    the Boy’s Room: Take 2.

    I fell in love with this fabric the first time I saw it. With its grey tones, soft blues, crisp greens, and muted browns. I knew I had to use it somewhere in my new home, but where, I just couldn't decide.

    Initially I wanted to use it on my dining room chairs

    but the pattern isn't neutral enough for me to commit to on such a large scale. It really limits what I’d be able to do in the living room, and impacts the color scheme for the majority of my home because it’s so open. Plus, I’m scared of upholstered chairs in the dining room. My little boy is mess.

    And I didn’t want to use it in my bedroom, because I’d prefer to have something more feminine in there. So, since my little super hero’s favorite color is green, and wants it to be incorporated in his black and grey bedroom; I could use if for his headboard hack. I think I'll like it better there anyway.

    I like that it’s masculine without being obvious and expected. Since his room is already furnished, all I really have to do is a bit of painting. I’ve decided to go with Mythic paint.

    Foggy Coast for the bookshelf, and the parts of the bed that aren’t covered with fabric, Barefoot Grass on the walls, and Seaside Reflections on the toy boxes I’m building.

    With the black accents already in place, I think it’ll be nice. What do you think?

    Well hope you enjoy the rest of your day! Talk to you in the next one.
