In our last episode, bossy color apologized for our, how shall we say? lame, lazy attempt at accent pillows on her very own bed.
At the time the offense took place, we were focused on the new Galbraith and Paul headboard, with which we were madly in love. We ran out of steam before “finishing the look,” as they say. [More…]
A concerned Gentle Reader inquired about the bed now, hoping against hope that bossy color had come to her senses and clawed her way out of matchy-matchy hell.
We are happy to report that yes, the bed is now considerably less offensive. Most days, it looks like this:
Please note that these are the same pillows that were (accurately) pronounced “sad” when they were parked on the blue living room sofa.
We think their new location is a dramatic improvement, don’t you?
On days the turquoise-y pillow is otherwise engaged, the bed looks like this:
A bit hokey, perhaps, but that little monogrammed pillow has sentimental value, as it was a bridesmaid’s gift from a dear friend.
The matelasse coverlet, by the way, is from the good old Company Store. When our husband said that it reminds him of the linens in Italy, we knew we had done well.
Bossy color hopes this little update has restored your faith in our ability to make a bed.
We feel better, that’s for sure.
