Not my William - but for a friend who is having a little boy this summer and I am so excited to be getting to help her with it! We had our first consultation on Sunday and we figured everything out in two hours. The general floorplan, what pieces of furniture to look for, crib selection, wall decor elevations, fabric selections, it was lovely. And on top of it all - I get to sew the bedding and window treatments for her!! Well, the bumper and bedskirt. I am really excited to get started and figure it all out.
More later - but the fabrics are gorgeous and that's where I will start. Her husband, who is perfectly adorable and would probably hate that I say so, had this "thing" against polka dots, which is kinda why we're doing "custom" bedding. It was difficult finding a readymade bedding that she liked AND had no polka dots in sight. Problem - while fabric shopping, J. found the cutest "circle" fabric and it was PERFECT. So we had to keep referring to it as circles, and not dots, and lo and behold - he agreed!! It's going to be pinch your cheeks cute - so excited!! And the swatch doesn't do it justice, because there are three rows of "circles" total and they are different colors. Will snap a pic of the full pattern later at the store...
the full fabric story all together
the "circles" will be the main fabric for crib bumpers
J loves a good stripe - this will be an inverted pleat bedskirt and also part of the window treatments
this will be used on the wall in a very cool way - more on this later
a feel good plaid as an accent pillow for J's chair
possible accent for crib bumpers - we're also looking at a solid linen...
So that's the general idea - with slightly darker than normal beige walls. Sherwin Williams Sands of Time - it's going to be great!the swatch looks funny on my screen - it looks much better in person with the fabrics.
Just so I don't spoil everything - I'm stopping now. But stay tuned...this is going to be fun.
