Since we bought our home last fall, I have been wanting to do something fun with our bedroom. Once again I found inspiration at Rebecca Anthony's place! She showed some decorating pics from her new home and I was so inspired by her tangerine bedroom!
I love lots of color in my home too, so I took a deep breath, went to the paint store and picked out a gorgeous orange poppy color for one wall in my bedroom.
I had shopped online for a couple months, just looking for the perfect cover, and never found one that was quite right...
At the fabric store I stumbled upon this collection of fabrics that I just LOVE! All oranges, reds, yellows, blues and greens, and they remind me so much of my art too...lots of details.
The center panel here is intended for a pillow, but I used it as the center of my cover instead... What do you think?I JUST LOVE THE SWIRLS AND DOTS IN THIS
FABRIC (and of course all the flowers are so ME!)
FABRIC (and of course all the flowers are so ME!)
Loved this pattern and this shade of green, so I decided to add a strip of it just where the cover reaches the edge of the bed on either side ~ Helps when making the bed believe it or not! ;-) I also used this fabric at the top on the backside, so when the duvet cover is turned over, it shows the green against the print and looks really nice!
I am over the moon with how this turned out! (this pic is a little fuzzy, but you get the idea)
I cannot go into this room without smiling! Now I just need to make some custom curtains to match and lots of fun coordinating shams and throw pillows and it will be perfect!
By the way the art behind our bed is done by my very talented sister Amber! It's extra special to have it hanging over our bed, knowing my sissy made it for me.
Don't ya just love C O L O R!
Thank you to Rebecca again for always inspiring me to GO FOR IT!!!

I would smile too walking into that room - love the quilt - I see that your painting patterns are part of your tangible world too, how wonderful.
cheers, dana
it is just BREATHTAKING!! that reminds me of India too.... maybe its just me ;-) I love the soft lamp glow too!!
Wow, all these colors and patterns just absolutely POP! I love the color you’ve chosen for the walls. It’s not a choice many people make because they think it’s too heavy or too warm, but I think it looks great. The combination it makes with the fabric gives it life. Great job!
