the reveal

Okay....so this is it....the big Cabbages and Roses reveal.

This post is jam packed with photos....and I'll let them do most of the talking....but please....if you have any questions about something you see....ask away....and if you want to see how this room looked before....you can check it out here.

The wall above is where I used the gorgeous C&R Natural Hatley wallpaper. Did you notice....the risers and moulding are painted white.



Love the C&R Provence Toile pillows.

The photo above shows how I used C&R's Natural Hatley fabric to "wallpaper" my wall. The area above the wainscotting is actually fabric that I soaked in starch and hung on the wall. It's a fantastic way to have the feeling of wallpapaer, but without the commitment. Whenever your ready for a change, you just peel the fabric off like a sticker....and viola....you have clean walls. Just imagine all the gorgeous fabrics you could use this way....okay....so is your mind racing right now.

With some of the leftover Natural Hatley fabric I had....I sewed me up this beautiful tote.

Here's a better look at the tote I made. I followed the directions in Christina Strutt's book Romantic Home Sewing to make the tote. This book is great...there's so many cute projects.

So....there it is. I really loved this project....my goal was to do an unexpected room and try to use Cabbages & Roses fabric in a different way....and I'm so happy with the results.

But wait....there's more....

now you can jump on over to Mary's blog and see her guest room makeover....it's amazing!

I also wanted to take a moment to thank Christina, Suzie, Lilly and everyone else at Cabbages & Roses for their wonderful support...and for giving me the chance to do this amazing project.
