My challenge to find The Emperor's New Bed yesterday was successful to a point. I know what style upholstered headboard I'm going to get for our bedroom & the new Guest Room, now I just have to decide on the fabric. My dear friend Char @ Richfields loaded me up with a stack of fabric samples she knew I'd like, so now I need to run them past The Emperor & get the royal nod. I've narrowed it down to a Toiles De Mayenne or a stunner from Hodsoll McKenzie. The contrast will be provided by the new bed linen & accessories, & my head's spinning with the possible combinations - & for a boring scientific-type that's very unusual! I was totally smitten with a Manuel Canovas print 'Junko', but would need to sell MOTH & the boys to the Siberian Salt Mines to pay for it.

Beautiful fabrics, Millie.
ReplyDeleteYou are going to have a fabulous bed, love that colour palette.
Good luck with getting something that you both like.

These are beautiful. Such a restful color palatte, and so easy to mix colors into when you feel the urge!
ReplyDeleteNice selection Millie. Salt Mines await ... he he

ReplyDeleteBest,

Millie, Im still laughing at the"the royal nod".... good luck with your selection. Julie in Holland :)
ReplyDeleteLovely selection Millie
ReplyDeleteAnd that new source at the end of your post is fabulous. The 'Miss Millie' range. Certainly the best in the lot. Well poor MOTH. Dethroned for the want of some bounty. Have a great week. x Julie [in Australia]
Love the colour palette Millie. Not sure with a messy husband and a rambunctious border collie that I could get by with so many white and light colours in my home, but I do love to look at yours.
ReplyDeletePreliminary groundwork looking good...love a bit of neutral....shame that 'Junko' wasn't a 'junko' price...not to worry...pricey isn't always the nicest....good luck on your quest.XXXX
ReplyDeleteGreat colours, and a nice selection of fabrics. Good luck with your project here!
ReplyDeleteLove the colours for the bedroom.Very calm and relaxing.

Love those natural fabrics. Sometimes there is just too many to choose from! Can't wait to see what you decide on.
ReplyDeleteLoving the upholstered bedhead - I have just ordered one myself for my new bedroom and it has an upholstered bedhead in a Warwick fabric called cambria - similar to what you are looking at. Hope the right fabric jumps out at you and says "pick me, pick me". Leanne
ReplyDeleteHi Millie
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your quest. I've been up the ladder for two days painting (not the family room but my dining room, store room and powder room) on my days off. Still got along way to go. Husband will help on the weekend.It makes me wonder after a hard day why am I doing this? Most off my friends never both with there homes other than keeping them clean and tidy are they happier they certainly don't ache like I do. Forgot to ask where did you find those beautiful drum light shades in your lounge.
Kind Regards
Karen
Lovely choices Millie.....I hope that we will be permitted a glimpse of the royal bedchamber on completion.....always nice to see how the other half live ;)
ReplyDeleteKaren I feel your pain! Halfway through the massive painting job here I had retire 'injured' with the worst tendonitis of my right elbow. It took a number of excruitating intrarticular injections & weeks of physio to fix. No sympathy from MOTH though -he told everyone I'd gone soft!
ReplyDeleteThe drum shades were chosen by MOTH (I had to concede to get something else!) & were bought from good 'ol Beacon Lighting. Happy painting.
Millie ^_^
Hello, I absolutely adore your site and I just had to leave a note for you to say so !
ReplyDeleteYour posts are interesting, creative and original, and your pictures are great too.
Perfection !
Thank you for sharing them all and best wishes... Happy September
I'm envious, there's nothing quite like the fun of putting together a lovely fabric story, especially in a bedroom. Enjoy. xx
ReplyDeleteThe fabriques and the bed below is heavenly beauty.
ReplyDeleteIf I just could lay down on that...
Have a happy spring days!
xoxo
Love your choices Millie! I'm looking at similar colors/fabrics for our master bedroom also!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking it's lucky that MOTH and the boys are such hard working chaps... they'll do just fine at the Salt Mines:)! Think of all the practical jokes using salt they'll be able to think of, all the while you'll be lounging in your beautiful Junko bed!!;)
Ohhhh - I love them all. Waiting with anticipation to see the finished headboard.
ReplyDeleteI love Junko from Canovas too, I have an old screen length from the Colefax days - lovely
