Quilt Scrap ABCs from Happy Together
Wednesday, July 8, 2009 at 12:00AM
I'm a terrible decorator. I managed a pretty cute nursery when The Boy was still in utero - all sage green and yellow and "natural" unbleached looking. I used nursery rhyme toile - the less oft used "cat and the cradle" version. I loved it. It was peaceful, and The Boy seemed not to notice - as I would expect from any infant, and any boy.
The nursery, with some regret, became my studio/office when we moved back into our house - and now The Boy stays in the front room of our house. Now painted a little boy blue, it's entirely plain and un-put-together. It's the first room I'd really like to get together. I want to do it in bright, but non-primary colors like tangerine, deep ocean blue, off white, maybe a cranberry and maybe a lime green. I saw just the right combo in a rug at Crate and Barrel, but failed to buy and now can't find it (but am still searching).
One accessory that I want for his room is his name - and I think these cute quilt scrap ABCs would be just the ticket. Maybe a full set of 26 ... plus an extra set in The Boy's name? Stay tuned...
