The Pleated Look

Lately, I've been very drawn to pleated drapes for my bedroom. Right now, I have some basic Ikea curtains that used to reside in our living room, way back when and live in my bedroom. They were a temporary fix, that has long over stayed their welcome. Now that I've decided they've got to go, I've been thinking about what drapery style I want in on my bedroom window and french doors. I keep going back and forth between the classic look of pinch pleated drapes or inverted box pleat drapes. Either look, I plan to update my hardware with something like this [ but in black ] and use attach rings to the pleats. 

I love the look of inverted box pleat drapes, they have this classic look with modern edge. I'm totally crushing hard on this drapery style.

I'm also loving the classic look on pinch pleat drapes paired with ring pulls, are have that extra air of sophistication I love.

Now to decide which classic look, I really want in my bedroom, pinch pleat or inverted box pleat. I came across this image below in

Artful Addition

One of my favorite places to look/dream/buy artwork from is Minted.com, check out

Avery's gallery wall to see some of the darling prints from Minted I've used. I'm been slowing adding a touch of orange into our living room and wanted to add some artwork in that colorway. I had some Minted credit, and found the perfect artwork on there for my living room. Art is always a happy addition to a blank wall. Hop over here to see my favorite Grey Paint Colors, I've used around my home. 

The print, I ordered is called

Meander by Betty Hatchett, in the 16x16 print size. I love that when you order artwork from Minted, you have the option to have it framed and choose what type of frame you want to use. For the artwork, I choose a white premium wood frame. 

The pretty print, is such a happy update to my living room and just the right amount of orange I've been looking for to inject more color in my living room though artwork. 

Have you ordered any artwork from Minted?
