A DREAM BEDROOM

My client had just come into some money and decided to finally re-do her bedroom.  She repainted, re-carpeted and completely re-did her bed.  She settled on Shabby Chic fabrics and bedding.  Because she couldn't choose only a couple of the prints, she, basically, went with all of them.  Fun for me because I had a practically unlimited selection with which to create her dream bed.
Because her bed was high, nothing ready-made really worked.  I had to custom make the coverlet so that it looked like she had two bed skirts.  I think I ended up making about 27 pillows.  They literally took up 3/4 of the bed.  But it's what she wanted and she loved it.





These are some of the various pillows I made.  I got to mix and match as I pleased.  As I've said before in a previous post, that's my favorite kind of job:  here are the fabrics, you decide how to put them together.
And to top off the pile of pillows, I made her this bunny out of vintage chenille.  The ribbons around her neck reflect the colors in her bed.
