I’ve excessive hopes that at the moment will probably be my final day engaged on the grasscloth wallpaper. I feel I’ve 4 extra items to hold within the lobby, two extra gentle change plates to cowl, one doorway trim header to reinstall, a little bit of trim to put in across the closet doorway, and some nail holes to restore in the entire door trim headers. After which that challenge will probably be crossed off of the listing and I can transfer on.
And it’s simply in time as a result of the 2 materials I ordered from Spoonflower arrived yesterday, which implies that I could make all of these ultimate choices (like the ultimate choice on which route to make use of the material cloth, which I shared about two days in the past), and get began on the entire mushy furnishings within the room.
First, right here’s the material for the lobby bench. I completely love the material. That is the sample I selected, and I had it printed on efficiency velvet.

Spoonflower velvet is form of attention-grabbing. It has a really low pile, so I don’t suppose it’ll ever have that actually luxurious look that almost all commonplace velvets have. I may very well be unsuitable, however I doubt it. And it nearly appears like a cross between a velvet and a felt. It’s totally different, however I nonetheless suppose it’ll be good in opposition to kitty claws, which is why I have a tendency to decide on velvet for all of my furnishings after I can. Velvet is likely one of the most sturdy materials with regards to cats who prefer to scratch. (In fact, in case you don’t maintain your cat’s claws trimmed, they’ll nonetheless do harm.)
The inexperienced matches the inexperienced that I used on the dresser nearly completely. That was intentional. I selected a paint colour that was the closest I might discover to the material colour with out having it colour matched. The dresser colour is Glidden Moss Level Inexperienced from Residence Depot.


I feel I’m going to color the bottom of the bench in the identical inexperienced in order that it has extra affect. It’s sitting within the nook of the bed room proper now in order that I might see what it seems to be like in opposition to the wainscoting and the grasscloth because the nook within the lobby the place it’s truly going to dwell doesn’t have grasscloth simply but. However I feel it wants a little bit additional punch of colour with a inexperienced base in order that it stands out extra in opposition to the white wainscoting.
However after all, probably the most thrilling cloth that I obtained is the one for the headboard and bedskirt. I selected this sample for these gadgets, and I had it printed on 6.5 ounce extensive cotton sateen. The material is 116 inches extensive, which implies that I received’t should match the sample or have any seams on the headboard. I used to be fairly excited to see that they provide additional extensive materials! And the 6.5-ounce cotton has a really good weight to it that’s excellent for gentle upholstery, curtains, pillows, and many others. I wouldn’t cowl a settee with it, nevertheless it’s excellent for a headboard and bedskirt.


You’ll should look cross the mess within the room proper now. I hope to get all of this cleaned up by the tip of the day at the moment. However I simply love this view of the material in opposition to that wall from the lobby.


So naturally, I had to herald the remainder of the materials to get a sneak peek of every thing collectively. I received’t be utilizing that inexperienced cloth on the mattress, however that inexperienced will probably be on the mattress by some means. What I would like is to make a striped cloth with the entire colours, together with that inexperienced, to make use of on a pillow.


I hesitated to incorporate the material trim in a photograph as a result of I do know lots of you may’t see my imaginative and prescient for it. Simply perceive that if I can’t tone it down only a bit, I received’t be utilizing it. It’s method too shiny and too white proper now, however I’m hoping I can do a tea stain (or espresso stain, as somebody instructed) to tone down the colour, make it extra in step with the corals within the room, and tone down that shiny white design. However I used to be additionally in a position to see how the material cloth seems to be with the remainder of the materials going every route. That is the darkish model of the material cloth (i.e., nap of the velvet going up).


And that is the sunshine route of the material cloth (i.e., nap of the velvet taking place).


There’s a transparent winner in my thoughts. The darkish appears to work a lot better. However the mattress additionally wants some coral on it, so I introduced in the one coral cloth I’ve. I wish to use it as an accent by some means. I really like my blues and greens, however I all the time love them extra when paired with heat colours, whether or not it’s pink or coral. And clearly, I’m not utilizing pink on this room, so including coral on the mattress is a should. Right here a peek at that with the sunshine model of the material cloth.


And right here it’s all along with the darkish model of the material cloth.


So I’m nonetheless understanding in my thoughts precisely how I’m going so as to add coral, and what cloth I’m going so as to add since I don’t plan to make use of that inexperienced geometric sample on the mattress. My coronary heart actually is ready on a striped cloth, so I assume I would like to begin taking part in round with some design concepts for that so I can have it printed ASAP. Within the bed room mockup I did, I added a striped pillow, in order that’s my imaginative and prescient. It’ll want extra inexperienced, although.


I additionally want to begin testing out some methods to tone down the trim for the draperies. It’s only a contact too shiny, too orange, and too white. If I can tone it down only a tiny bit, I feel it’ll be excellent.


I’m very anxious to get began on all of those different initiatives! Let’s hope that issues go easily at the moment with the remainder of the grasscloth wallpaper in order that I can end that up at the moment. I feel I wish to sort out the draperies subsequent.
