OK...this has been in the process since Christmas! Now we are in March, and I am still at it! I found a perfect bedspread/quilt; found the perfect wall paint; found an area rug that matched perfectly. I have been looking for either window drapes or fabric since sometime in January.
I thought I had found it. Fabric.com was having a great sale. I love the Fairy Frost line by Michael Miller. It is so scrumptious! So, I ordered 11 yards of the Leaf color and 2 of the Orchid. It came in today. The Orchid is perfect. The Leaf...not so much!
I know you should always pick the paint last. Paint is the easiest thing to match up. But once we found the quilt, I thought it would be easy from there on, so we settled on the three colors for her wall and painted.
The paint's name is Light Willow. It is a spring green with a hint of blue undertones. The fabric is the right spring green, just not the right undertones. Too much yellow and not enough blue. (and, yes, I understand that a spring green has yellow in it...but it can have blue undertones as well)
So, now I have to decide if I want to keep trying to find a fabric that will match better, or just go with this. Miss B will be home from school soon...maybe I'll let her decide!
