Apartment Updates: Bowood Headboard and Sarah K Designs Bedding

Factors are genuinely setting up to decide up steam in the condominium! I’m usually sharing real-time updates on Instagram but I needed to write-up some more photos of the new headboard in this article since I enjoy it SO substantially. I’m so happy that Jen and I made a decision on making use of Bowood for this piece. To say it’s been transformed is an understatement. As you might recall, the headboard is the Pondicherry from Serena and Lily, in a grey linen that they supplied. I liked it but was never about the moon about it, and following a few decades it undoubtedly had a couple stains and was in have to have of a makeover. I briefly viewed as receiving a distinctive headboard entirely, or a bed (I truly preferred a brass bed!), but eventually we made the decision that reupholstering this was the greatest possibility. I’m really definitely happy we were equipped to reuse something I currently had – and observing it in this new fabric has made me realize how much I essentially love the condition and lines of it. Like, Adore! 

We applied Jen’s upholsterer for this job, and I know I’m a undesirable blogger for the reason that this would be substantially far more intriguing or insightful for individuals if I had like, DIY’ed it! Or far more remarkable if I’d located it secondhand or what have you. Alas, I am not a DIYer and I am not fortunate adequate (or affected individual more than enough) to obtain a piece like this secondhand! So we employed a specialist and I’m thrilled with how it turned out. It’s just breathtaking and very seriously will make the space. I’ve generally preferred Bowood but I have to say, it is even far more impactful and gorgeous in particular person. Also desired to observe that I made use of Bowood Union, which is the version which is a combine of cotton, nylon and linen. Frequent Bowood is 100% cotton and will come in a several colorways. My colorway is environmentally friendly/gray. I chose this simply because there are two neutral colorways of the 100% cotton Bowood – green/gray, or white/leaf (there are also blue and pink versions). The eco-friendly/grey had a extremely beige ground, and the white/leaf had a very white ground. It was difficult to choose due to the fact I favored both in unique techniques – the beige floor experienced a pretty tea-colored, antique appear, but the white/leaf was very cleanse looking. Thankfully there was a best remedy – Bowood Union in inexperienced/gray. It has a beige floor that’s not AS beige as the other model – so it is very seriously the great medium concerning the two. Perplexing, maybe! I felt it was critical to do my exploration and see all of the shade and material solutions before picking out, so I’m glad I did that. 

I also wanted to share how a lot I really like my Sarah K. Designs bedding! I uncovered it through (who else?) Louise Roe, and just experienced to have it – even although figuring out United kingdom sizing was a little bit of a head-scratcher. I’ve normally just been wholly enamored with ditsy florals so there was no dilemma in my intellect that I essential this cover and pillow set. It is so quite and charming. The shades, the print, the ruffles…just great. I have a comprehensive sizing bed and I’m rather confident I received the Uk King size. It suits completely and it’s genuinely gentle and cozy. (By the way, I seriously need to change the drum shades – I’m contemplating of doing a pleated environmentally friendly cloth!). It is essentially odd, I made use of to constantly locate sleeping beneath my duvet super not comfortable and it felt actually sizzling and too hefty with a linen quilt cover on it…but ever because I switched to this a single, I have no difficulties and find it actually comfortable. Was it the cover protect all this time that was the difficulty, not the quilt by itself?! I truthfully never suspected! Weird. 

I just can not consider how significantly I adore Bowood! It’s this sort of a great blend of experience variety of vintage and antique, but also fresh new and energetic. There’s nothing fusty or fussy about it. It’s sort of a perfect material and I might go ahead and do curtains in it way too, since it is just so superior.
