Some Things Just Don’t Work

The best layed plans of mice and men just don’t work sometimes.  I had these gorgeous fabrics and wanted to use them all together.  Well, that turned out a dismal failure no matter how hard I tried.  

This is a look at one senario for how to mix them.  Really looks bad in real life.

 Another try and it is even worse.  I finally figured out what the problem was, and it is the background color of the gorgeous embroidered piece.  It turns a sort of dirty green brown next to the others.  (How come I couldn’t see that before?)

 So I just eleminated that one piece of fabric and now have a look that I can live with.  The dark pillow and the small rectangular are both old pillows from when we first moved in 5 yrs. ago.  Guess my taste hasn’t changed all that much. lol  However since they match the tableskirt and drapes, they still work beautifully.

I also used this fabric for the jelly roll pillow I gave you the tutorial for here.  Love this fabric.

This fabric is reversible, so I made the pillow with the dark side out on one side and the light on the other.  Love that I can change it around and get double duty out of it.  

Here’s the light side.

Now we are back to the dark side.  Both are so pretty.

I think for right now I am going to use the dark.

Just a tiny change but one that makes me happy when I see the room.

Ok, now to work on other areas of the house.  I need to spruce up the master bedroom, so I am hunting for inspiration.    Guess all the decorating and fluffing never ends.  Maybe that beige embroidered fabric will work in there?  Hummmmmmmmm  Got me thinking.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I always look forward to your visits.
