So I've been wanting to redo my room for quite a while and now, given the opportunity, I'm jumping on it! Here is the fabric that got things rolling...
Pottery Barn must have known I was coming when they mixed all the colors I was working with into this pattern. The golds, smokey blues, greens (always a fav), a little red with smudges of musky pinks... couldn't have mixed it better myself.
So a little background... the room was already painted a light smokey blue at this point and I was needing to incorporate the furniture that was already in the room (white wicker bed side tables, a shelf stand, a white and gold bed frame, and a green lamp shade which I refused to toss because I still think it's darling).
Here's a little something I put together today to help keep my organized and incorporate my golds...
I realize it doesn't look like much but it's a huge improvement from the thin and boring hobby lobby wood panels on the outside of this dry erase board. I think this large gold frame better suits my taste and new room!
To do:
1. Pry apart/ off the old wood paneling.
2. Measure the inside of the frame you're wanting to use.
3. Transfer those measurements to the back side of the dry erase board.
4. get to sawing (yes, I literally sawed the thing in half. I'm sure there are better and easier ways but I was too impatient to wait. I wanted this thing done now!).
5. Clean from of dry erase board and position into the frame.
6. Glue that sucker into place and allow glue to dry.
7. Hang your new work of art!
Here it is with the rest of my desk/ study area (which is still a work in progress because those selves are just not working for me right now)...
