model that’s a blend of cotton, nylon and linen. Normal Bowood is 100% cotton and arrives in a handful of colorways. My colorway is environmentally friendly/grey. I selected this for the reason that there are two neutral colorways of the 100% cotton Bowood – environmentally friendly/grey, or white/leaf (there are also blue and pink versions). The inexperienced/gray had a very beige ground, and the white/leaf had a extremely white floor. It was difficult to make your mind up because I liked equally in diverse strategies – the beige ground experienced a rather tea-colored, antique search, but the white/leaf was pretty clear on the lookout. The good thing is there was a ideal solution – Bowood Union in eco-friendly/gray. It has a beige ground that is not AS beige as the other version – so it is significantly the great medium between the two. Complicated, perhaps! I felt it was crucial to do my investigate and see all of the shade and material alternatives in advance of deciding on, so I’m happy I did that.
I also required to share how a great deal I really like my Sarah K. Styles bedding! I located it through (who else?) Louise Roe, and just experienced to have it – even even though figuring out Uk sizing was a little bit of a head-scratcher. I’ve normally just been entirely enamored with ditsy florals so there was no question in my mind that I essential this cover and pillow set. It is so quite and charming. The colors, the print, the ruffles…just ideal. I have a total measurement mattress and I’m very positive I received the Uk King dimensions. It fits correctly and it is definitely comfortable and snug. (By the way, I actually need to switch the drum shades – I’m considering of carrying out a pleated environmentally friendly cloth!). It’s truly bizarre, I utilized to generally obtain sleeping under my quilt tremendous awkward and it felt really incredibly hot and much too heavy with a linen quilt go over on it…but at any time due to the fact I switched to this a single, I have no difficulties and discover it actually comfortable. Was it the cover protect all this time that was the difficulty, not the quilt alone?! I honestly never ever suspected! Strange.
I just just cannot feel how considerably I really like Bowood! It is these types of a best mix of sensation kind of classic and antique, but also contemporary and energetic. There is nothing at all fusty or fussy about it. It is sort of a perfect cloth and I could go forward and do curtains in it way too, because it is just so excellent.
Lots a lot more updates that I want to photograph and share – many thanks for next!
