Another Obsessive Bedding Post

Ok, so no sooner did I hit <i>publish</i> on my <a href="http://www.belclairehouse.blogspot.com/2012/02/bedding-situation-update.html">bed pillow post</a> from yesterday, when I came across <i>another</i> possible contender for my bedding situation.  It's never ending y'all.  It was <a href="http://www.houseofturquoise.com/2012/02/guest-blogger-amanda-from-dixie.html">this post</a> over on <a href="http://www.houseofturquoise.com/">House of Turquoise</a> where guest blogger Amanda from <a href="http://www.dixiedelights.blogspot.com/">Dixie Delights</a> was showing some very impressive before and after pics of her home (seriously you must check it out) that I stopped on this image of her barstools. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXF7yqbxmWnys9AhpRCfuB9Oka6uDx1N4kBgm12-4VuQqeYdMfSjhjY2IPFG5maKf7J_8HRWc_pX9vspMv5eLMpLuCrfXd4_UckEsIQKWTu53WVE-eN2GI12HSUpE29r1LU7St6sQXnn8/s1600/Bedroom+Dixie+Delights+via+House+of+Turquoise+.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXF7yqbxmWnys9AhpRCfuB9Oka6uDx1N4kBgm12-4VuQqeYdMfSjhjY2IPFG5maKf7J_8HRWc_pX9vspMv5eLMpLuCrfXd4_UckEsIQKWTu53WVE-eN2GI12HSUpE29r1LU7St6sQXnn8/s1600/Bedroom+Dixie+Delights+via+House+of+Turquoise+.jpg" /></a></div><br />So pretty right!

Bedding Situation Update

Quick post today because I have a million things to do, which includes picking my wallet up from the framer because apparently one of the customers found it in the parking lot.  Nicely done me. <br /><br />So I found a temporary solution to my bedding situation that involves some really pretty antique pillows I had sitting in the basement (yeah for free stuff!).  It makes me much happier although it's way far off from my usual color palette (hence their place in the basement). <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLgkHuisK9CMgRePGg-5IrpyNAaS5iybtSCRr4LonAU_-YXb62joedxobS1hyphenhyphen1f6vsKj5ECfiFkEKwV4Yi36qolzKxxr6kD_yl_iGly5BKgy9mXAwAjHSurlFttlOvqFC-s5GDFlMn2fo/s1600/photo+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="478" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLgkHuisK9CMgRePGg-5IrpyNAaS5iybtSCRr4LonAU_-YXb62joedxobS1hyphenhyphen1f6vsKj5ECfiFkEKwV4Yi36qolzKxxr6kD_yl_iGly5BKgy9mXAwAjHSurlFttlOvqFC-s5GDFlMn2fo/s640/photo+1.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br />The configuration looks less odd in person.  I purchased a new white coverlet and super soft white cotton duvet cover.  The giant pillow has an antique pillowcase given to me by The Suze for Christmas many moons ago. It was in Edward's room for awhile, but looks much better in our room with the tall canopy and ceilings.  It would be awesome to get another one (ahem).  Eventually I want to add a bolster pillow and replace the lamps with sconces as well as add some pretty wall art or chinoiserie. <br /><br />Close-up of the found basement pillow:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXb2vkEPtAnU3n6HNESkYXHghPnO9GNFvBT2QxUn65gkf5R6DItom1YTgkEfwxcyb7NAapTP9at_B4eKPGaFr_81UtBmUyhTNvIYflExt4L5RdC4aDGx42lcBBn_xYlIiwJWnScwpKqbM/s1600/photo+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="478" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXb2vkEPtAnU3n6HNESkYXHghPnO9GNFvBT2QxUn65gkf5R6DItom1YTgkEfwxcyb7NAapTP9at_B4eKPGaFr_81UtBmUyhTNvIYflExt4L5RdC4aDGx42lcBBn_xYlIiwJWnScwpKqbM/s640/photo+2.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />Edward likes it.  He's taken to closing his eyes whenever I point the camera at him.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixt1Gn8L9SVa3hjjUg48pMy7fyocrN3gLBtt_9P7S47lk0yQjGIojkkhHX_meQ1EYQq55SYZ7caNhHzZ33C7THcoOkSlXDDFoJ7PpQUCYQNIXXxwqtetGy5PZyVye_UkCHmDsjMyN1ZA0/s1600/photo+3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="478" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixt1Gn8L9SVa3hjjUg48pMy7fyocrN3gLBtt_9P7S47lk0yQjGIojkkhHX_meQ1EYQq55SYZ7caNhHzZ33C7THcoOkSlXDDFoJ7PpQUCYQNIXXxwqtetGy5PZyVye_UkCHmDsjMyN1ZA0/s640/photo+3.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj82KLc98KgxxtoJm6mBCgeiQCQDLeRyxlcgT6uq20Ok-Y_zgGAPPa5ghmQua0NhCwy_VZelKurvacqhn798S8g7hdr-HUXxnvt70oHF_jY5VRHORIBwKuaveRpbkBjC8j_Y77nu1sDVDk/s1600/photo+4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="478" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj82KLc98KgxxtoJm6mBCgeiQCQDLeRyxlcgT6uq20Ok-Y_zgGAPPa5ghmQua0NhCwy_VZelKurvacqhn798S8g7hdr-HUXxnvt70oHF_jY5VRHORIBwKuaveRpbkBjC8j_Y77nu1sDVDk/s640/photo+4.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br />A little better. <br /><br />Anyway, just wanted to give y'all an update.  It may not stay like this if I find something I love better, but having a white bed makes me soo happy.  <br /><br />Eventually I will get around to finishing Edward's bathroom, but the weather forecast suggests I will be outside playing with Edward most of this week.  I'm not about to take this bizarre but welcome warm winter weather* for granted.  Also, playing with Edward is way more fun. <br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">* I know, I know awesome alliteration, what?</span><br /><br />P.S. What did y'all think of The Bachelor last night? I wasn't surprised Nikki went home.  I called him picking Courtney from the beginning because of her model-ness and his dude-ness.  I find Ben to be devoid of any emotion.  I was surprised when Kacie came back.  I have no idea why I was surprised, since it happens like that every year.  I can't wait for the Women Tell All next week!

Lulu's Listing: A Girl Can Dream ...

Morning y'all! My sissy sent me this new listing with the subject "A Girl Can Dream ..." and oh my gosh was she right.  This is the closest thing to my dream home yet.  In fact, this was the house my childhood friend grew up in, although it looked very different (but still gorgeous).  I loved this house even then and I often think if I ever build my own house it would be inspired by this home.  It was originally designed by the famous Dallas architect <a href="http://www.dougnewby.com/Architecture/Architects/Architects/architect_henry_thomson.asp">Hal Thompson</a> and has since been restored by <a href="http://wilsonfuqua.com/renovation/colonial-revival/">Wilson Fuqua</a> and <a href="http://cathykincaid.com/">Cathy Kincaid</a>.  When I see those names attached to a Dallas home, I know it's going to be good.  And, y'all, it's gooooood.  Oh Lawd, is it good!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Pretty Chintzy Inspiration

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Morning y'all! First, thank you so much for all of your thoughtful comments on Friday's post re: my <a href="http://www.belclairehouse.blogspot.com/2012/02/fresh-granny.html">bedroom pillow situation</a>.  Just to remind you, I was trying to choose between these two fabrics:<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNpy5fzMgyE1TWamFbO1HQTlusQZaQ_X0B8T2KPcfwu5ixcg2__ZXZBgsDJfN4iRI6c4UKfMYi0K71ESfyzDR9s0zjEX9_cdtKzIGNTovjV1aLzprigrcPRfD3jODKTag6voKU7C7T5Ls/s1600/Master+Bedroom+Pillows+.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNpy5fzMgyE1TWamFbO1HQTlusQZaQ_X0B8T2KPcfwu5ixcg2__ZXZBgsDJfN4iRI6c4UKfMYi0K71ESfyzDR9s0zjEX9_cdtKzIGNTovjV1aLzprigrcPRfD3jODKTag6voKU7C7T5Ls/s640/Master+Bedroom+Pillows+.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Millais (left) or Charlotte Moss (right) </td></tr></tbody></table><br />I still love them both, but I'm leaning toward the Charlotte Moss on the right for a couple of reasons.  First and most importantly, when I see it as I'm walking into my room I feel a rush of happy endorphins. Perhaps, it is the 80s Ralph Lauren vibe (I know exactly which fabric y'all are talking about - my best friend had it and maybe I was a little envious?).  I don't mind 80s to be honest.  It was a really great time in my life in which I was surrounded by chintzy florals thanks to The Suze.  Also, the Millaise matches a little <i>too</i> well, which makes me uncomfortable.  I need a pop of something to break up the monotony of the room.  I'll let y'all know what I decide and show you pictures, but again thanks so much for your feedback! <br /><br />Now for some pretty chintzy inspiration that is moving me into an obsessive floral moment.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB0ZcpzHuLwMvvuDdk2xzY4tnwpkiQSUF4p8zbBB6X2Kv-DorAXmuzkM_YPMwTbVfXLqPaMf8dEkgHkuPQ7L5OUdKc91BPqWDlTaQ7UzcFVqzo9tjEJ2HUmco0UhsfxS3z-4eXqV6mx2A/s1600/Master+Bedroom+Fabric+Isaac+Mizraahi+for+S+Harris+.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB0ZcpzHuLwMvvuDdk2xzY4tnwpkiQSUF4p8zbBB6X2Kv-DorAXmuzkM_YPMwTbVfXLqPaMf8dEkgHkuPQ7L5OUdKc91BPqWDlTaQ7UzcFVqzo9tjEJ2HUmco0UhsfxS3z-4eXqV6mx2A/s640/Master+Bedroom+Fabric+Isaac+Mizraahi+for+S+Harris+.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.sharris.com/search/product_details.php?product_id=8398802&searchtype=single_advanced&sorting=&return_search=set&page=5&nav=Next&pre=60&pos=75&pages=6&application_id=F&collection_id=2114&pram=7&searchclass=">Isaac Mizrahi for S.
