I hate it when I get clumsy. Clumsy happens and it sucks. I was getting the Pottery Barn knock off bed out to give it a fresh coat of paint when I dropped it.
The headboard came off the rails. At least it was a clean break at the joint, so it was easy to fix. I got it re-glued and managed to give it some more paint yesterday.
This paint job is so much better! I even sanded down the edges to give it some wear and tear aging. I really like the ivory paint this time around. I'm considering just how much wear and tear I want. Maybe just a little. It is still a work in progress after all.
I'm not sold on the blue ticking stripe mattress. I might have to change that to red so it's more matchy-matchy with the redwork dahlia quilt. They clash when I turn down the quilt.
I have some solid red cotton and more of the red ticking stripe to work with. Maybe solid ivory sheeting? What do you think?
By the way, I still haven't finished the dahlia pillows. Maybe when I nail the sheeting, I can finish the pillow backing.
Thanks for stopping by!
Hi Jenny! I think that the bed and the quilt look WONDERFUL! Your choice of color and the amount of aging on the wood is so beautifully done. Personally I favor a solid ivory sheet so there is less competition with the coverlet and later the pillows, but a red ticking mattress sounds like it has possibilities too..... :))
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing what You choose, Jenny. I am certain that it will be Right as Red and Cream are a pretty combination for any Country style bed.
