Bits & Bobs....wallpaper woes & main bedroom furnishing!

O.M.G. DO NOT look at the mess! You did! You did! I know you did! Eeeeek!

Whilst sharing with you the agony of perusing wallpaper choices and then my excitement when finally deciding on THE design HERE, to the devastating conclusion that we couldn't afford it, posted HERE, the actual sample has been on order.

On a positive note, for 5 months it was an exciting 'done deal'.

And the sample which finally arrived, confirms that I've got exceptional taste!

Pity 'bout the budget. LOL!

In other news, the new King sized bedhead has been delivered (dust-cover still on)

but no matter which way I look at it...

 I can't help but feel it looks a bit incy in the space. ?

Hopefully when THESE mirrored bedsides get unpacked, they'll fill the space much better!

And...Davey has measured the shoe cupboard for fit-out!

It is a relatively inexpensive proposition and then I can finally unpack my shoes after 3 years of  'short-term', *cough* storage! 

My lame attempt at rendering; two of the wanted five shelves being drawn. You get the idea!

Whoop! Whoop!

seren'dipitous online shopping!

I've found an aesthetic soul-mate in Aaron Bourne of Harold's Finishing Touches.

 After 'discovering' him via Jen Bishop of The Interiors Addict in 2012, there's been little need for trawling the Internet for special pieces that pique my interest. No sore feet and disappointment in the local store offerings either!

Except for the faux bovine skull, all the items below are from his online store - it's a good thing (for my wallet) I don't live near enough to pop into his physical one!

Another serendipitous online find was the replica Constellation Map - Explorer; Compass to The Southern Sky, below right. Not a bad representation of the Thomas O'Brien map featured in the Elle Decor image, below left. Thank you Mimosa Lane for the tip off!

 I'm also excited to have secured the charcoal linen King bedhead I wanted for our new main bedroom. Dilema I posted about HERE, resolved! Yee Ha! 

Can you believe we're well past the half way mark of 2013?! 

Someone mentioned Christmas to me the other day. *shudder* 

Don't know about you, but I feel like I'm in some kind of space- time warp continuum where everything is sped up! Wish it would slow down so I could disembark! LOL!

decisions...

After much internal debate, I've decided on purchasing the same headboard for the new Main Bedroom as we have already (linen top, right below), except in a Charcoal colour.  

Why re-invent the wheel?

I love my current headboard's height, fabric, quality and style but it won't 'work' with my chosen wall colour; Dulux Silver Illusion.

I posted about the dilemma HERE and I'm confident this is the right solution. The existing bedhead will be utilised in the guest bedroom but, here's the thing....I'm not sure I can buy it!

 Fingers & Toes are seriously crossed I can track one down!

Am about to tune into the televised political debate between our Labour and Liberal Parties before our looming Australian election. It's a biggie...

Indecision

Damn. After thinking the main bedroom colours through for THREE YEARS I am in a serious quandary. Dulux Silver Illusion, Natural White or Domino?

(Detailing and ideas posted HERE before)

The problem is the bedhead. It is made from a beige-y French linen and looks icky against the grey which is the Silver Illusion; my top contender for all those years. It looks great in the Guest room against Natural White but the Main Bedroom is a much larger space and I'm concerned it will look too bland.

So... I'm considering leaving the French Linen bedhead in the guest room and buying a new bedhead for our bedroom. Perhaps a similar style but in charcoal linen or white leather?

Or a greyer coloured linen?

or velvet?

In our last house (seen below; no bedhead to cause drama!) I loved the darker palette than elsewhere in the house so maybe I could use my chosen greys and replicate that concept?

Or throw some of my favourite wallpaper in too?

David's on his way to buy paint as I type....he'll call for a decision any minute! 

Eeeeeek!
