As the weather is warming and the flowers are peeking out, I suppose it's time to lose the plaid blankets in our bedrooms. I love them and can't wait to bring them back in September, but, I like to keep things fresh. Changing things around a little helps satisfy my shopping urge, honestly.
In the guest bedroom, I wasn't ready to go to the full-on summer look of lots of crisp blue and white. I went to my fabric stash and found a pretty green and blue floral remnant I bought out of a clearance bin for next-to-nothing.
The repeat is large and needed to be appreciated, so I took a cue from the bedroom in this house and just hung it over the upholstered headboard. I folded the edges under and ironed the creases. A couple of pieces of painter's tape (I didn't have any straight pins handy) holds the bottom in place.
It doesn't match exactly, but I think it "goes." And I love the way gold-toned mirror picks up golds in the fabric. A quick, easy -- and free! -- fix for spring.

I love the mirror! You just got an award on my blog, keep up the awesome work!
very nice! (and the plaid blankets were a hard one to top!)
What a great idea! Nicely done - the fabric looks perfect hanging over the headboard.

Oy ... This looks positively gorgeous! Love it!
What a great idea! It adds such a sweet sense of spring - and all the beautiful weather, flowers and sunshine to come. Love it! Trina
As they say on TLC's What Not to Wear, it does not have to match, it just has to GO. I think this goes perfectly, and I love the Spring look it gives to the room- just perfect!
great minds think alike! I saw this same technique on Paula's blog too and I sat and stared at my bed last night trying to decide what fabric would work! also, you have my most favorite Mateo quilt ever on your bed...I LOVE that pattern!
I know how you feel, I'm debating about getting rid of my faux fur throw.... I just need to find something springy to catch my eye!

Hey Jennifer! I'm not sure if that is what the dogs are, would it say it on them? I've heard they are worth something, but not sure.
I just adore that chest as a nightstand. So much character!
I love this minty green on your walls. What type/color of paint did you use? Thanks!
this is Blue Shamrock by Olympic in eggshell/satin finish.
