Apartment Updates: Bowood Headboard and Sarah K Designs Bedding

Matters are seriously starting up to choose up steam in the apartment! I’m often sharing real-time updates on Instagram but I required to submit some extra photos of the new headboard listed here for the reason that I enjoy it SO a lot. I’m so glad that Jen and I determined on working with Bowood for this piece. To say it is been transformed is an understatement. As you may possibly keep in mind, the headboard is the Pondicherry from Serena and Lily, in a gray linen that they offered. I preferred it but was hardly ever over the moon about it, and after a few a long time it absolutely experienced a handful of stains and was in need to have of a makeover. I briefly viewed as having a diverse headboard completely, or a mattress (I seriously wanted a brass bed!), but ultimately we resolved that reupholstering this was the very best possibility. I’m basically actually glad we ended up able to reuse one thing I now experienced – and looking at it in this new fabric has designed me realize how much I in fact love the shape and strains of it. Like, Really like!

We applied Jen’s upholsterer for this job, and I know I’m a undesirable blogger because this would be much additional fascinating or informative for individuals if I experienced like, DIY’ed it! Or a lot more fascinating if I’d discovered it secondhand or what have you. Alas, I am not a DIYer and I am not lucky more than enough (or individual more than enough) to locate a piece like this secondhand! So we utilized a professional and I’m thrilled with how it turned out. It’s just amazing and severely makes the space. I have often appreciated Bowood but I have to say, it is even much more impactful and stunning in person. Also wanted to take note that I employed Bowood Union, which is the edition which is a combine of cotton, nylon and linen. Frequent Bowood is 100% cotton and comes in a handful of colorways. My colorway is green/grey. I selected this mainly because there are two neutral colorways of the 100% cotton Bowood – eco-friendly/gray, or white/leaf (there are also blue and pink versions). The eco-friendly/gray had a pretty beige floor, and the white/leaf had a pretty white floor. It was tough to choose due to the fact I appreciated equally in distinct approaches – the beige ground experienced a really tea-colored, antique seem, but the white/leaf was extremely clean up seeking. The good thing is there was a excellent option – Bowood Union in environmentally friendly/grey. It has a beige floor which is not AS beige as the other version – so it is critically the perfect medium among the two. Baffling, maybe! I felt it was significant to do my study and see all of the color and cloth alternatives just before picking out, so I’m happy I did that.

I also wanted to share how much I appreciate my Sarah K. Models bedding! I identified it by way of (who else?) Louise Roe, and just experienced to have it – even however figuring out Uk sizing was a little bit of a head-scratcher. I’ve constantly just been completely enamored with ditsy florals so there was no issue in my head that I wanted this duvet and pillow established. It is so rather and charming. The shades, the print, the ruffles…just great. I have a complete size mattress and I’m really sure I received the United kingdom King measurement. It suits correctly and it is really smooth and cozy. (By the way, I genuinely need to have to swap the drum shades – I’m pondering of doing a pleated environmentally friendly fabric!). It’s really weird, I used to generally obtain sleeping under my quilt super unpleasant and it felt actually incredibly hot and much too weighty with a linen cover cover on it…but ever due to the fact I switched to this just one, I have no troubles and locate it actually comfy. Was it the quilt include all this time that was the concern, not the duvet by itself?! I actually by no means suspected! Weird.

I just just cannot believe how considerably I adore Bowood! It is these kinds of a excellent mix of feeling form of vintage and antique, but also clean and lively. There is nothing at all fusty or fussy about it. It’s sort of a excellent fabric and I could go in advance and do curtains in it too, mainly because it is just so superior.

A lot extra updates that I require to photograph and share – thanks for pursuing!
