Vintage Headboard

 The pink headboard is a vintage piece a friend of mine had purchased at a yard sale. It was hanging out in her basement until she decided what to do with it. Enter me. I was was working on a design for a bedroom in a show house. I asked if she had anything I could use for the bed. She led me to this headboard and although it had seen better days it was still kind of fabulous.  I loved it. My friend repainted the frame ( she's quite talented) and I selected a beautiful dark taupe velvet and had it reupholstered. The result is below.
                                                                            Stunning.

This is one of my all time favorite vintage make overs. I had the room painted a very soft pink and used gorgeous fabrics from Mulberry and Kravet for the bedding. They are beautiful but the stand out piece is the amazing vintage headboard.

Beautiful

Sherwin Williams has designated Argyle as their color of the year.  Argyle is a jewel like emerald green.

  A color that adds depth and stability.

The color of the year for me is Fuchsia. I love this color.

Fuchsia is chic, brilliant and highly mixable.

It works beautifully with cool grey, tan, beige, white, taupe, deep brown, icy blue, cream, soft pink. You get the idea.

Fuchsia can be the main color or used as an accent.

Gorgeous

Stunning.

Fuchsia can be bold or

soft.

If you're feeling particularly adventurous you can mix tango tangerine and fuchsia to create an unforgettable space.
When I find myself drawn to a certain color I decide if this is a color I like for now or is it a color I like/love long range.
Tango Tangerine and Argyle are now colors for me. I will use either in small easily changeable ways.
Fuchsia is a color I always want and like. I can use it just about anyway and be happy with it for a long time.
