Thank you! We’ve definitely been lax about posting lately but need to get back to it soon.

I believe I found the fabric at Hancock Fabrics. Their web site says it’s been discontinued but they still have limited quanties in stock. The pattern is called “Spirodots” so if you just Google “spirodots black pink” you should find several different fabric stores/web sites that carry it.

Have fun with your new bungalow!

Keep posting!

Just a word of warning – this is one of those colors that looks different under different lighting conditions. We have quite a bit of natural light in the playroom (windows on both sides of the room) and a really layered lighting plan (recessed ceiling cans, wall sconces and tabletop lighting) which makes this color look bright and cheerful. It can look very drab, dull and yellowish-olive under less “friendly” lighting conditions. I chose the fabric for the room first and then looked at paint color samples next to the fabric in the playroom itself before choosing a wall color so I wouldn’t have any surprises. I think that’s always a good way to go – choose a fabric or rug you love first and match the paint color to it. That’s much easier than trying to match items to a wall color. And look at your paint swatches in the room in which you’ll be using the color. When I saw this color in the paint store, I worried I’d written down the wrong color! It was so drab. But it doesn’t look drab at all in the playroom – it’s all because of the lighting.

Good luck!

We are moving to a new house (in a new state!) in 2 weeks and I have MANY, MANY, MANY things that I want to do – so I am trying so hard to be creative but also work within a budget. The playroom is first, because mommy needs to maintain her sanity :O).

I have been searching for aqua blue/pink/green bins for the Expedit shelf. We have a larger Expedit shelf (the biggest one) in brown/black and I have the green Target Itso bins that fit PERFECTLY – but they only make them in primary colors. Boooo! I found a few different canvas bins on my search today, but none that really fit the color scheme I am working with. I plan to do our walls a lighter shade of aqua blue (I considered the green you chose, though!) and I was going to do pink curtains from PB (not 100% sure yet, though). We will also have two of the Ikea white shelves (the ‘floating’ ones that attach to the wall without supports) centered above the Expedit, so I think the benches w/ framed photos above would work so well.

I’m rambling. I’ll let you know what I end up choosing!
