Where we play

We have a playroom in our house. It is supposed to be the formal living room, but we needed a playroom. Since it is in the front of the house, I wanted it to be fun but not too young and not too Fisher Price like.

I wanted grey walls. I just thought they would be nice and crisp with the white crown molding and baseboards. I knew I also wanted black and white to go with it. Then at the Atlanta Gift Mart, I saw some napkins that were black and white with lime green! I LOVE lime green! I knew that I could make the space fun with lime green!

I started with cornice boards. Since it's a playroom I didn't want curtains. I wanted something simple.


There you have it. Simple cornice boards with a touch of whimsy. Refreshing, isn't it?!

  2. Hi Kristi
    SO sorry, I just now saw this comment?! I found it at a store in Raleigh, NC called Mill Outlet Village. It is an amazing fabric store with some great prices (some not so much!). This was one of the great priced ones. I believe it is Waverly. I also firmly believe it was black. Some might argue that. I found this while trying to google it for you. http://www.onlinefabricstore.net/drapery-fabric/geometric-drapery-fabric/waverly-lovely-lattice-caviar-fabric-.htm I like this too. I bet if you called and/or showed it to someone at a fabric store they might know it...especially at a true fabric store (not a craft store). Good luck and let me know if you find it!! Can't wait to see your daughters room!!
