MBR: toile / buffalo check, where to put which print
Comments (6)Good Morning Kind People! What an absolute delight it was to go online just now and read your terrific, supportive and helpful suggestions. If just for the notion of the tufting distorting the check fabric's symmetry alone I am forever grateful, decorpas! It had never occurred to me .... My husband really likes a tufted headboard so I just thought "sure!" But now I'll need to rethink either the tufting there or the fabric choice for the headboard. les917 -- you were the one who led me down such a great path with my boys' fabrics, so I was so happy to see your kind name here again helping me. Thank you for the links to those beautiful fabrics -- I've already bookmarked them! Thank you. gk5040 and oceanna, thank you for suggesting the solids. I think you're right: I was putting the cart before the horse. I should first wallpaper the room (because I know it has to be that red toile!) and then let me eye direct me. And of course, deciding what the actual seating will be (either that chaise or, more likely, two petite fauteil or bergeres) will certainly help decide what the upholstery should be. oceanna -- I am one of those who lives in a CL wasteland -- crap crap crap. We used to live in San Francisco where it was a shopper's dream! But things are different 'round here ... shoot. But I love your always-helpful and kind suggestions. When I first saw those chairs I posted above I thought I'd found a steal -- the two of them for $800. Then I reread it and realized I'd left off a zero. In this life I am just not in that bracket! And thank you for the nice words about my husband. Yesterday was one of those days with the kiddos (my one year-old decided to take NO NAP but did want to scream at me -- he was exhausted but wouldn't give in) where I realized I earn every penny (and then some) I spend on "me" things. I think he feels likewise so he knows if he wants to continue to spend private time with me anywhere (not just in the bedroom!) it behooves him to make sure I am pretty happy. But you're right -- I'm lucky that he doesn't put up a fuss about having a pretty bedroom. I have a friend whose husband hates smocking and gingham (for little boys' clothing) and will not allow their son to wear those things. Let's just say my kids would go naked if that were the case but, of course, I couldn't be married to a man who didn't appreciate smocked jonjons! Thank you for reminding me that I did good with my husband. We all need that mental goose every once in a while, and yesterday was certainly my day. When we get going on this project I'll be back to post pictures!...See MoreYellow gold buffalo check- is it seasonal?
Comments (4)Thanks ya'll! I love the idea of using the wool throws and pillows in the cooler months! And Toile has always been a favorite of mine too! In fact a toile pillow would be a great idea for my chair that's across the room to bring in some of that color. May take a look at Etsy since I don't sew. Thanks for your ideas!...See MoreISO Buffalo Check tie up window treatments or other suggestions
Comments (11)They will do whatever you want and yes, they will give you the amount of fabric to buy as well. They didn’t have a picture of this type of valance on their site and all I had to do was show them a sample pic of what I wanted. I asked for some additional length so there would be more gathering and that was fine. She also gave me some guidence on measuring to make sure they would be perfect. I bought the fabric from Fabric.com (which is owned by Amazon) and had it shipped directly to them. I had to buy quite a bit for mine because of the repeat, but to my surprise, they returned all of the unused fabric to me. There’s more than plenty for a runner so I may be doing the same. Turn around time was faster than expected too. The only thing I want to warn you about is that with the ties, make sure your fabric is just a simple light weight cotton. I chose a heavier tie fabric because it was a perfect match to the cream in the valance fabric but it’s too stiff or heavy and harder to tie. Oh, and you can order fabric samples from Fabric.com, I would recommend doing that just to make sure the check in the fabric is ample and the weight of the tie matieral is good. Here is the other one over the sink....See MoreCurtain Advise in Family Room - Buffalo Check, Plaid, Something Else??
Comments (8)No, I didn't lose the post you mentioned, I am hoping to get more responses and have posted pictures of the room. Thanks though. I know someone said to stay away from red, but........ I'm just frustrated becasue I cannot find anything that I like. I was thinking of a chocolate brown buffalo check with a brick red coordinating fabric, but I cannot find a nice chocolate buffalo check fabric....See More- 8 years agolast modified: 8 years ago
