Indecision

I have gone back and forth on the baby's room so many time, that I finally had to commit, and be done with it. It all started this weekend at Calico Corners. I brought in a picture of this window treatment I wanted that I knew would be perfect for the room, and give it a polished look, with a touch of chartreuse as punch. Well, when we were all through adding up the work that would need to be done, it came to $1,200! Yikes. As much as my dreams were shattered, I couldn't justify it. Plus, there is really no other place around where you can get window treatments, so you're at the mercy of this place who's obviously cornered the market in Baltimore County. Since all of their treatments take 8-10 weeks, I had to make a snap decision and just went with a balloon/roman blend on the spot. I am using the chartreuse material I was originally only going to use as trim on the other one, so who knows if this thing will end up overboard or not. Nothing I can do. Can't return the thing, so I'll have to live with it regardless of how it comes out.

I also chose bedding. I was going to re-use Lyla's lovely bedding from Dwell, but it is pink and dark brown with trees, and it didn't really fit with the new lavender gig. So, I went to my favorite place Etsy to have it all done. Of course the bedding won't be done until after the baby arrives, because I waited so long. Luckily this kid will be in a bassinet for a bit, cuz there ain't nothin' coming together in that room. Every night Lyla runs in there and yells, "Echo!" It's like a cave. Cold and cavernous. I have decided to do a darker gray for the floor in there, since I'm afraid of it either getting too matchy/matchy, which I hate, or too circussy with every color. Either could occur at this point, so I'm feeling very uneasy. I wish I had a better gift of focusing myself and knowing what will look good. Actually, I know that rip off $1,200 window would have been perfect, it's my new all-green window that scares me. It could come off looking awfully grinchy in there.

So, here is the bedding...

The small print is the bed skirt, and the larger floral print is the bumper.
Like I said, purple can easily take over, and this room is purely purple. I know I'm going to end up hating in two weeks, especially with this nutty green balloon shade. Who convinced me away from neutrals? Mom, Judy. We'll see what happens. I can wait until she's in a big girl bed, then re-work. Or, we move! Yay.
