Apartment Updates: Bowood Headboard and Sarah K Designs Bedding

Points are truly beginning to select up steam in the apartment! I’m always sharing serious-time updates on Instagram but I required to submit some more photos of the new headboard here since I adore it SO significantly. I’m so happy that Jen and I decided on utilizing Bowood for this piece. To say it is been transformed is an understatement. As you may well don’t forget, the headboard is the Pondicherry from Serena and Lily, in a gray linen that they offered. I liked it but was never about the moon about it, and immediately after a couple of a long time it absolutely experienced a couple stains and was in will need of a makeover. I briefly regarded as finding a distinct headboard completely, or a mattress (I definitely wanted a brass bed!), but in the end we resolved that reupholstering this was the very best option. I’m actually actually happy we had been ready to reuse anything I now experienced – and viewing it in this new fabric has built me understand how much I truly appreciate the form and lines of it. Like, Love! 

We utilised Jen’s upholsterer for this undertaking, and I know I’m a poor blogger mainly because this would be much a lot more exciting or educational for folks if I experienced like, DIY’ed it! Or additional thrilling if I’d identified it secondhand or what have you. Alas, I am not a DIYer and I am not blessed enough (or affected individual more than enough) to obtain a piece like this secondhand! So we utilized a qualified and I’m thrilled with how it turned out. It is just amazing and seriously will make the home. I’ve generally liked Bowood but I have to say, it’s even a lot more impactful and gorgeous in person. Also preferred to note that I made use of Bowood Union, which is the variation that’s a combine of cotton, nylon and linen. Typical Bowood is 100% cotton and will come in a couple colorways. My colorway is environmentally friendly/grey. I selected this since there are two neutral colorways of the 100% cotton Bowood – inexperienced/grey, or white/leaf (there are also blue and pink variations). The eco-friendly/gray had a extremely beige floor, and the white/leaf experienced a incredibly white floor. It was tough to make a decision for the reason that I liked equally in unique approaches – the beige ground experienced a pretty tea-colored, antique look, but the white/leaf was really cleanse searching. Fortunately there was a fantastic solution – Bowood Union in green/grey. It has a beige floor that is not AS beige as the other variation – so it’s critically the ideal medium involving the two. Perplexing, maybe! I felt it was crucial to do my research and see all of the color and fabric possibilities in advance of deciding on, so I’m happy I did that. 

I also required to share how considerably I love my Sarah K. Models bedding! I found it by means of (who else?) Louise Roe, and just experienced to have it – even although figuring out Uk sizing was a little bit of a head-scratcher. I’ve always just been wholly enamored with ditsy florals so there was no problem in my head that I necessary this cover and pillow set. It’s so fairly and charming. The shades, the print, the ruffles…just fantastic. I have a total size mattress and I’m rather absolutely sure I acquired the British isles King dimension. It fits correctly and it’s seriously tender and relaxed. (By the way, I definitely will need to change the drum shades – I’m contemplating of accomplishing a pleated eco-friendly material!). It’s essentially weird, I applied to normally come across sleeping less than my duvet tremendous unpleasant and it felt genuinely scorching and too significant with a linen quilt cover on it…but at any time given that I switched to this a person, I have no concerns and locate it definitely comfortable. Was it the quilt include all this time that was the challenge, not the duvet by itself?! I actually never ever suspected! Bizarre. 

I just just can’t think how a great deal I love Bowood! It’s this sort of a fantastic mix of experience type of classic and antique, but also clean and energetic. There’s almost nothing fusty or fussy about it. It’s variety of a great fabric and I may possibly go forward and do curtains in it too, mainly because it is just so superior. 

Loads additional updates that I need to have to photograph and share – many thanks for subsequent!
