Matt and I’ve been in our new bed room for 2 days now. It has been wonderful to lastly be sleeping in a correct bed room. But additionally, I noticed in a short time that having Matt in a room that I’m nonetheless engaged on and nonetheless needing to take “progress” footage as I get stuff carried out is absolutely placing a cramp in my entire running a blog course of that I’ve change into accustomed to. Since I’m the one who signed up for this entire running a blog factor, and Matt didn’t join it or volunteer to be featured in footage on my weblog, which means I solely have a small window of time (about three hours a day from 10:00am to 1:00pm) to take the entire footage I need to take for my submit the subsequent day. I’m SO not used to that. I’m used to having the ability to take footage all day lengthy, proper up till I flip the lights out and head to mattress.
With that stated, I’ve the entire bedding (minus one throw for the mattress that I nonetheless need to make), and I had hoped to point out that to y’all right this moment. It seems to be SO GOOD in my humble opinion, and I used to be so excited to share that with y’all. However I couldn’t get it carried out in that three-hour window yesterday, so I’ll have to attend till tomorrow to share these updates with you.
So within the meantime, y’all can assist me reply this query that has been nagging me ever since I bought the mattress arrange two days in the past. And that query is about paintings above the headboard. I typically love paintings or one thing ornamental above a headboard. It doesn’t should be a framed print. In our final bed room, I used a giant sunburst mirror above the mattress, and I completely cherished it.
However, in fact, that bed room was completely totally different from our present one. The headboard itself wasn’t actually a function, and it was a lot decrease, leaving extra wall area above it for the sunburst mirror. The bedding was additionally form of plain. As a substitute of constructing the headboard and bedding the function in that room, the wall was the function, and that allowed me to hold one thing ornamental above the headboard.
Our new bed room may be very totally different. On this room, the headboard and bedding (which I hope to get an image of right this moment) is the function. Not solely does it have ornamental cloth on it, nevertheless it’s a lot taller and arched. That makes it way more troublesome to place one thing above it, however I might nonetheless wish to have one thing there…I feel.
Ever since I put the grasscloth wallpaper up, I had been envisioning a set of three prints above the headboard. I even shared this image with you a few months in the past with that concept.
However now that the mattress is in place, I’m having a tough time envisioning that. There’s solely 27.5 inches between the highest of the headboard and the crown molding, however I’ve this unwritten adorning rule that no paintings could be hung larger than the window or door trim, in order that limits the accessible area much more. So I discovered a random image on-line (positively not the one which I might use, however I needed to search out one thing with orange in it) and did a fast mockup to see how that will look. I don’t like it. After all, I might select one thing with smaller paintings and extra mat in order that it doesn’t demand fairly a lot consideration, however even at that, I’m undecided how I really feel concerning the concept of three footage hanging side-by-side above the arched headboard.
After all, one small sq. image seems to be ridiculous…
So if I do a framed, matted image, one thing rectangular with a panorama configuration appears to suit the perfect, however I’m undecided if I like this. That appears method too excessive to hold a framed, matted image. It nearly appears comical to hold an image so excessive on the wall to me.
So I feel I’ve deserted the thought of hanging any form of framed and matted paintings above the headboard, however I nonetheless actually need to cling one thing above the headboard. And I feel I must also abandon the thought of discovering something sq. or rectangular. I feel if I put something on that wall, it must be a distinct form altogether. In order that made me consider probably utilizing a group of small sunbursts that might be organized across the arch of the headboard.
I simply don’t know, and I’m form of at a loss for concepts apart from that one. No matter I put there, I’d wish to be extra textural slightly than a print that individuals really feel like they should get near with a purpose to see it because it gained’t be attainable to get shut. I’d like one thing textural, shapely, and perhaps a group of one thing that may be hung across the arch of the headboard. So when you have any concepts apart from a group of small sunburst mirrors, I’d love to listen to your concepts!
Within the meantime, I’m going to attempt my hardest to get footage of the mattress all made up with the bedding and pillows whereas Matt is out of the bed room right this moment in order that I can present y’all the way it seems to be tomorrow. I’m so excited that I’m on the house stretch with this bed room!!
UPDATE: I appeared by some choices at Wayfair and Amazon and did a number of mockups of some attainable choices. They’re all mirrors as an alternative of paintings. First up, I discovered this 12-inch mirror on Amazon (affiliate hyperlink), so I might buy three.
This mirror is from Wayfair (affiliate hyperlink) and it’s all one piece. It seems to be prefer it’s asymmetrical, so I’m undecided if I might reside with that. However maybe I might make one thing myself utilizing this concept.
This set of 5 mirrors (affiliate hyperlink) is the right measurement. And naturally, they might be reflecting the room, in order that they wouldn’t truly look this vivid.
And eventually, this mirror from Wayfair (affiliate hyperlink) is just too huge for the accessible area, however I might simply make one thing like this myself.
