Decisions

I was browsing Spoonflower today looking to see if there were any genius fabric patterns to inspire a design for my son's room and I think I found one.  I saw this take on a Pantone color chart and thought it would be fun to upholster a chair in it. Also, the fact that all their fabrics are in the $18-38 range(depending on the type of fabric you print on) is a bonus.

The only thing is it really doesn't help me in narrowing down a color scheme.

So I'm thinking of putting it on these...

but my only hesitation is that they destroy everything with juice, boogs and drool. So I'm probably going to keep the orange leather and

frame a huge piece of the fabric for some inexpensive art.

 I also wanted to do upholstered headboards, but the juice and body fluids stopped me from making that mistake. Instead I'm going with these...

They are actually the beds my sisters and I used as kids. Haven't decided to paint them black or leave natural yet. I will have to let my energy level decide.

Here is the really sad and pathetic part. They are turning 4 & 6 soon and I have never "designed" a room for them. I'm a freaking designer, like the landscaper that doesn't mow his own lawn.

My only excuse is they DESTROY things. They go through a bedding set a year, draw on my walls and furniture despite punishments and having toys and priviledges taken away, and there room looks like a warzone constantly. I can't believe I'm actually showing you this, and I straightened it up a bit too. Here is is today...

messy desk is staying, mess hopfully not

I straightened the artwork, and noticed the o-m-a-s is mysteriously missing from Thomas' name. It was there the other day.

Note the baskets of Hot Wheels dumped over. I make myself nuts and organize them by car size , WHY?, because it makes me feel better when I'm done. Does anyone else organize their kids toys and then get annoyed when they dump them? Why do we do this?

They also love to drag there blankets allover the house to build forts and nests, which is fine, but its another reason why I never do their room. It always looks like an unmade bed.

Enough of my whining and tangents. On a good note, the little homewreckers have some expensive nightstands. I found my little pagoda treasures on Pieces painted black for ...

Yeah, that was a great find. Now I'm contemplating a color to paint them. My first choice was a  Prussian Blue, but I like green too.

The following are my fave boys rooms. The first one is my extra fave... maybe because I'm picturing them all neat with ascots and a pocket square (for the boogs), having calm deep conversations  with each other. Thomas is sketching, Joe is quietly organizing his sock drawer.... one  can dream.

Some black headboards...

i like.

Love the green chests, that would be the color I'd pick for the night stands...

This is my neutral wildcard, least likely to happen because I can't seem to stay away from color. Look at my fabric pick!  Maybe when they are tweens.

I've always loved Lulu's, and I want the artwork...
