Apartment Updates: Bowood Headboard and Sarah K Designs Bedding

Factors are seriously starting up to choose up steam in the condominium! I’m normally sharing true-time updates on Instagram but I wished to put up some much more photos of the new headboard right here since I enjoy it SO much. I’m so happy that Jen and I decided on making use of Bowood for this piece. To say it is been reworked is an understatement. As you may recall, the headboard is the Pondicherry from Serena and Lily, in a grey linen that they available. I preferred it but was hardly ever in excess of the moon about it, and just after a couple of a long time it certainly had a handful of stains and was in want of a makeover. I briefly regarded as receiving a distinctive headboard completely, or a mattress (I actually needed a brass bed!), but in the end we made the decision that reupholstering this was the very best choice. I’m really seriously happy we ended up capable to reuse something I previously experienced – and looking at it in this new material has produced me understand how considerably I basically really like the shape and lines of it. Like, Adore! 

We utilised Jen’s upholsterer for this job, and I know I’m a terrible blogger simply because this would be significantly more interesting or informative for people today if I had like, DIY’ed it! Or much more enjoyable if I’d found it secondhand or what have you. Alas, I am not a DIYer and I am not blessed adequate (or patient sufficient) to come across a piece like this secondhand! So we employed a skilled and I’m thrilled with how it turned out. It is just stunning and severely tends to make the home. I’ve constantly appreciated Bowood but I have to say, it is even extra impactful and stunning in human being. Also wanted to note that I used Bowood Union, which is the version that’s a mix of cotton, nylon and linen. Regular Bowood is 100% cotton and comes in a couple of colorways. My colorway is eco-friendly/grey. I selected this due to the fact there are two neutral colorways of the 100% cotton Bowood – eco-friendly/grey, or white/leaf (there are also blue and pink versions). The inexperienced/gray had a extremely beige ground, and the white/leaf had a really white ground. It was really hard to decide mainly because I liked the two in various means – the beige floor experienced a really tea-colored, antique glimpse, but the white/leaf was incredibly thoroughly clean searching. Luckily there was a perfect remedy – Bowood Union in environmentally friendly/gray. It has a beige ground that is not AS beige as the other version – so it is critically the great medium in between the two. Puzzling, possibly! I felt it was significant to do my exploration and see all of the colour and material alternatives just before selecting, so I’m happy I did that. 

I also required to share how considerably I like my Sarah K. Patterns bedding! I identified it as a result of (who else?) Louise Roe, and just had to have it – even however figuring out British isles sizing was a little bit of a head-scratcher. I’ve usually just been absolutely enamored with ditsy florals so there was no issue in my head that I essential this duvet and pillow established. It’s so pretty and charming. The shades, the print, the ruffles…just excellent. I have a complete sizing mattress and I’m fairly sure I received the British isles King dimension. It matches beautifully and it’s truly gentle and comfortable. (By the way, I really need to have to substitute the drum shades – I’m contemplating of doing a pleated eco-friendly fabric!). It’s actually weird, I utilized to often obtain sleeping beneath my duvet super uncomfortable and it felt definitely sizzling and as well major with a linen duvet include on it…but ever due to the fact I switched to this just one, I have no problems and obtain it definitely comfortable. Was it the quilt include all this time that was the situation, not the quilt by itself?! I honestly in no way suspected! Strange. 

I just just cannot believe how considerably I appreciate Bowood! It’s this sort of a excellent blend of sensation type of vintage and antique, but also new and energetic. There’s absolutely nothing fusty or fussy about it. It’s form of a ideal cloth and I could go forward and do curtains in it too, for the reason that it’s just so great. 

 

Tons a lot more updates that I want to photograph and share – thanks for next!
