Hi Erin. I have always loved your sense of style, your house in Dillman Farms and your current house were/are both lovely. And you always seem to be able to pick the right colors for things. Don’t know if this will work with photos but we will see! I can always just use a little guidance. Or maybe just reassurance.
So my office is white with one bright blue wall. Bright blue wall has white shelves. See photo.
Opposite the bright blue wall is my closet which will have craft supplies and junk in it, and instead of closet doors I’m gonna put up a curtain. In between the two is an actual window that also could use a curtain.
Next to my desk, and next to the window will eventually be a single bed. It may have that blue quilt on it, that you can see on a chair. That chair will be moving out of the room this week so it is irrelevant. A smaller bright green chair may move in here though.
Other furniture in room is small reddish-brown wooden desk and small white shelves, so good neutrals.
So I figured using the same cloth for the closet curtain and the window curtain would be smart. Of course the closet opening is so large that the curtain will be most of that wall. It obviously ought to coordinate with the bright blue, and I do like blues and greens. But I’m thinking something as bright as the wall would overwhelm the room. So my instincts are something a little softer.
So I went to fabric store today and oh my God it was a fantastic local store with so many choices, a quilters paradise. I took photos of a few things that sorta called out to me, but then I’m worried they’re gonna be too busy or something. Anyway, here’s a bunch of Photos. Let me know your thoughts.
I hate the brackets on these shelves. I'll eventually re-do them and make less industrial/obnoxious. Those shelves will eventually be full of tchotchkes and souvenirs and tons of things I’ve kept in boxes for years!
These are little postage stamps. I do love stamps and mail. There was one more green — this photo — and another that was more blue.
This fabric is a range of colors. It intrigued me.
I really like all the plant prints. Maybe something green to balance the bright blue?
I loved this. But would it be too busy if really big?
I need to measure and figure out how many yards I need!
Thank you for considering my problem!
Cindy
