New DIY Upholstered Headboard

Hello friends!

Wow, life is busy! I'll spare you all my excuses about my absence so let's just get straight to the pretty.

New Headboards!

And tons of pattern!

You may recall the headboard I built forever ago. I covered it with a kantha cloth, which I loved, but I knew it wasn't forever. I had admired this crewel work fabric for a long time and finally decided to order it.

Then I waited...and waited...and waited more. It took over 6 months to come! And for that reason I won't link you to the website. They are full of lies and I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Good thing this was for me and not a client. Could you imagine?!

Pillows are sewn by me. The blue fabric is hand blocked brought by my father in law back from Indonesia.

So what do you guys think? I'm just loving the way all the color and pattern mixes together. It's not something I planned or even think can be planned. It has to be layered and collected over time. Not good for those of us who like instant gratification but so satisfying in the end!

Next I would like to replace the lamps, I think emerald green needs to go in here like I need dark chocolate (which is really bad!)

Happy Monday lovers!

Playing With Pattern

Something about a mix of different types of patterns just gets me every time. I love everything patterned, it's hard to restrain myself sometimes so things don't end up a hot mess. Even most of my clothing is patterned! I can't help myself.

So when I see the perfect mix, it just makes my heart sing!

Then there's my own interpretation of the pattern mix...

I think I may have finally found the perfect fabric for curtains + a headboard, so this will all be totally different soon. Can't wait!

I'm planning to work on a few projects this weekend since we're having lovely weather. One is going to be difficult and take a lot of time, wish me luck. 

What are your weekend plans? Do you have any pattern play in your home?
