    Thanks Shel! I would love to work on this project with you but I live in Montreal (Quebec) and I unfortunately don't know any designers in Houston. Feel free to contact me via email though. I suggest getting all the furnishings for the bedroom before choosing any artwork. This will give you a better idea of what would compliment the whole design. I like the idea of the crosses but they would stand out more on a painted wall instead of on the barnwood. I'm also thinking they might be too small for over the bed.

    Shel....Have you considered making your own upholstered headboard? I bet there are lots of internet DIY's on the idea.

    Hey all I'm trying to finish my moving sale. I will be able to discuss more next week, please hang in there with me!!!!!xoxo
  • 12 years ago
    Well, I'm at the stage of my project where I'm starting to go crazy with the details! I understand what you've been dealing with. It is fun but crazy! I might post my own discussion to get input!

    Kare, I want to put those where they can be seen in a common area. Right now I am interviewing decorators.
  • 12 years ago
    Lydia I agree with you on the blending of the wall. Ok so I will get the furniture first.

    Kare...decorating ideas,,,yes yes yes!!!

    You are probably wanting to focus on your bedroom still, but when I saw your LR/DR area pics, I pictured using navy accents in LR area with your grey sofa, and big rustic table with Charcoal grey Louis chairs in the DR area. I really like the mix of masculine/feminine in all your spaces.

    Do you have a rug for your LR?

    And in living room area:

    You could place one of these throws at the foot of your bed. Your front pillow is saying "Bed In A Bag". Maybe swap out for something like this little guy from PB.

    Do you mean the paisley pillow, get rid of it?
  • 12 years ago
    Yes, the one in the very front.
  • 12 years ago
    You could also remove the blue pillows that are behind the front one. Just leave the paisley ones in the back, as well as the taupe ones.

    And, Shel, I truly believe that your Barnboard wall is making such a (beautiful) statement that you don't have to embellish it with a picture!

    Plus the lumbar pillow I posted, along with the animal print throw.

    Are we back?
  • 12 years ago
    Well, I feel safe now, so I'm back! How are ya, Armygirl?
  • 12 years ago
    Like pooh, for some reasons headaches, nausea and all around blah. Been on the down low all day.
  • 12 years ago
    Sounds like changes in the weather. It sometimes affects me.
  • 12 years ago
    I am hoping that it is just allergies. I suffers from headaches but have been without medicine for awhile and is without a refill.
  • 12 years ago
    Sorry you're not feeling well, Army. I was wondering where you were!
  • 12 years ago
    Man down, man down....
  • 12 years ago
    Too much gardening?!
  • 12 years ago
    If you wake up feeling as awful tomorrow as you do today, go to the doctor to get more refills!
  • 12 years ago
    But I have not garden Thursday so it might be lack of gardening. I am on here trying ignore the feelings.
  • 12 years ago
    Sounds like it's time you go shopping for Shel!
  • 12 years ago
    Never heard of nausea as part of allergies? And as for not getting out gardening, you should try living in Canada lol. Haven't gardened since October!
  • 12 years ago
    It could be my hot flashes. LOL
  • 12 years ago
    Ok, I spent a lot of money on this new bed set and now y'all are saying it looks cheap?! What's a girl suppose to do? Anyone want to donate some stylish pillows?!........ Lol
  • 12 years ago
    As far as gardening, I have a huge mud pit out side my house which my kids think it is a blast to play in....NOT COOL!!!!!
  • 12 years ago
    Lydia,
    How much should I spend on an interior designer to help me decorate this house?
  • 12 years ago
    Allergies can trigger migraines, which can be accompanied by nausea.
  • 12 years ago
    Shel, I hope you didn't feel insulted by my suggestion! The look these days is a coordinated but not matchy-matchy one. So, bedding sets that include the works tend to look a bit generic.

    If you just remove the front pillow and replace with something that isn't part of the set, it will look a whole lot more interesting.

    The faux fur throw will add yet another layer of interest. The linens and soft pastels mixed with wolf fur and barnboard, AND those crucifixes, will stir up some tension and primal emotions that will have huge impact!

    Have you considered go if to Pottery Barn or Ethan Allen for assistance finishing with the decorating and furnishing? ,they both offer design services at no extra charge, but of course you are expected to buy product from them.

    If you want to explore this route, make sure you find someone who you feel is on the same wavelength as you, or you won't have a very good experience.

  • 12 years ago
    Awesome!!!!! Shel, I am so very, very, very happy for you! I know this was a tough and stressful journey - almost like pregnancy and childbirth, hey? But, hon, you got through it and have a beautiful home to show for yourself.

    I love the textures -'the faux furs, the nailhead trim on the DR chairs, that wonderful rustic barnboard - all balanced by soft blues and feminine touches.

    I wish you many years of pleasure and comfort in your wonderful home!

    Oh, and that DR chandelier is to die for!!!

    Oh, and that DR chandelier is to die for!!!
  • 12 years ago
    Where did you find that open "china cabinet" for the DR? That is very unique.
  • 12 years ago
    Custom built out of the barn wood! Thank you care for all your great comments.
  • 12 years ago
    Aww, that was a brilliant idea! Whose idea was it?

    Hi, armygirl :) Long time no see, huh?

    Howdy, neighbor Shel. Long time no- post but I've been following these "trimesters" (grins). This is really exciting. I just recapped all the progress above and what wonderful suggestions. It is evident you have truly made this new house your own. Assuming you have already moved into your home and settling in? It is evident looking at the photos you have found great happiness at your new castle. It's gonna be great! Wishing you lots of happiness, peace and enjoyment.

    Oh, I can't help it...I have to say .... I am applauding you in your final decision leaving the headboard alone even if you had not purchased an adjustable bed. The headboard is a PIECE OF ART! It stands alone. And I'm an artist/painter saying this. Hah.
    Did someone mention a home tour? I was thinking of your work deserving a photo album book. Even so, an addendum to serving as a valuable home maintenance reference. (Fixtures, tiles, contractors,flooring, etc.)
  • 12 years ago
    No home tour yet, i still need to finish my sitting room, I ordered some chairs from houzz and they are back ordered..lol

    Thanks for all the wonderful compliments... Warm and fuzzy inside!!!!!!

    I've decided to use canvas drop cloth + drapery clip rings for my rustic bedroom window treatment. It's relatively inexpensive, suits my theme, vary adaptable, and easy.

    I think to bring your bedroom up to date and keep the barnwood wall, you should choose a gray shade from the barnwood and get drapes and bed cover in one shade of gray and the flooring with another shade of gray. I would accessorize with pillows in the darkest shade of grey that you can pull from the wood
