The girl's tween bedroom I am designing is not complete, but is coming together very nicely. To help keep my little client stylishly organized, I created a ribbon message board that will hang above her desk. Here was my thought process and how I did it.
For visual interest, I like to to repeat a pattern here and there in the room. I selected a cotton twill fabric with trellis pattern in coral and thought it worked perfectly with the new Serena & Lily Aqua Trellis Sheet Set shown above.
It is a fairly easy DIY project, but does take some time. First, I staple-gunned the coral trellis fabric with a thin layer of batting under it to a stretched painter's canvas.
Baby blue grosgrain ribbon was laid out in a criss-cross diamond pattern and then staple-gunned to the back of the canvas. Clear floral buttons were sewn where the ribbons crossed. The buttons are darling and add just the right touch of sparkle.
That's adorable! I'm sure she's going to love it...and her whole new room. I think the choices you made are great!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Love the fabric choice.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love it - the color choices are bold, and work so well together!
ReplyDeleteNice color choices. And the clear buttons are a great variation on upholstery tacks.
ReplyDeleteVery cute. I'm getting into red/blue combos at the moment. I used to think it couldn't work but I keep being proven wrong! This pinkish red looks lovely with the aqua.
ReplyDeleteWow! I did this exact same project and used the same fabric a little while back! Thanks for stopping by our blog! Now I found yours and I'm very excited! Be back soon! -carlee
