Millie's current room for reference...I mentioned last week that one of our big Fall projects is to redo Millie's room.
After much searching, we found a perfect full size "canopy" bed (below) that we planned to place across the back wall to mimic sort of a groovy, pseudo daybed. (The room is small, so I don't want anything too large jutting out into the middle of the space.) But, the bed we love is pricey...way pricey -- like almost as much as my first car pricey.
So Bryan is going to build it! Sweet husband.
While he's toiling away in the woodshop, I'm searching for the perfect wallpaper for the wall behind the bed. I'm planning (ideally) to keep the rest of the room that perriwinkle color, so the wallpaper needs to coordinate a bit. But I'm also trying to find something fun that will still be relevant as she gets older... (I'd like this room redo to last a while.)
First up, the print below, spotted in last month's Cookie.
This is actually my first choice, as I think it would look good with the wall color and the yellow accents already in the room, and it seems pretty and feminine...I'm am a little nervous that the background looks cream in the photo below, and I tend to skew a bit more modern. But the size of the flowers seems to make an otherwise traditional print feel a little cooler, so it could work.
Can you tell I'm wavering??
Ok, onto option #2. The Dotswold from Anthropologie that made Audrey's "loving" list. I totally dig this wallpaper -- It's fun and festive, it would look good with the purple walls, and, well... it's just all-around cool.
BUT, I would have to totally change up the color scheme, kill all the yellow and get a new rug + the vibe of the room changes from soothing to sort of crazy, and I'm a little worried that the pattern might end up giving us a headache.
So there's that...
Then there's option three. It's the longshot, but it intrigues me. It's vintage Finnish paper, and I totally LOVE the pattern. It would definitely go with the existing colors, but yellow would become the star of the room... not sure if that's what I want.
Typically I feel pretty confident and decisive about decorating stuff, but for whatever reason this project is vexing me (maybe I'm losing my mojo a bit) so I need your help.Which one do you like...?
