Vivid Hue Guest Bedroom Makeover

I've been working on a handful of projects this summer.  I haven't been completing *any* of them quickly because I'm juggling all of them at once!  ha.  I did finally finish painting the guest bedroom.  You may recall that I fell in love with Emily Henderson's office color so I decided to paint my guest bedroom in HGTV's Sherwin William's SW6510 Loyal Blue.   

Next, I scored this fabulous vintage chenille throw in turquoise and lime green from Antiques on the Farmington and this set the stage for the rest of the room. 

Today, I just received my turquoise bamboo nightstands from Parker Kennedy--LOVE LOVE LOVE!

 And I thought now was a great time to share with ya'll my big plans for this room...

Remember my idea to trim my lil ole mudroom in grosgrain ribbon nail head trim?  (Recall here).
I even went so far as to have ya'll vote on your favorite color for that room in "Blush or Bashful"  

Well....I have decided to use the hot pink (azalea) Petersham ribbon in this guest bedroom!  I have already ordered the ribbon and the nailheads and I'm ready to jump right into this project once the supplies arrive! 

Lastly, I want to add a fun Sputnik type lamp in here.  I had considered solid gold, but then found this one  by Stimulight on etsy with the turquoise tips...what do ya'll think? 

PS- if you follow me on instagram, you already know that fab fuchsia chair is a find from Home Goods!  And that sailboat picture was a score from my antiquing in Kennebunkport! 

Blush or Bashful?

Help Me Pick The Grosgrain Ribbon Trim for the Mudroom!


Lisa Mende Nailhead Trim

It was Lisa Mende and Traci Zeller's Adamsleigh show house room that sold me on Grosgrain Ribbon and Nailhead trim.   And then my other pals, Nancy and Bethany of 'Powell Brower at Home' perfectly executed this in their laundry room during this year's One Room Challenge.   How could I not be all over this?



Since seeing these beautiful rooms, I have been just dying to try this out in one of the rooms in my own home.   For a hot minute, I thought I may try it in the study.  Then I settled on the mudroom. 

I'm going to be adding grosgrain ribbon nailhead trim to the mudroom and I need your vote on the best color of ribbon for the project



It's voting time Vivid Hue Homies. 

Here are the contenders:
1. 1" Petersham Rayon Grosgrain Azalea (the darker of the two in these photos)

2. 1" Petersham Rayon Grosgrain Hot Pink (don't let the words 'hot pink' fool you, it appears to be the more pale of the two in these photos). 

3. Petersham Grosgrain in Black (not pictured). 

My thoughts in ordering the pink shades of ribbon were that I wanted to be more daring in the mudroom.  I may eventually consider painting the ceiling and I want to push the limits on creativity and fun.  I thought for sure that I would love the azalea ribbon (the brighter of the two) but now that I have seen both ribbons up close, I am leaning towards the hot pink (more pale).  I want the room to push the limit but I also want to keep it tasteful. 

I haven't selected the nail heads yet but have been considering a square 1" shiny silver. 

I tried to provide as many "in room" shots of both ribbons for your review.  Be honest and let your feedback roll! 

The trim on the x benches matches the azalea ribbon (but I don't necessarily want to match the entire room simply around 5 yards of trim that I've put around the benches...this trim can easily be swapped out).

What are your thoughts?
Azalea or Hot Pink?  Or none of the above?
