They painted it an alternate colour to the room and attached it, on its side, to the wall behind the bed! Maybe you could cover a door in a nice fabric??

I have been thinking of a deep brown in my own space and this was great getting to see what it looked like on your walls.<br /><br />The rest of your home is inspiring and beautiful. I love the airiness of some parts, the intimate coziness of others. You hit all my aesthetic buttons in just the right way! :)<br /><br />Take care,<br /><br />I.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02005943308747297947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549907091994594204.post-71146725578094713462009-06-05T15:14:28.060-07:002009-06-05T15:14:28.060-07:00Hi Maycie,

I was surprised to read that the purple pillow is a eurosham, which are 27x27. It does not look that big. Perhaps that is because it is tailored, and does not have a flange. It is one of the best configurations of pillows I have seen.<BR/><BR/>Any plans to get a headboard? We have never had a headboard in 15 years of marriage; just never found one I liked. I am finally having one made, it is mostly upholstered but has a wood frame.Things That Inspirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04405995431610377305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549907091994594204.post-54036351835146626462008-06-16T11:53:00.000-07:002008-06-16T11:53:00.000-07:00Hi Shawn, and welcome!

We always have our primer tinted to a 50-percent value of the paint color that will be covering it -- it reduces the number of paint coats required to cover strong colors from about four to two.<BR/><BR/>LeahLeahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03587662940285887833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549907091994594204.post-29840869223790305792008-06-16T11:37:00.000-07:002008-06-16T11:37:00.000-07:00Love your blog ... found through Kirtsy.
