Crocheted coverlet, need quick advice by tomorrow!
Comments (5)Thanks for your suggestions. To test how it looked I just laid it over a solid colored sheet. I would plan on buying something darker underneath for more contrast. A thin bedspread would be ideal: I am planning to use this in the summer. I was thinking about whether I would ever be able to find shams that went with it. The odds of finding the same crochet pattern are next to nothing. So, how would I best coordinate them? I can sew (not that I donâÂÂt have too many projects going as it is). Whether I bought or made something, what look do you think I should be going for? To match the ivory of the crochet, or create a color contrast? I find in daily use, I almost never put my shams on. But that is on a bed made with a bedspread, where I donâÂÂt have to, and it still looks made. Thanks again....See MoreCrocheted coverlet, need quick advice by March 1 (tomorrow!)
Comments (11)Thanks for your suggestions. Kew2006, the bed looks so âÂÂundressedâ with the pillows exposed, though. Normally they are covered with my bedspread. I find in daily use, I almost never put my shams on. But since I have been using a bedspread, and making the bed is so quick and easy, normally I donâÂÂt have to and the bed still looks well made. I would probably have to stop using 100% cotton, as they always look rumpled. When I was trying to take a nice looking photo in a hurry, I really noticed that. I would plan on buying something darker underneath for more contrast. Probably royal blue or a darker green, as that would go with the curtains (open to suggestions!). The dust ruffle is a burgundy-brown taffeta. The bed is an antique and high:, finding a dust ruffle that was deep enough took years, so I think whatever I choose for underneath needs to go with this. A thin bedspread would be ideal: I am planning to use this in the summer. How would it look, you think, with the dark bedspread over the pillows and the coverlet just laid sideways as in the middle set of pictures? No shams at all? Thanks again....See MoreFurniture search w/ very specific parameters!
Comments (14)k9, I know, I can do 18" deep..."ideally" it would have been 15" or less but I measured and the 18" is okay. Anyway, I did order the Pier 1 cabinet yesterday and I think it should work out well. I am hoping my new window shade arrives soon so I can finish up this mini facelift during our downtime between Christmas and New Years. DH is taking exactly one vacation day after Christmas and I want him to hang up new towel hooks, new roller shade, and new curtain rod! Yes, the whole thing should take him maybe an hour, but he will carry on as though I asked him to re-roof the house in a day....See MoreHow to organize my kitchen specification?
Comments (26)If a designer is local, they should have some contractor referrals from people they have worked with before. That should give you a boost ahead of just soliciting business with them without a referral. And it also means that they work well as a team should you also want to hire the designer to Project Manage for you. For documentation, you should be getting something that looks like the documents at the following link. Plus a spread sheet of choices for items, if you and the designer have done the required work together to create that specification document. Some customers only want a cabinet layout, and not help with other specifications. Buy it does sound as though you need the full package. https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/105612493/thumbs/project-documentation-samples Look for someone who tailors their design package to what you need. But, it sounds as though you need a full service design, assistance with contractor selection, and someone to aid you in project management too....See Moreelunia
