The bed has arrived today - can't move in my hallway cos of it - and come hell or high water I'm clearing the room to put it up and see how it fits for size. Okay let me re-phrase that LOL! - I'm not hubby is - poor guy! Jess is due on Sunday so we have 2 evenings and just 2 full days to get the room habitable for her. The bed's all packaged up or I'd share a photo but I will at some point.
I've settled on using a very lightweight denim fabric for the curtains - I have yet to buy it but I know it's out there somewhere - I haven't exactly been able to get out and look at the moment. I have been struggling with an accent fabric so I decided to shop for a wallpaper border instead. Hopefully once it's up I'll get a real feel for something to compliment plus I'll also have a swatch left over to shop with. I thought you might like to see a photo of what I ordered.

Since the room is a multi-purpose room as in 'guest room/computer room/craft room' and hopefully a 'quiet place' for reading or prayer and with a slight 'Americana' overtone I knew as soon as I saw this border - all 7 3/4" depth of it that it would work for just about every aspect as well as add a wonderful splash of colour to the room. Hopefully by now it's reached my sister-in-love and she will re-package it and send it on to me asap (thanks Deb).
The upper portion of the room is painted in a cream, the lower in a denim blue so this border should create a lovely divide between the two and bring in the bit of vintage red/burgundy I'm hoping to accent with. I just love that it incorporates so much of what the room will be about and it's beginning to get really exciting! We have lived in our house for just over 15 years and it's been soooooo long since we decorated anything - okay the bathroom about 3 years ago - but it will be lovely to have a fresh, new room to look at!
Hope hubby gets home quick this evening so he can work on that new bed - I'm desperate to see some more progress and I know it'll spur us on. I think I'm gonna find another 'organising' project I can do while watching a movie this afternoon. I'm very limited as to what I can do right now but every little helps huh?
