I am still having problems with my blog, but please hang in there with me.  I have an expert working on it and things should be back to normal soon.  Thanks for being so patient with me, this is so stressful.

Choosing fabric for the guest bedroom is fun and difficult all at the same time.  I love our new house, however like any home it has it's challenges.  The previous owners had new carpet installed before they put the house on the market.  It is really nice carpet, just not my color choice.  Nothing really bad, just a little dark for me.  It is a tweed with specks of black/brown/cream in it, and somehow reads a little on the chocolate side that tends to have a bit of red in the right light.  I tried a few different fabric samples to see what might work and finally decided on light and bright.
All of these would work with the carpet and are colors that I really like.  I decided that since this is such a small room, I would go light and monochromatic.

I chose this taupe/gray dotted fabric.  It goes well with brown and with gray and that is what I wanted.  I can change things up and not be married to one color scheme.  I already had some dark gray shams, so that works too.

I was trying to find a place that wouldn't impede traffic to work on to cover the headboard insert.  The middle of the living/dining room seemed my best bet. haha  Doesn't everone do an upholstery makeover in their living roo...
