Pretty in Paisley

The blue paisley was the feature fabric for our masterbedroom when I got started with that room a little over a year ago when we moved to Birmingham. My DH loves blue, so that was the starting point for fabrics (and not just any blue...it had to be deep & rich blue), so when I saw this one at Calico Corners, I knew that was the one. My mom did all my sewing for this project (as she always so graciously does for me) and the blue/gold bedroom was born.

Imagine my surprise when I went into Homegoods last year & spotted a box with my blue paisley...yeah, I was pretty excited! Their prices are so reasonable, so I began picking them up one at a time, as I found them. The white wicker basket with the paisley liner sits on top of an iron shelf in my bathrooom & holds all my brushes & hair dryer stuff. The really cute small one sits on my vanity table & just looks so pretty. And, the larger box with the lid, I got for my DH's dresser, since he tends to clutter it up with junk. It's a perfect place to dump his stuff...it's out of the way, but still there. Of course, he made fun of it a little, but I actually think he likes it too!


And here's the monogrammed pillow that my mom made too...I did have the monogram done locally at a shop here. This paisley fabric is on the Euro shams too, as well as a tiny bit on top of the window panels. It was fun finding all these special little items that really pull all the fabrics together.
