My Daughter's Green Room

My daughter wanted her whole room painted green...like Kermit green. Instead, I painted a bold stripe of green on bright white walls, with green accessories. She loved it. #Bestof2012 #ProudestDIY #FavoriteProject

Teresa D - I am with you - I wouldn't paint the whole room green, either! I hope it works! Thank you!

@Karen, well thanks for the shade link, that's pretty awesome! I may use this in the Kitchen Window...especially since in MY world...it's gonna have a cupboard on both sides of it when I'm finished...instead of a short cabinet on one side and nothing on the other...

Thank you Karen. The closest Ikea is just short of 300 miles so I wouldn't be able to get it anyway. It's gorgeous. I should have known it was there's. I visited one in Sacramento, a couple years ago and it's just their style. Very MCM feeling.

Oh my goodness! I didn't even know Ikea carried fabric! We've had an Ikea in town now for a couple of years, but I've never visited it. You've just given me a reason to stop by and see what they have.

Sharron, I've never found anything at Ikea online that you can purchase. It always says to check your local store. Grrrr......
Becky H. You'll love it. When I flew to Cali to be with our daughter while driving her vehicle home before she headed to SK for a year we stopped in the Sacramento, store. It's amazing. I bought a few toys for our grandson, but since our daughter was going to have a packed car I couldn't buy ...»
anything else. I wish they'd get one close to us because I know I'd shop there more. Had we not been meeting a friend for dinner in another place I'd have wanted to eat in their cafeteria too. I really like the way it's set up.

Becky, I think that's right - I don't think you can order the fabric online. Sigh - sorry! Maybe a roadtrip is in order?!?

I'd love a road trip, but there's no reason to go that direction except Ikea. If only they had one in KC, MO. We have family down there.

I found their online site and it said you can place an order over the phone, that fabric is on sale for 5.99 a yard....Sorry I couldn't find this thread and posted on your cushion thread....with the link...

Oh thank you Sharron! Not that I "need" more fabric that I don't have a reason for buying! I had no idea you could order on the phone. That's awesome to know. I'm going to look at their fabric anyway. Thanks Sharron!

Thanks Karen. I didn't buy any. I have other fabric I need for a project. At least now I know I can by things from Ikea over the phone.

I love green and this is so modern but not with a cold feel. I love it. What a lucky daughter
