I helped a reader of Making it Lovely, Kathryn, with her bedroom not long ago. It was a fun project to work on, and the room is now featured in the new issue of Adore Home, an Australian online magazine!
The coverage of Kathryn’s bedroom starts on page 120.
Thanks, Adore Home.

February 6, 2012 at 3:27 pmWhat a nice feature! It really looks like your work, too. Just not in pink. You have a very recognizable aesthetic. I like it!

February 7, 2012 at 12:20 amI’m glad! I always think that color is important, but not the defining element. Switch out the blue for pink (or yellow, or green, or whatever) and the room should still work just as well, or it wasn’t done well enough to begin with.

February 6, 2012 at 3:32 pmLove it! Love the new blog design as well!

February 6, 2012 at 3:42 pmSo pretty! The room reminded me of the “my-living-room-but-in-blue” mood board you did oh so long ago. I loved the colors then and now! In fact . . . my living room currently features barely-blue walls and a black and white stripe rug. :) Thanks!
Making it Lovely
February 7, 2012 at 12:25 amAh, you have a great memory! And you’re right, too!
(p.s. Here’s the post she’s referencing.)

February 6, 2012 at 5:06 pmLove your blog! Could you tell us which wardrobe you ended up using for this room? Is that the Ikea pax? Thanks!
Making it Lovely
February 7, 2012 at 12:23 amYes, that’s the one. My Pinterest board for Kathryn’s bedroom has all the links to sources (plus a bunch of other things I had been considering, all of which would have worked in the space as well).

February 6, 2012 at 5:35 pmthat is so great! congrats!!

February 6, 2012 at 6:16 pmI love this! especially because I have the exact same fabric on my headboard. We bought it from Ikea and my husband covered the headboard and bed base in it and also made matching fabric panels for the windows and cushions.
Making it Lovely
February 7, 2012 at 12:26 amIt’s such a great fabric, and so inexpensive. Kathryn already had it on the headboard, so we just added it to the other end of the bed to match.

February 6, 2012 at 11:52 pmThe room looks amazing in the magazine. Congratulations!
It has given me so much inspiration http://zaharadessert.blogspot.com/2012/01/converting-our-attic-into-3rd.html

February 7, 2012 at 12:16 amVery Nice! I’ve been looking for some inspiration towards me and my husband’s bedroom to make it less girly and more neutral looking. That hive vase is too cute! Congrats on the article :)
Laura
February 7, 2012 at 4:41 amyour blog feels so corporate now. offputting for me!
Making it Lovely
February 7, 2012 at 10:53 amI’m sorry you feel that way. I think the partnership for Kathryn’s bedroom was a great one, and I’m proud of it! I couldn’t have given away a free room design to a reader without a budget provided.

February 7, 2012 at 1:51 pmI always sort of awkwardly glance at the fabric section at IKEA, but I’m too nervous to actually look at anything. I have no idea why.. That fabric is awesome! Can you just find any sales associate to cut it for you? I realize I sound dumb. I find the IKEA fabric thing to be very confusing. There’s never anyone nearby.
Making it Lovely
February 7, 2012 at 2:34 pmThere’s almost never anyone around, but you can track down someone (any employee) to help you.

February 8, 2012 at 4:10 amI might have to ‘steal’ this style myself actually! I’m from Australia but I have never heard of this magazine (shame on me I know ) so thank you for introducing it to me. Congratulations too!

July 3, 2013 at 12:43 amHello,
I know this is so old but I have searched high and low for a black and White Chevron rug like theirs.. Do you remember where they got it from? Every website has black and cream with a lot of shedding. Theirs look very high end
Making it Lovely
July 3, 2013 at 3:12 pmThe rug was Kathryn’s already, but I think she got it from RugsUSA.com for something incredible like $300.
