Have you ever been faced with re-decorating a room and struggling with just what to do? What color do I paint? What pattern do I use? How will I bring it all together?
Re-decorating becomes much easier if you choose a favorite piece or painting in your room to work around. (Or set out to find a new one!).
For my master bedroom decorating, I decided to take the colors out of my favorite print. It hangs above my bed and I show it off with a decorative curtain rod and sheer swag.
This print has soothing, yet dramatic colors of pale gray/brown and deeper brown. So in my decorating, I decided to work with those colors to coordinate with this lovely focal point.
The resulting ornamental plaster ceiling frame that I wrote about earlier, has these exact colors in it.
I then needed to incorporate the same colors in to the other architectural elements in the room.
Years ago, I crafted ceiling to floor wall columns that were once marbled with light, warm brown colors. They no longer coordinated with my new color scheme.
Notice how they now have been faux finished with the deeper brown within the print and ceiling frame. I kept the existing Raised Plaster Vertical Leaf Frieze Stencil design from our stencil however. It's vertical design works perfectly on these columns.
The room is really coming together! Now just to get that crappy, dark blue carpeting changed out and I'll be a happy artist!
