In addition to rotating the bed and all off-white bedding - you may want to consider changing the ceiling fan/light. Also, a classic Hudson Bay blanket springs to mind. Lean into cozy cabin.

So in a vacation lake house where kids will be sleeping, you can change the paint color to have the current bedding and accessories work for the cost of a gallon of paint, or buy all new stuff $$$…..

Down the road if you change your mind, just go with a softer green (and your new accessories will still work).

Found these on Etsy and thought they would be a great addition to a lake cottage and your room in particular.

^ yes love that pattern and it comes in so many colorways 🤩


Your sofa is so great and think it’s worth paying for pretty fantastic fabric so I’d look beyond HG - i love the fabric on the etsy in this shop called “Pop of Color” - she does terrific work and I think it’s very reasonable for the quality

Agree with debrak6 to investigate Room and Board. High quality, US made, lovely customer service. Very pleased with my pieces (bed, case goods, swivel chairs). Enjoy your new home.

Primitives in Austin has American made and Texas made. Bassett has an American made line. Louis Shanks is high end but I believe everything on their floor was American made.

I probably define bargain a bit differently. To me it's anything, ANY price, that does exactly what I want it to do, will last and is a joy to use, wear, or look at every single day for......basically a VERY long time, and whether for me or for a client.

That said? In the process of hunting "refreshers" for a few guest bedrooms where I have certainly blown the budget in the home of my man client?

I truck home these just yesterday: )

Chair w/ottoman from Pearson!! in blue/white ticking, a super comfy club with a companion white duck slipcover, expertly custom made and tailored both pieces. ( consignment dicker sticker, lol)

600.00

Two marble base 3 way lamps, perfect deep green. Home sense, marked down.

58.00 both

Side table with green top, iron base, for next to bed. Adorable

49.00

Two darling light blue toss pillows, scalloped edge with a little white trim .

29.99

Two brass candlestick lamps for another room

150.00 both

TADA!!!!!!!!!! CHAIR, OTTOMAN, 4 LAMPS, 2 PILLOWS 887.00.

All of which was on the heels of a Hickory Chair leather classic English arm leather, tight back sofa on Saturday, jammed down the tonsils of a new client whose hubby has not made it to bed all week as he's so comfy he's falling asleep on it, great " Coach handbag" warm color

1800.00 ( was in consign for a year, and I watched it go 3800.00, 2800.00, 1800.00)

In short? A very good week : )
