Decisions Decisions

I've selected the paint color for the living room. It's Parachute Silk by Behr the color samples online show up as a bit of a taupe color but in actuality it is more of a beige with a hint of yellow. I think the color will flow perfectly from the foyer which is a calming smokey light blue. With such soothing wall colors I figured I could play around with pops of color in the accents. Here are the current runnings for pillow choices on the couch.

Waverly Ellis Turquoise



Robert Allen Kiki Pinata


I ordered both swatches from Fabric.com . Fortunately both are on sale, the Waverly pattern is 8.98/yd unfortunately it is out of stock until April 7th. The Robert Allen fabric is stocked and on sale for 12.98/yd. I'm really considering ordering from a different online store since last week they said the fabric would be in stock March 17th. One of the good things about the site though is that they offer free shipping on orders over 35.00 and they also sent two coupons with the swatches.  I'm also ordering fabric for pillows in the boys' rooms and thought I could get a great deal and save on shipping. It looks like I may have to go elsewhere. I really like how vibrant the colors are in the Robert Allen pillow and the Waverly pattern is also inspiration for another project in the room. This will be my first attempt at making pillows. I think this project may require a glass of Moscato to calm the sewing jitters. Hmmm (finger on the temple)......I wonder if mom will help me sew?
