Color Me Happy


Every time I see a decorated room, I am always curious to see the wall colors, make a note, and pick up the swatch when I am that paint store. I have piles and piles of paint swatches in a large zip lock bag that are just laughing at me as we speak. I am constantly getting stuck on a particular color, you think that it would make your choices a little simpler right.
WRONG!!! Who knew that there were so many shades of a “golden brown.”




Do you remember this chair? I am thinking about recovering it also. I have battled back and forth about covering in the leopard print or a linen fabric with chocolate brown embroidery. If I decide to use the leopard on the chair, I could later add dining chairs in the linen.
I also bought upholstery fabric to recover a sofa I had bought a resale shop. I chose a golden brown tight weave chenille hoping it would be a good child friendly fabric. And, the golden brown should hide just about everything, right?
-Cheers, Amy

Love both fabric choices...I like the idea of the animal print on that chair and using the linen on DR chairs!

Great fabric choices, Amy! Don't you just love a fabric store. I can stay for-ever looking at all the patterns and colors. The animal print is really great. It adds such a fun twist to a room.

Your little one is just too cute!

Hope that you are having a wonderful week!
