what i will do today is show you a [sneak peek] of what is currently taking place.
with amazing views of the lake from her master bedroom, it was quite easy to take cues from nature as to what colors would compliment the overall feel of her home.
she has been living in her lakeside home for about three years so she already has a substantial amount of furniture include an armoire, nightstands and a gorgeous light mint green king sized bed.
after tromping the house and pulling pictures from here and there and everywhere, we ended up changing our inspiration picture but managed to keep this rug.
after we brought the rug home, she was smitten. after it was install, she called me to tell me that she loved it. check mark for Mr. GW.
after i hung pictures i went with a friend to visit some stores we heard about through the grapevine. after arriving to our first stop, i came across this fabric. the whimsy of the motif printed on it and the feminine colors, seem to work so well with what we had already established.
after we left the 2nd store (details tomorrow) i went to hancock fabrics to check out their remnant section. to my surprise the almost exact pink and cream stripe fabric we discussed earlier was waiting for us. with a price tag of $4 a yard at 6 yards, i bought it knowing we would get excellent mileage out of it, because it gives a pop of color, and it adds an additional layer of interest.
she has yet to see the fabrics, so i am praying she likes it.
do you like it (yea i know you dont have to live with it...i was just asking...lol)?

The fabric is fabulous, almost like wallpaper from the 40's, love it, love the price. Keep up the good work. By the way, showing the photo of the landscape really sets the stage perfectly.
I love those colors! I am drooling, I can't wait to see the finished product!
I do like! I adore that fabric.
i love stripes rashon so hey...
Everything looks lovely! That bed is beautiful! Can't wait to see the finished project!
What a great view and a fabulous headboard, Rashon! I can't wait to see the whole thing!
Between the view, the rug and that fabulous fabric I'm now dying to see what you have done here! Can't wait!
Love, love that view! Your fabric choices are so on point too! Can't wait to see what you do.

Jealous of her view. We also have a lake near our home except we weren't the lucky ones that got the view...:( someone else did.
LOVE the stripe. How lucky is she to have a designer looking out for a good fabric deal.
What a beautiful view, and the fabrics you've chosen really bring those colors indoors! Can't wait to see it all come together.
both fabrics have a casual yet classic feel. love them! can't wait for the reveal.
Well played, Mr. GWH! The rug is fabulous, its light base color makes the darker heavier bed seem light. And that whimsical elephant fabric is just the thing to keep the mood on the south side of serious. The pink and white stripes--genious! If this woman is anything like me, she'll love it.
There's no doubt in my mind seeing all these little details you're are letting us have a peek at are all indicating that this is going to be a gorgeous and successful decorating project. And what a million dollar view!
Ohh cannot wait, I love suspense and then big reveals lol

Good choice of fabrics! The bed is really unusual, not exactly my taste, but you are really highlighting it with the rug and fabrics. Can't wait to see the finished product. Ann
Can't wait to see the completed room. She already has a lot of nice pieces for you to work with. Sounds like fun!
